Overall assessment
Yvonne Postma
Location was beautiful.
The cottage was fine in terms of comfort and cleanliness. But in the kitchen there was a lack of a usable lighter to light the gas fire, a usable paring knife, etc. There was also almost no space in the kitchen to store your own food. I did not dare to use the oven that is provided in the storage room, it had not been cleaned for a long time. The smoke smell from the fireplace is very penetrating and only disappeared after the third day.

The wood in the wood stove had not been cleared away, it smelled of heavy smoke. The cleaning round seemed to have been completed. The bathroom was not completely fresh and the garden furniture was dirty. After a cleaning round, it is a nice stay.
