    We had a pleasant stay, but there are some areas of concern. The indoor area could have been cleaner. It seemed like only the toilet had been properly cleaned and otherwise a quick wipe over the surfaces. There was dust in many places, which could definitely be improved. We understand that the owners are not often there and therefore have less visibility on the cleaning, but this should be given more attention. In the end we did some cleaning ourselves, and also the outside area around the cottage could be better maintained. There is quite a bit of old junk, making the whole area look a bit less cared for. In addition, there is a net hanging near the treehouse. With some extra attention to the cleaning and maintenance of the outside area the stay would be much more pleasant.

    We had a fantastic time in the nature house. It is very quiet and because there is no through road, you can really enjoy the silence and nature around you. For those looking to relax and escape the hustle and bustle, this is a nice place. There is a lot of land around the house, which gives a spacious feeling. However, much of it consists of bushes, so as a guest you can not use much of it. Possibly more could be made of this, so that the outdoor space can be better utilized. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the tranquility that this location has to offer. With some minor improvements to the outdoor space and maintenance, the experience would be even more complete.

    Complete, cozy and pleasantly located. Beds upstairs a little soft. Contact and reception with the manager good. Mosquito nets would be a nice addition. Nice new plumbing, kitchen a bit outdated but functional.

    What a lovely cottage on a quiet little park. Wake up in the morning to a bird concert, get hot rolls at the adjacent park and then coffee somewhere in the garden in a sunny spot or on the porch. The children entertained themselves all day in the garden on the trampoline, swing or go-kart. Inside also plenty of entertainment with lots of games, toys and some craft materials. The cozy house actually has everything you want for a vacation in the woods. The day ends under the heater on the porch or with a self-stoked fire in the outdoor stove. In the area many trips to do with or without children. Castle Cannenburgh, bakery museum, swimming pool, hiking or biking in the woods and of course the ice cream truck in Gortel. All tips are in the folder in the cottage :)

    Fine cottage, fully equipped, extensive kitchen with enough material for cooking, 3 spacious bedrooms, mind you, beds are a bit soft (but good personal taste maybe), toys for children and games available.

    Nice small-scale bungalow park, you walk right into the woods when you cross the road and the park is quiet.
