We werden hartelijk ontvangen door de gastvrouw en waren blij verrast dat alles schoon en verzorgd was in het huisje. Het was heerlijk ruim en compleet, met een net terras waar we van het buitenleven konden genieten. Het was geweldig dat er ook aan de kinderen was gedacht, er was zelfs Netflix aanwezig op de tv in de woonkamer. De auto kun je pakeren op het terras en het hek kan op slot, dus je auto staat veilig. We hebben prachtige wandelingen gemaakt in de nabije omgeving en er was genoeg te doen voor de kinderen binnen een halfuur rijden. Een perfecte vakantiebestemming voor het hele gezin!
