More like a homecoming visit with friends! Tim and Abina welcomed us with open arms and assisted in making our stay one of joy. They not only gave us tips on where to visit to find information on my genealogical research but also introductions to people who could help! The visit will be the first of many we hope...

Beautifull furniture. Very nice spot to look around and hear the birds. The care , the interest and the humour of the owners gave us a very good mood. We would like te see them again. They have interesting information about what is worthwhile seeing.

Especially the wifi. I would recommend the property, but with a 'word of warning' about the wifi and the (lack of) 4g/5g. Our children and (elderly) parents weren't able to contact us several times, so that's something people might want to know beforehand. Having said that the owners couldn't be nicer people, they're attentive and so, so friendly. A better wifi router would make it a 10 out of 10 for us.
