A cozy and neat little house, right next to the owners' home, but with plenty of privacy and its own outdoor space and patio
gezellig en net huisje, naast het huis van de eigenaars, maar wel veel privacy en eigen buitenruimte en terras
A beautifully decorated cottage, very neat and comfortable, on the outskirts of Appelscha, set in the middle of a large garden. You can walk right into the woods. In Appelscha, you have all the amenities you need within easy reach, but above all, the surrounding nature is beautiful and varied: forests, heathland, peatlands… ideally located for cyclists and hikers.
Mooi ingericht huisje, zeer net en gerieflijk, aan de rand van Appelscha, midden in een grote tuin. Je kan zo het bos inwandelen. In Appelscha heb je alle voorzieningen binnen handbereik, maar vooral de natuur in de omgeving is prachtig en gevarieerd: bossen, heide, veen.. ideaal gelegen voor fietsers en wandelaars.

A dishwasher would be a good fit because the countertop is a bit too small.
Een vaatwasser zou wel passen omdat het aanrechtje wel wat hinderlijk klein is.
A small, cozy cottage on the edge of the forest with a lovely path leading to the Bosheuveltoren.
The cottage offers peace and quiet and plenty of space, and meets all your vacation needs.
It is clean and tidy.
It is a bit dark, though, because of the trees next to the house.
A warm welcome.Een klein, prettig huisje aan de rand van het bos met een mooi pad naar de Bosheuveltoren.
Het verblijf biedt rust en de ruimte en voorziet in de vakantie behoefte.
Is schoon met netjes.
Wel wat donker door de bomen naast het huis.
Gastvrije ontvangst.This text is automatically translated. -
