    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Short but powerful: - Location is great on the edge of the forest with direct access via gates from the garden. Distance to village for shopping etc. is about 5 minutes by car - Top house: everything is provided, super neat and clean, very attractive and cozy, and a great fireplace - Garden really on top, fully enclosed fenced with a fence and gates. For dog owners: this was truly a Valhalla for our dog. The dog barely seen these days and when leaving she did not want the car and fled back into the garden again. - Hostess: super friendly and a warm welcome with a good explanation of how everything works and what was present and through the app always available and very interested in the ups and downs of our stay. All in all such an experience that we have decided to book again immediately for 2 weeks in the fall.

    more than excellent.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    This is simply a TOP cottage. Beautiful and quiet location. From the garden directly into the forest, near hiking node 14, you can go through the forest to the village of Appelscha where plenty of opportunities for shopping, something to eat and drink....Om biking and hiking you can not be better. Also for our dog it was a paradise here. Also inside the cottage was more than fine, in the kitchen is really everything. Bicycles can be safely placed in the very orderly garden shed. Nice contact with the owner Marieke. We will definitely go back.
