    No idea how the area is suitable for canoeing, horseback riding, boating or fishing. ZIjn activities we do not do and therefore no judgment on those, because we simply have not paid attention to them......

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Right after the gate of the garden a large forest. Cottage is super neat and clean, character full decor and super location! Very good contact with owner and really thinks with you. Also for tips to places in the area or for eating out. Cottage is furnished with everything you need. Looking for peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings, this is for you!

    A nice cottage in a lovely place. Highly recommended!

    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.
