Dus we waren enthousiast bij aankomst. Eenmaal binnen raakten we erg teleurgesteld. Wat zag alles er oud en vies uit! Schimmel op de muren, vieze banken met kleden erover heen, vieze wc-brillen, plakkerige keukenkastjes, een salontafel met vetvlekken waar zout overheen gestrooid was, afgebladderde spiegels, lekkage beneden, lekkage in de badkamer boven. Verder een oud fornuis met emaille pannen, afzuigkap die niet werkt, geen tuinmeubilair. En dan vergeet ik vast nog een hoop. We zijn eerder naar huis gegaan, omdat we toch wel erg behoeft me hadden aan weer een schoon huis. Heel erg jammer van onze vakantie. Dus zeker niet boeken! ##### Wendy W.

Authentieke stijl, goed onderhouden en veel 'vintage' elementen. De communicatie met de eigenaar is gemakkelijk (via sms). Het huisje heeft een houtkachel in de woonkamer en een open trap zonder leuning, dus wellicht niet zo geschikt met jonge kinderen. ##### Renske H. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### j.f j.

Haren in de wasbak, tandpasta vlekken zaten nog op de drinkbeker van de vorige huurders, spetters tandpasta op de spiegel, etc. Dat was erg jammer, er wordt toch een flink bedrag voor de schoonmaak in rekening gebracht. Het huisje is gezellig ingericht, bedden liggen heerlijk. Wel wordt er hard gereden op het aangrenzende landweggetje. Gelukkig komt er niet veel verkeer langs. Natuur in de omgeving is erg mooi. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Parkhotel Waregem](https://www.expedia.ca/Waregem-Hotels-Parkhotel-Waregem.h69551947.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel du Commerce](https://www.expedia.ca/Houffalize-Hotels-Cocoon-Hotel-Du-Commerce.h3234755.Hotel-Information) > - [Domaine des Terres du Val](https://www.expedia.ca/Wanze-Hotels-Naxhelet-Golf-Club.h9727439.Hotel-Information) > - [Van der Valk Hotel Nivelles - Sud](https://www.expedia.ca/Nivelles-Hotels-Van-Der-Valk-Nivelles-Sud-Hotel.h3575866.Hotel-Information) > - [Cha Cha de Loup B&B - Vakantiewoning](https://www.expedia.ca/Rendeux-Hotels-Cha-Cha-De-Loup.h112012582.Hotel-Information) > - [Beach Hotel Helios by CW Hotel Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Bruges-Hotels-Hotel-Helios.h4846866.Hotel-Information) > - [Amosa Liège City Centre Apart Regence 10](https://www.expedia.ca/Liege-Hotels-Amosa-Liege-City-Centre-Apart-Regence-10.h40888064.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels.d178280.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotel L'ARTiste](https://www.expedia.ca/Lessines-Hotels-Hotel-LARTiste.h79396137.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Torenhof](https://www.expedia.ca/Sint-Martens-Latem-Hotels-Hotel-Torenhof.h92013328.Hotel-Information) > - [Spend the night in a private spa for couples with sauna hammam jaccuzi](https://www.expedia.ca/Mouscron-Hotels-Spend-The-Night-In-A-Private-Spa-For-Couples-With-Sauna-Steam-Room-Jaccuzi.h37027293.Hotel-Information) > - [Appartement Avec Terrasse au Pied de la Citadelle](https://www.expedia.ca/Namur-Hotels-Appartement-Avec-Terrasse-Au-Pied-De-La-Citadelle.h100298690.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel ibis De Panne](https://www.expedia.ca/De-Panne-Hotels-Hotel-Ibis-De-Panne.h7394866.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel d'Alcantara](https://www.expedia.ca/Tournai-Hotels-Hotel-DAlcantara.h12824069.Hotel-Information) > - [Amosa Liège City Centre Apart Regence 17](https://www.expedia.ca/Liege-Hotels-Amosa-Liege-City-Centre-Apart-Regence-17.h40888152.Hotel-Information) > - [La Lumière Comfort 5p](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastiere-Hotels-La-Lumiere-Comfort-5p.h29583308.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Le Florentin](https://www.expedia.ca/Florenville-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Florentin.h17418992.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Relax Hotel Restaurant Pip Margraff](https://www.expedia.ca/Sankt-Vith-Hotels-Relax-Hotel-Restaurant-Pip-Margraff.h4150905.Hotel-Information) > - [B Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Bierbeek-Hotels-B-Guesthouse.h9127044.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels.d178307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotel Shamon](https://www.expedia.ca/Eeklo-Hotels-Hotel-Shamon.h19659081.Hotel-Information) > - [Aparthotel Acropolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Middelkerke-Hotels-Aparthotel-Acropolis.h44269759.Hotel-Information) > - [Corbie Lommel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lommel-Hotels-Corbie-Lommel.h3748406.Hotel-Information) > - [b&b d'Ereplatse](https://www.expedia.ca/Zuienkerke-Hotels-Bb-DEreplatse.h101822783.Hotel-Information) > - [Square Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kortrijk-Hotels-Square-Hotel.h5083688.Hotel-Information) > - [Ooostel2.be Leuven](https://www.expedia.ca/Leuven-Hotels-Ooostel2be-Leuven.h24004555.Hotel-Information) > - [Begijnhof Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Leuven-Hotels-Begijnhof-Hotel.h1796957.Hotel-Information) > - [Urban Gardens Gent](https://www.expedia.ca/Ghent-Hotels-Urban-Gardens-Gent.h83974084.Hotel-Information)
