Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im gestalteten Chalet! Das Interieur war gemütlich und modern, und die großen Fenster ließen viel Licht herein, was es noch geräumiger machte, Der Garten war der perfekte Ort für unseren Morgenkaffee, und wir liebten es, direkt neben dem Wald zu sein, Es war ruhig und friedlich, genau das, was wir für einen entspannenden Kurzurlaub brauchten, Das nahegelegene Bistro de Loep servierte köstliche Gerichte, und wir genossen es, die Umgebung zu erkunden This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Rob v.

Die Einrichtung der Cottages ist luxuriös und komplett ausgestattet. Freundliches Personal und Restaurant "de Loep" ist ausgezeichnet, wir hatten dort ein köstliches Essen. Kurz gesagt, sehr zu empfehlen. Familie Schnider ##### Piet S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Nelleke M.

Leider war das Haus nicht wirklich sauber, wir gingen in den Supermarkt um Putzmittel etc. zu holen, damit unser Sohn dort spielen konnte. Besonders eklig war es dort im Schlafzimmer. Wir hatten ein Bett auf der Seite, und das passiert wohl nie.... Die Häuser stehen wirklich dicht beieinander, wir hatten eine ganz andere Vorstellung davon, wie es aussah. Mikrowelle hatte auch ausgedient, Funken flogen umher zum Aufwärmen eine Flasche.Wir werden sicherlich nicht wieder hierher kommen. ##### Nelleke M.

An die Rezeption weitergegeben, dass es in der Dusche/Toilette fürchterlich nach Grube stank.Das Haus war morgens sehr kalt und am späten Nachmittag furchtbar warm. Ein sehr schlecht isoliertes Haus. So sehr, dass bei einem Gewitter die Türen so abgestellt wurden, dass sie sich nicht mehr richtig öffnen oder schließen wollten. An der Außenseite des Hauses war ein Gitter, wo man sehen konnte, dass Wasser unter dem Haus war. Strom kostet in diesem Park anscheinend nichts, weil die Straßenlaternen den ganzen Tag brannten, der Park sah wunderschön aus, aber deswegen werden wir hier nicht mehr herkommen. G.

Ein gepflegtes und komplett eingerichtetes Haus und eine Küche mit einem geräumigen 5-Flammen-Herd. Die Betten waren bequem für uns; wir haben gut geschlafen. Eine gute Anpassung wäre ein licht- und wärmereflektierendes „schwebendes“ Dach. Oder eine Klimaanlage, aber das ist keine nachhaltige Option. Es war zwar -vor allem "abends"- sehr warm im Haus, das lag zum Teil daran, dass die Schiebetür geschlossen bleiben musste, um aufdringliche Enten fernzuhalten, aber das Haus selbst ist daran nicht schuld that the ducks continuously soil the terrace with their droppings. ##### Gerrie B.
