Nature and surroundings
In the morning, you can enjoy the silence with a cup of coffee on the terrace; during the day, you can explore the surroundings or retreat with a book; and in the evening, you can let yourself be enveloped by the tranquility of nature. Here, it’s all about slowing down, connecting, and enjoying the moment. There’s plenty to do here—or plenty of time to do nothing at all. On weekends, holidays, and during vacation periods, there’s a program featuring (kids’) yoga, foraging walks, meditation, scavenger hunts, and campfires. You can also enjoy the natural, wooded surroundings. Bonus: A Welvaere hot tub is available for rent on the property. This isn’t just any place to stay—it’s a place in the making.

Too small. You couldn't even turn around.
Not enough cooking utensils.
Not enough furniture.Te klein. Je kon je kont niet keren.
Onvoldoende kookgerei.
Onvoldoende meubilair.Car traffic was audible.
The cottage was smaller than expected. We really missed having a roof over the outdoor deck. There was a lot of light pollution at night. There was only one comfortable chair. My partner had to sit on a kitchen chair.Hoorbaar weg met autoverkeer.
Ruimte in het huisje kleiner dan verwacht. Overkapping buitenvlonder werd zeer gemist. ‘s Nachts veel lichtvervuiling. Er was slechts één goede zitstoel. Partner moest op keukenstoel zitten.This text is automatically translated. -

Fine cottage, but it was noticeable that it is still in start-up phase. The glass of the facade was leaking, causing condensation in the glass. This constantly made it look like it was raining, which gave a lesser atmosphere to the cottage. The small side window had no curtains, so it was light pretty quickly in the morning. A curtain is not a luxury. Furthermore, there was no lighter in the cottage, so the gas stove could not be turned on. The bed was a bit on the rickety side, with a hard mattress.
Prima huisje, maar het was te merken dat het nog in opstartende fase is. Het glas van de pui was lek, waardoor er condens in het glas aanwezig was. Hierdoor leek het continu alsof het regende, wat een mindere sfeer gaf aan het huisje. Het kleine zijraam had geen gordijnen, dus smorgens was het vrij snel licht. Een gordijn is geen overbodige luxe. Verder was er geen aansteker in het huisje, waardoor het gasstel niet aan kon. Het bed was wel wat aan de krakkemikkige kant, met een hard matras.
The rest was wonderful, the cottage was also good in terms of amenities but some improvements could be made.
De rust was heerlijk, het huisje was qua voorzieningen ook goed maar er zijn wel wat verbeteringen mogelijk.
