A stone's throw from Damme, the perfect base for a bike ride to the coast, Bruges or for a relaxing walk along one of the breathtaking hiking trails. The authentic farms have a view of the golf of Damme in a green oasis of tranquility. Large stove and large table for 16 people. 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 toilets.

La maison a 8 chambres avec 2 lits boxspring 90 sur 200 cm par lit boxspring. En Total 16 lits boxsprings . Alors pour 16 personnes. En plus on a un alcove pour dormir pour deux personnes les matelas dans l alcove ont 80 sur 200 cm . Le sofa lit n est pas compter comme chambre alors . Mais vous avez demander de faire le sofa lit car votre papa de 86 pourrait pas monter les escaliers ou sont les chambres . Dommage que vous avez pas mentionnee que votre papa pourait faire les escaliers. Cordialment Charlotte

Schöner Urlaub mit 5 Familien

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit auf dem geschmackvoll umgebauten Bauernhof. Die Küchen sind gut ausgestattet und die Räume schön restauriert. Der Garten ist groß genug zum grillen und für diverse Spiele. Fussball, Batminton etc. Zur Küste und nach Brügge ist es mit dem Auto auch nicht weit. Die Vermieterin war sehr zuvorkommend und hat sich schnell um ein lästiges Wespennest gekümmert. Alles in allen sehr zu empfehlen.

Perfekt für Familien mit Kindern

Das Anwesen ist sehr individuell und hat dadurch großen Charme. Wir hatten perfektes Wetter, haben jeden Abend im Garten gegrillt, während die Kinder (10 - 16 Jahre) noch Fußball, Volleyball oder Federball gespielt haben. Der Garten ist top gepflegt und so groß wie ein Fußballfeld. - Das Haus ist unbeschreiblich: altmodisch und top modern zugleich. Originalbalken aus dem Jahre annodazumal hängen auf der ersten Etage für Menschen mit 1.90 m Körpergröße auf Stirnhöhe. Wir dachten, das wird echt eine Herausforderung, aber alles gut! Man passt sich an und passt entsprechend auf. Auch das macht das Haus einzigartig! Und ist im übrigen genauso top gepflegt wie der Garten. Vielen Dank an der Stelle an die Vermieterin Frau Vanhoenacker!
