The surroundings are great. The cottage has not been cleaned well. It could all use a makeover, and some things could be better gotten rid of.

Quietly located, well-furnished holiday home.

House is nice and tidy but the seating area is not that comfortable and the 2 beds upstairs very narrow for adults, the house is more for 2 adults and 2 children.

Good value for money here. Spacey rooms, nice kitchen, and plenty of nature all around make it worth it.

For the price, this place is fantastic! I had everything I needed to work remotely, from a comfy bed to a nice kitchen for cooking up meals. The beautiful surroundings made it a great choice.

In short: poor maintenance, both inside and outside, despite the fact that the cleaner had made everything tidy. The door for the key had to be lifted to get it open (it took a while before we realized this) inside various doors on the ground, in the kitchen several things that were broken, the blinds are falling off, almost not able to look outside due to the poor maintenance of the garden (you really can't sit out here in nice weather, so much moss everywhere, besides not trimming various bushes. As a final blow, the TV also stopped working since yesterday: no signal or poor signal. It turns out the dish is too low and between the trees/branches, so you don't get reception. We returned home today, left before 10 o'clock, so it was a weekend. We would like to receive the rent for a midweek back, this can't be right. The owner must first get to work before you can rent it out again (in the park, the cottage is known as flea cottage, very negative thus).

We had a lot of fun in this cozy vacation home. It was clean and had everything we needed. The wood-fired oven made the evenings super cozy. Appelscha is a lovely village, and being close to the parks was a great win for our hiking plans.

We had a wonderful stay in this cozy holiday cottage! The wood stove made the place even more inviting, especially during the cool evenings. The garden was a great place to relax, and we enjoyed listening to the birds with our morning coffee. It is perfectly located near Drents-Friese Wold, which provided great hiking and biking.

Our experience in the vacation home was quite satisfying. The house itself was clean and spacious, comfortably accommodating our family of five. The kitchen was well-equipped, making meal preparation easy. We enjoyed visits to nearby attractions, especially the Staatsbosbeheer Appelscha Visitor Center. Although the decor was a bit outdated, it did not detract from our overall enjoyment. A good choice for those looking for a quiet getaway.

The house vas very colder when we got there, it took us 5 hours to heat up. We miss something to wash up the pans and such things with. They were not very clean.could have been a bit better equipped with kitchen tools. The beds are nice! The rocking chairs not the best, a bit difficult to get out of. In the equipment room we found empty beer bottles. One of the outdoor chairs are broken in the back, also some other trash? But otherwise a nice house.

This vacation home was a practical choice for our family holiday. We found it clean and well-maintained, with enough space for everyone. The two rooms upstairs were ideal for the children. The proximity to the national park was a big plus, and we spent the days exploring the trails and enjoying the beauty of the nature in the area.

We had a wonderful stay in the detached holiday home in Appelscha! The cozy wood stove created a warm atmosphere, perfect for the cool evenings. The garden was a highlight, and we enjoyed our morning coffee while listening to the birds. We took our dog with us, and he loved exploring the nearby forest trails. The location is fantastic, with easy access to Drents-Friese Wold National Park for hiking and biking. I really recommend this place for anyone looking to relax in nature!

The place was spacious enough for 5 of us, and we loved the quiet environment. Enjoyed breakfast outside in the garden every morning. Just for your information, WiFi was occasionally a bit slow, but honestly, it was nice to disconnect for a while. Would definitely come back!

The location of this holiday home was fantastic, situated right on the edge of the forest. It was peaceful and secluded, yet close enough to the village for easy access to shops and restaurants. The house was well-equipped, albeit a bit rustic, which added to the charm. Perfect for nature lovers who want to relax!

The accommodation is visually cozy, but very outdated, and the entrance area smells musty. With the window open, only early risers can sleep, as the rooster in the neighboring garden crows at sunrise. You can also hear the bypass road, depending on the wind, more or less rustling. The mention of a lake view in the description is misleading - the lake is 4 km away. For the price (almost 1000.- for 2 people/7 nights), I would have expected a much better-maintained house, but I was glad that we found accommodation at such short notice. The support was friendly.

What a cute place! We felt super welcome and the hosts were really nice. The house was well equipped with a cozy kitchen and the pantry had all the important things. Perfect for exploring the Frisian forests or just relaxing. I can't recommend it enough!

No clean little house despite very high service costs. No sun on neglected terrace and bench. Dated. Good beds. Sufficient lighting. Radiators warmed up quickly.

The accommodation is visually cozy, but very outdated; the entrance area smells musty. With the window open, only early risers can sleep, as the rooster in the neighboring garden crows at sunrise. You can also hear the bypass road, depending on how the wind blows, more or less rustling. That there is a lake view mentioned in the description is a joke - the lake is 4 km away. For the price (just under 1000. - For 2P/7 nights) I would have expected a significantly better-maintained house, but I was glad that we found accommodation at very short notice. The support was friendly.

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.
