Huib
Het huisje is prachtig gesitueerd. Vanuit het huis kun je zo diverse wandelpaden op. Het huis is klein maar heeft alles wat je nodig hebt.Het heeft zeker enig achterstallig onderhoud, niet alles was perfect. Maar de stoelen zaten goed.Het bed kan beter. De douche was heerlijk.

Tired cottage needs tlcCofortable 2 week stayIn the middle of nowhere which was great for me because i know the area & wanted to be in this sort of enviroment.Under a flight path so could be noisey at times.I was expecting christmas decoration but there was none.i appreciated the pint of milk,bottle of prosseco & packet of crisps that were waiting for me on arrival.Washing up liquid,toilet roll,bedding,towels,tea towel, vacuum cleaner & surface cleaner provided,mop & broom both have broken handles,washing machine a bonus.Make sure you arrive with food,drink,washing up sponge,laundry liquid,hand wash ,oven gloves & cleaning cloths.Tv difficult to navigate,could not get the dvd player to work.wifi patchy.Although there were plenty of negatives i would consider staying again.
