    All good, nice and friendly owners. Always approachable. Quiet area, occasional farm vehicles, but that belongs to the time of year.... Everything good to do by bike. Did not use car. I think I will come back again....

    The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need and very cozy. It is clean. The owners Willy and Gerrit are very hospitable, friendly and helpful. For example, I was able to enjoy the wood stove with Willy's help. I was lucky with the nice weather and was able to sit outside. The guinea fowls come a few times a day to check up on me. Furthermore, there is plenty to do. I was there mostly alone and even then it felt wonderfully friendly. My husband (1.95 m) was there on the weekend and had to think about his head, because the ceiling was a bit low for him.

    Wonderfully quiet, located in the back of a yard. Very quiet with lots of privacy. You notice almost nothing of the main road. An ideal base for many walks and cycling. The sculpture garden Pluck (every day) in Witharen is a must. At 200 meters from the cottage start several beautiful walks.

    Everything super fine, only the bed is a bit on the small side for us.

    A lovely place in the back of Gerrit and Willie's yard. Warm welcome, space and silence. Many birds. Everything for a relaxed stay. You only need to bring yourself -;). Beautiful surroundings, especially sitting outside; was 30+ degrees... May even stay one night longer!
