Very nice! You stay with the owners on the property, but have lots of privacy on the terrace. The sauna was super, parking also top. Beautiful surroundings and a beautiful, new and school cottage.

The cottage and the sauna (!) were wonderful!
Het huisje en de sauna (!) waren heerlijk!
Lovely place! Hares and deer could be seen from the cottage, as well as ring sparrows, lots of titmice, blackbirds and a great spotted woodpecker. The cottage is near the Fochteloërveen, a beautiful nature reserve. We had bicycles with us and that was handy, because the distances are quite large.
Heerlijke plek! Hazen en reeën vanuit het huisje kunnen zien, evenals ringmussen, heel veel meesjes, merels en een grote bonte specht.
Het huisje ligt vlakbij het Fochteloërveen, een prachtig natuurgebied. We hadden fietsen mee en dat was wel handig, want de afstanden zijn behoorlijk groot.This text is automatically translated.
