    We unfortunately did not have a pleasant time in the cottage. We arrived late (of course this was entirely due to our own planning) and then we immediately noticed a very nasty, penetrating smell. At first we thought it was coming from outside and were very tired so we went to bed immediately. The next day it turned out that the smell was coming from the cottage itself and that it was related to the sewage system, which was clogged. When we informed the landlords they indicated that there was nothing they could do at that time and advised us to flush hot water down the toilet, etc. This we did but unfortunately did not help. Afterwards it turned out that the problem was in the municipal sewer system. This feedback was nice, but we did not feel very helped during our stay. We had chosen the cottage so we could take a bath, but since the bathtub drain was bubbling we didn't dare. The wood stove was top notch.

    This may be due to the season, but the cottage was not as sheltered as we expected. We could see other cottages from this cottage. The description states that it is in the middle of nature. We do not consider agricultural land to be in the middle of nature, but that may be our personal preference....

    A wonderful place to unwind. The wood stove completed our stay during the winter.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Even though the cottage is in a park, we felt like we were the only ones in the wide area.
