About this property

}. We really enjoyed our stay, the house was lovely and spacious with a large garden which we made use of when we had the hottest day of the year! The communication from the owner was excellent and kept checking in on us during our stay to see if everything was ok and whether we needed anything. All in all a lovely stay and would definitely recommend for holidaymakers wishing to explore the area.

The main reason for this is the beds. The double bed has a foam mattress. Only this is so sturdy that it literally feels like you're lying on a board. We therefore moved to the other bedroom halfway through the first night. However, the mattresses in this room are not much better. High in the middle because of the springs, only a few centimeters thick on the sides. So every time you turn over you practically roll out of bed. As a result, you don't really get a good night's sleep. The cottage itself has been refurbished and decorated with much love and attention. Yet you notice that the owner himself has never camped there for a week, because there are quite a few points that could be improved. ⢠There is a smart TV in the living room, but it will not connect to the WiFi in any way. So watching Netflix is not an option. ⢠The central heating is off in the summer. But that also means that the towel rail in the bathroom is off, so towels don't dry and you have to dry off with wet towels. ⢠There are not enough plates, so you actually have to run the dishwasher every day because you keep getting wrong, especially on plates. The cylinder of the front door is loose and the closing mechanism of the front door does not feel very reliable.
