The cottage itself is small and cozy. The living room and kitchen are okay. The washing machine is next to the sauna in the shed/small outbuilding; there are two plastic chairs there to sit on.
In my opinion, the cleanliness of the cottage could be improved; there was quite a bit of dirt in the corners, and there were also a few thick cobwebs here and there. It would be nice if the bathroom had a shelf and, overall, a decent mirror.
Dog owners might find it worth noting that, unfortunately, the fence at the back of the yard is only about 40 cm high (instead of 1 m).
You can definitely relax in the cottage—standing on the terrace in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee, listening to the birds, and watching the sun’s rays filter through the trees—it’s quite something.Das Häuschen selber ist klein und schnuckelig. Das Wohnzimmer und die Küche ist soweit ok. Die Waschmaschine steht neben der Sauna im Schuppen/kleinem Nachbargebäude, zum Hinsetzen gibt es dort zwei Plastikstühle.
Die Sauberkeit im Häuschen wäre aus meiner Sicht verbesserungsfähig, in den Ecken war einiges an Schmutz und dickere Spinnweben gab es auch vereinzelt. Im Badezimmer wäre es schön wenn es eine Ablage und insgesamt einen gescheiten Spiegel geben würde.
Für Hundehalter wäre vielleicht interessant, dass im hinteren Bereich des Gartens der Zaun leider eher ca 40cm (statt 1m) hoch ist.
Entspannen kann man in dem Häuschen auf jeden Fall, morgens mit einem frischen Kaffee auf der Terrasse stehen, den Vögelchen zuhören und die Sonnenstrahlen durch die Bäume beobachten, das hat schon was.The cottage is located on a very quiet side street. The garden is truly beautiful and natural, and the area is lovely for taking walks and unwinding.
Das Häuschen liegt in einer sehr ruhigen Seitenstraße. Der Garten ist wirklich sehr schön und naturbelassen, die Gegend schön zum spazieren gehen und abschalten.

There is a bathtub in the bathroom, but no sink. Just a small vanity that's hard to reach.
It takes the sauna 2 hours to reach the right temperature.Er is in de badkamer wel een bad, maar geen wastafel. Alleen een klein fo teintje waar je niet goed bij kan.
De sauna doet er 2 uur over om op temperatuur te komen.The cottage is situated on a spacious lot in a very spacious neighborhood of vacation homes. Outside, you can clearly hear the cars on the provincial highway and the A1.
Het huisje ligt op een ruim perceel in een heel ruim opgezette wijk met vakantiewoningen. Buiten hoor je duidelijk de auto’s van de provinciale weg en de A1.

Communication with the owners went smoothly, and if there was ever a problem, you could just call them—which was great!
Communicatie met de eigenaren verliep vlot en als er iets was kan je gewoon bellen superfijn!
It was a lovely cottage in a quiet, wooded area. Even though there were other cottages nearby, you didn't notice them at all—it felt like you were in your own little bubble.
Was een heerlijk huisje op een rustige bosrijke plek. Ondanks dat er andere huisjes waren merk je er helemaal niets van en zit je in je eigen bubbell.
