    We stayed for 3 days with 3 people and 2 pets
    We had a lovely cottage, and the best part was that it was completely fenced in, so the dogs had the time of their lives too

    Comfortable beds and plenty of privacy

    It was wonderful to take the dogs for a morning walk while listening to the birds singing

    We’ll definitely be back 👌

    Thanks, the M.J. Vos family

    Zijn 3 dagen geweest met 3 mensen en 2 huisdieren
    Hadden een heerlijk huisje en het heerlijke was ook nog eens dat het helemaal omheind was, dus de hondjes hadden ook de tijd van hun leven

    Heerlijke bedden en heel veel privacy

    Heerlijk met de hondjes een ochtendwandeling en fluitende vogeltjes

    Zeer zeker voor herhaling vatbaar 👌

    Bedankt Fam:M.J.Vos

    Very nice houses, centrally located, with plenty within walking distance, and easy to get around by car. The town is really beautiful; there are lots of things to do and see there. Except for the fact that the beds are very small, everything is really nicely furnished and well-designed; we had a lovely terrace that was also relatively secluded. Unfortunately, there’s no garden—not all the houses have one, so you should check beforehand if you’re planning to bring dogs. Otherwise, we had a wonderful vacation there and would love to go back again.

    Sehr schöne Häuser, zentral gelegen, gut vieles zu Fuß erreichbar, entspannt auch mit dem Auto zu fahren. Der Ort ist echt schön, man kann dort viele Sachen machen und angucken. Bis auf das die Betten sehr klein sind, ist alles wirklich schön eingerichtet und schön gemacht, wir hatten eine schöne Terrasse die auch relativ versteckt war, leider keinen Garten, den gibt es nicht bei allen Häusern also da sollte man gucken vorher wenn man vieleicht mit Hunden kommt. Ansonsten hatten wir einen sehr schönen Urlaub dort und wollen sehr gerne nochmal wieder dort hin.

    We had a really nice week in this secluded village—an ideal starting point for hikes and day trips, with shops nearby and a bread delivery service right on site. A refreshing dip, birds singing, a beautifully maintained and peaceful park. The cottage had air conditioning, though the double bedroom was a bit small, as was the bathroom. On the plus side, there was plenty of storage space for our clothes,...

    Wij hadden een heel leuke week in het verscholen dorp, ideaal vertrekpunt voor wandelingen, uitstappen, winkels dichtbij, broodjesservice ter plekke. Een frisse duik, een vogeltjesconcert, park mooi onderhouden en rustig. Airco in het huisje, de tweepersoonskamer was wat klein, alsook de badkamer. Maar positief was de voldoende bergruimte voor onze kledij,...
