This lovingly furnished, bright holiday rental on the ground floor of a converted fieldstone barn (built in 1807) combines rustic charm with modern furnishings and comfort. The 40-square-meter living space, featuring a charming bedroom (with a 180-cm-wide bed), a bright shower room with natural light, and a cosy kitchen-diner, invites you to relax and feel at home. The modern built-in kitchen features an oven, a dishwasher, and everything you need for cooking. You can make yourself comfortable on the cosy sofa in front of the wood-burning stove. Or in front of the TV, which has a satellite connection and is also connected to the internet. From the kitchen-living room, you step directly onto your own 20-square-meter terrace (south-facing), which is equipped with a large umbrella and patio furniture. From the terrace, a staircase leads directly to a large lawn, where there is a wooden playhouse for children and a large, covered barbecue/fire pit. Children are also allowed to camp in the garden in front of the terrace.
The standard occupancy for this apartment is two people. The sofa in the kitchen-living room can be converted into a full-size bed (140 cm wide with a slatted frame and cold-foam mattress), making it possible to accommodate up to four people overnight. Alternatively, if available, you can also rent one or both of the other two holiday apartments (Apartments 2 and 3) right next door. You can rent the 38-square-meter common room—which also features a modern built-in kitchen and a wood-burning stove—directly from the landlord.
Dogs are allowed in this apartment.
