We have a nice time with the family. So many ways in the nature to walk with our dog. Near the beach. The beach was very clean. Only the weather was very changeable.

Lovely despite the weather

The cottage is cozy, comfortable and functional. We weren't expecting to have to spend as much time inside, but we had a wonderful time. The owners brought us candles since the wind was too intense to have a fire in the fireplace, and there were plenty of pots, pans, dishes and glasses for us to cook up a feast. We felt at home. So much so that we plan on coming back during the summer, so that we can enjoy the barbecue and all the outdoor furniture and games available. It is the perfect place if you're looking for hiking and bicycle trails that will bring you to the dunes, the beach and lovely woods and farms.

Schönes Häuschen für Eltern mit großen und kleinen Kindern

Das Häuschen haben wir in einem sauberen und ordentlichen Zustand vorgefunden 👍. Alles was man als Selbstversorger braucht, ist da. Wir wurden von der Vermieterin sehr nett und freundlich empfangen. Wir sind mit 2 Pärchen plus Kind plus Hund gefahren. Mein Mann und ich haben oben geschlafen. Der Auf und Abstieg ist ein Erlebnis 😄 wenn's geht nüchtern bleiben 😉. Auch sollte man als große Person auf den Kopf aufpassen...das rummst ordentlich 🙈. Was wir sehr vermisst haben, ist Stauraum. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und ein Kind. Oben gab es gar keinen Stauraum und unten nur einen kleinen Schrank und eine kleine Kommode. Wir oben haben also alles im Koffer gelassen. Der Tisch in der Küche ist ziemlich klein für so viele Leute. Wir mussten unseren kleinen Klapptisch dazu stellen, damit wir Platz für den Aufschnitt hatten. Wir waren mit unserem Hund da. Der musste an der Schleppleine bleiben, da das Grundstück nicht geschlossen ist und der Nachbarshund auch gerne Mal vorbei schaute. Das Grundstück an sich bräuchte mehr Pflege. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön und lädt zum spazieren gehen ein. Den Weg zum Strand sind wir nur mit dem Auto gefahren. Der Weg ist zu weit, um alles dorthin zu schleppen. Die Strände sind toll 👍. Grade auch der Hundestrand ist sehr tief und breit. Und super sauber. Vor allem hat man dort auch viel Platz, da dort wegen der Hunde kaum einer liegen möchte.

Ein einziger Horror

Furchtbar! Ein Alptraum! Wir sind sofort wieder nach Hause gefahren. Es war furchtbar, kein Urlaub möglich!!! Durchgelegene Matratzen in den Betten, ein Garten für Hunde ohne Zaun zur Straße! Ein Esstisch, an dem sich Menschen über 1.70m nicht bequem hinsetzen konnten. Es gab keine Garderobe, um Jacken aufzuhängen. Alles in allem: Horror - eine Ansammlung von Sperrmüll!!! Nie wieder!!!

Mit 2 Hunden habe ich eine wunderschöne Woche in diesem bezaubernden Häuschen verbracht. Liebevoll und herzlich wurden wir von der Vermieterin begrüßt und auch während des Aufenthaltes unterstützt. Sowohl Wander-, Park- und Einkaufstipps, als auch mal Zeit für einen Schwatz hatte sie für uns. Im Haus, besonders in der Küche, war alles vorhanden, was man so zwischendurch braucht. Ich werde Haus und Vermieterin mit Freude meinen Freunden weiterempfehlen.

Il y règne un calme absolu. Maison bien équipée! Il ne manquait rien! Assez spacieux pour 4 adultes et deux enfants. On se sentait comme à la maison.
