The cottage is very nicely decorated, and you can sit outside.
The bed was comfortable, and there were real plants inside. There was also plenty of storage space for clothes, and the cottage was very clean. There weren’t any hiking trails right in the immediate vicinity. Walking here is mainly along the road. The area is better suited for biking, but we don’t do that ourselves.Het huisje is erg leuk ingericht en je kunt er buiten zitten.
Er was een prima bed en er waren echte planten aanwezig. Ook was er voldoende bergruimte voor de kleding en was het huisje goed schoon. Direct in de buurt waren er geen wandelpaden. Lopen kan hier vooral langs de weg. De omgeving is meer geschikt om te fietsen, maar dat doen wij zelf niet.This little house is located along a busy road. You couldn't tell from inside, but you could from outside.
Dit huisje ligt langs een drukke weg. Binnen was daar niets van te merken, maar buiten wel.
