Fam. W.C. August 16, 2025 General rating:not practical: 2 kitchenettes with utensils divided between them. No cupboards to store your groceries. (We put them all the time in crates on the floor) Tip: Pull a kitchen to the room and put a large table with 9 chairs. Mosquito nets for the windows is also recommended because we were quite annoyed by mosquitoes ....
niet praktisch: 2 keukentjes met keukengerei verdeeld over deze 2 keukentjes. Geen kastjes om je boodschappen in op te bergen. (die hebben we al die tijd in kratten op de grond gezet)
Tip: Trek één keuken bij de kamer en zet daar een grote tafel met 9 stoelen.
Horren voor de ramen is ook een aanrader omdat we behoorlijk last hadden van muggen..Nature, peace & environment:The garden is nice and spacious and really left to nature, the grass was cut. More than enough nice garden chairs available. The house, on the other hand, was less than we expected. Upon arrival we immediately noticed the musty smell. We opened all the windows and then we were fine. The cleaning left much to be desired, but fortunately a suitable solution was offered with the owner. Because the house is divided into two parts, with 9 people it is a bit of a struggle to sit at the table or sit on the couch. Because the weather was nice we could often eat outside and with adjusting our expectations (no washing machine among other things) we still had a nice vacation.
De tuin is lekker ruim en echt aan de natuur overgelaten, het gras was gemaaid. Meer dan voldoende lekkere tuinstoelen aanwezig. Het huis daarentegen was minder dan we gedacht hadden. Bij aankomst viel ons gelijk de muffe lucht op. Alle ramen open gezet en dan ging het goed. De schoonmaak liet te wensen over, maar gelukkig is er met de eigenaar een passende oplossing geboden. Omdat het huis in tweeën is gesplitst is het met 9 personen wel passen en meten om aan tafel te zitten of lekker in de bank te zitten. Omdat het mooi weer was konden we vaak buiten eten en met het bijstellen van onze verwachtingen (geen wasmachine o.a.) hadden we toch een fijne vakantie.

Marianne July 19, 2025 General rating:We had the linked homes, the 6 of us. That was just enough to have our own room for almost everyone. I recommend not having more than 6 there, but technically it can be done.Excellent facilities! Enough stuff to shower, cook and have all the conveniences. A list of available stuff might not be a luxury, as we had trailer with a lot of stuff, which were already there (like bbq, lounger etc...) As some guests have described as simple, I disagree. I found it quite luxurious! Very nice to have been there for 2 weeks. Contact with owner was also nice. Gas ran out after 2nd day and new gas bottle was immediately available in 'basement'.I definitely recommend it!
Wij hadden de gekoppelde woningen, met z'n 6-en. Dat was precies genoeg om voor bijna iedereen een eigen kamer te hebben. Ik adviseer om niet met meer dan 6 daar te zitten, maar technisch gezien kan het wel.
Prima faciliteiten! Genoeg spullen om te douchen, koken en van alle gemakken te zijn voorzien. Een lijst met aanwezige spullen zou misschien geen overbodige luxe zijn, want wij hadden aanhanger mee met veel spullen, die daar al waren (zoals bbq, ligbed enz...)
Zoals enkele gasten hebben beschreven als simpel, ben ik het niet mee eens. Ik vond het vrij luxe! Erg fijn om daar 2 weken te zijn geweest. Contact met eigenaresse was ook fijn. Gas was na 2e dag op en er was meteen nieuwe gasfles aanwezig in 'kelder'.
Ik raad het zeker aan!Nature, peace & environment:Nature house(s) was secluded (in sort of industrial park), but in the middle of nature. The backyard and stream provided space, peace and nature experience.
Natuurhuis(je) lag afgelegen (op soort van bedrijventerrein), maar midden in de natuur. De achtertuin en beekje zorgden voor ruimte, rust en natuur beleving.

Beate June 14, 2025 General rating:It couldn't have been better.
Es hätte nicht besser sein können.
Nature, peace & environment:It was a super relaxing vacation away from the noise and yet only 5 minutes to the bakery. Everything you need is there. Great hiking trails nearby and ideal for dogs.
Es waren super erholsame Ferien fernab von Lärm und doch nur 5 Minuten zum Bäcker. Alles da was es braucht. Tolle Wanderwege in der Nähe und für Hunde ideal.
