    A nice cottage in a lovely place. Highly recommended!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Had a very pleasant contact with Marieke beforehand. Upon arrival the heating was on the cottage was clean and the beds were made. The cottage is fully equipped. There is a cozy fireplace, coffee, tea and many herbs are in stock and can be used. There is a Sonos soundbar on which we could play our Spotify music. From the garden you walk straight into the large forest where our dog could run loose during our long walks. So both we and our dog had a fantastic weekend.

    The cottage was spotless, cozy and fully equipped. Lovely that there is a space and complete kitchen with lots of pots and pans. The cottage was nice and warm upon arrival and because of the central heating good to get warm. The cozy fireplace is a mood maker for cozy evenings. Communication with the landlord was also flawless. There are plenty of games, toys, reading books and recent magazines to relax. Nice and good beds and a modern bathroom. We will definitely come back again soon to have a nice vacation and relax in this well maintained house. Nice that there are 2 bedrooms and the bathroom, toilet on the ground floor.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A lovely quiet place, just as we hoped. The cottage was in the middle of the forest, perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended for nature lovers. You are not bothered at all by anyone or neighbors. The birds in the spacious forest garden are a delight. The area is beautiful and ideal for walking with the dogs or children. From the private very large garden you can walk straight into the forest. There are several seats on different terraces outside. From the house you are in the village where all amenities are present such as a delicious bakery, butcher and good supermarket.

    It is a nice and spacious nature house. Everything you need is there. For example, the kitchen is very complete, there are games, craft materials and toys. The house is very clean and tidy.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The location is beautiful; on the edge of the forest, among the trees and there were many birds to see. It is also a very nice house to be with children. The garden is spacious and beautiful. The children can play soccer, swing and jump on the trampoline.
