Spacious rooms, a new bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen. It stayed wonderfully cool inside even though it was sweltering outside.
Ruime kamers, nieuwe badkamer, keuken met alles erop en eraan. Het bleef binnen heerlijk koel terwijl het buiten bloedheet was.
To get to the house, you have to walk through a small, unassuming industrial park, but the house itself is situated in an oasis of tranquility, greenery, and a babbling brook. I even spotted a kingfisher there.
Om bij het huis te komen moet je door een onduidelijk bedrijventerreintje, maar het huis zelf staat in een oase van stilte, groen, kabbelend beekje. Ik heb er zelfs een ijsvogeltje gespot.

Super quiet on the river and yet close to the village.
Super rustig aan de rivier en toch vlakbij het dorp.
It was a very idyllic place.
Het was een heel idyllische plek.

Perhaps it would be advisable to give the cottage some brighter colors inside. Now it makes a somewhat gloomy impression.
Wellicht is het raadzaam om het huisje van binnen wat vrolijker kleuren te geven. Nu maakt het een wat sombere indruk.
A quiet cottage, which is soberly furnished, but when the weather is nice, the outdoor space is fantastic. Do not expect a luxury furnished villa, but a functional cottage. otherwise equipped with a fine shower and bath and ditto heating.
Een rustig gelegen huisje, dat sober is ingericht, maar bij mooi weer is de buitenruimte fantastisch. Verwacht geen luxe ingerichte villa, maar een functioneel huisje. overigens voorzien van een prima douche en badruimte en dito verwarming.
