    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A cozy, pleasant, and well-equipped cottage.
    Petra is a very friendly hostess.
    Plenty of space in and around the cottage.
    We’d love to come back sometime.

    I enjoyed the Achterhoek. It's such a wonderful place to spend time.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    It has everything you could want. Good description of the amenities in the cottage. But completely unsuitable for the elderly and people with disabilities. Too many obstacles in the form of thresholds and steps. I myself, despite being careful, fell off them twice. Fortunately, it ended well. But it made me feel uneasy.
    I had been looking forward to the view. But since the cottage is surrounded by tall hedges, there was no view to speak of. All in all, not worth repeating as far as I’m concerned.
