We had a nice stay, but unfortunately, the start of our vacation was disappointing. Upon arrival, the accommodation wasn’t properly clean. According to the manager, the previous group of young people had left it very dirty. A few days later, an extra cleaning was performed, which we appreciate. Unfortunately, the cleaning crew didn’t have enough time to clean everything thoroughly, so not everything was cleaned properly.
In addition, we didn’t receive the practical information about our stay until one day in advance, after we had requested it ourselves. That caused us unnecessary anxiety, because we didn’t know if everything had been arranged and we wondered if we were driving all that way for nothing.
We hope that in the future, there will be better checks to ensure that accommodations are truly clean before new guests arrive, and that information about the stay is provided in a timely manner.We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad, maar de start van onze vakantie was helaas teleurstellend. Bij aankomst was de accommodatie niet goed schoon. Volgens de beheerder had de vorige groep jongeren het erg vies achtergelaten. Een aantal dagen later is er alsnog een extra schoonmaak uitgevoerd, wat we waarderen. Helaas had de schoonmaakploeg te weinig tijd om alles grondig schoon te maken, waardoor niet alles schoon is geworden.
Daarnaast ontvingen wij de praktische informatie over ons verblijf pas één dag van tevoren, nadat wij hier zelf om hadden gevraagd. Dat gaf ons onnodige onzekerheid, omdat we niet wisten of alles geregeld was en we ons afvroegen of we niet voor niets die kant op zouden rijden.
We hopen dat er in de toekomst beter wordt gecontroleerd of een accommodatie echt schoon is voordat nieuwe gasten arriveren en dat de informatie over het verblijf tijdig wordt verstrekt.The surroundings are beautifully green and offer opportunities to enjoy nature. However, anyone who values peace and quiet should keep in mind that the accommodation is located near a busy bridge. In addition, there were several roosters in the area that could be heard regularly. As a result, our experience of the tranquility was different from what we had expected beforehand.
De omgeving is mooi groen en biedt mogelijkheden om van de natuur te genieten. Wie echter veel waarde hecht aan rust, moet er rekening mee houden dat de accommodatie vlak bij een drukke brug ligt. Daarnaast waren er meerdere hanen in de omgeving die regelmatig hoorbaar waren. Hierdoor hebben wij de rust anders ervaren dan we vooraf hadden verwacht.

A beautiful and spacious house. Beautifully refurbished old house. Generous large kitchen, plenty of beds. Contact with the owner is very smooth. We had a very pleasant stay. Enough beautiful hiking trails in the area and Ghent is also not far away.
Een prachtig en ruim huis. Mooi opgeknapte oude woning. Royale grote keuken, genoeg slaapplaatsen. Contact met de eigenaar verloopt heel soepel. Wij hebben een zeer prettig verblijf gehad. Genoeg mooie wandelroutes in de omgeving en Gent is ook niet ver weg.
Beautiful quiet area with plenty of great hiking trails!
Mooie rustige omgeving met genoeg mooie wandelroutes!
