A wonderfully well-equipped cottage, very nicely decorated, with a beautiful terrace in a quiet location along a small canal overlooking meadows. It’s lovely to have breakfast in the sun. The inventory is very extensive, including a washer and dryer, plenty of dishes, and all those little things you look for. Spacious living room with a sofa set, dining table, and TV. The beds were comfortable, the comforters were warm—standard quality. Well-maintained. Spacious bathroom on the ground floor with a nice shower; there’s an additional toilet upstairs.
One downside for us: the smallest room (with two single beds) is very small, cannot be darkened, and the window doesn’t open. That made it difficult for two adults to sleep there.Bijzonder compleet huisje, erg leuk ingericht en met een mooi terras dat rustig ligt aan een kleine vaart met uitzicht op weilanden. Heerlijk ontbijten in de zon. Inventaris zeer uitgebreid inclusief (af)wasmachine, veel vaatwerk en al die kleine dingen, die je zoekt. Ruime woonkamer met bankstel en eettafel, TV. Bedden waren goed, dekbedden warm, standaard. Goed onderhouden. Ruime badkamer op begane grond met fijne douche, extra toilet boven.
Nadeel voor ons: de kleinste kamer (met twee losse bedden) is erg klein, kan niet verduisterd worden en er kan geen raam open. Dat maakte slapen voor twee volwassenen lastig.Great!
Prima!

There’s plenty to do in the area and plenty to see. You can go on bike rides that take you past dolmens, through heathland, farmland, and forests. But renting a boat and sailing on the Zuidlaardermeer gives you a completely different perspective on nature.
Er is veel te doen in de omgeving en genoeg te zien. Fietstochten waarbij je langs hunebedden fietst, langs heide, landerijen en bos. Maar een bootje huren en varen op het Zuidlaardermeer geeft je weer een totaal andere blik op de natuur.
A gem in northern Drenthe! We wanted for nothing in this absolutely beautiful 6-person house. The house has been furnished with great care and is equipped with many extras, for both adults and children. It’s located in a very peaceful setting with a terrace right on the water. Having breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the terrace by the water is really a must—one moment we were surprised by a little deer, the next by a kingfisher, and while the Scottish Highland cattle on the other side of the water grazed peacefully.
Een parel in het noorden van Drenthe! In dit zeer mooie 6-persoon huis ontbrak het ons aan niets. Het huis is met veel zorg ingericht en voorzien van vele extra's, zowel voor volwassenen als kinderen. Het huis ligt in een zeer rustige omgeving met een terras direct aan het water. Ontbijten, lunchen of dineren op het terras aan het water is eigenlijk een must, dan werden we weer verrast door een hertje, dan weer door een ijsvogel, en de Schotse Hooglanders, aan de overkant van het water, graasden rustig door.
