Lieke 9/10

Netherlands 🇳🇱

Comfortable stay close to ferry.

Pros: Very convenient because of its close proximity to the ferry. Easy street parking. Comfortable and very welcoming accommodation. Host answered questions quickly. Loved the bath - perfect for some much-needed rest and relaxation before or after taking the ferry. Convenience store and pubs / restaurants within walking distance.

Cons: Some minor things that need some attention such as the oven that was only partially working. There was also some beep sound to be heard downstairs every few minutes. Probably some smoke detector which battery was running low, but we couldn’t detect it. Bedding was mainly polyester, which we personally don’t really like (but we do understand it is easier to wash). Some booklet with information about the house (about heating, parking, etc) could be useful. But overall we (family with young kids) do strongly recommend!

Lovely little break. Cosy

Pros: Lovely location for a lovely cosy little break. Host very helpful with queries we had.

Cons: A couple of little minor things light bulbs and issue with cooker. But did not spoil our stay. The host was willing to attend re cooker but as we were only there for short break. It was not to much of problem.

Clean, cosy, comfortable , and in a great central location for local restaurants etc.

Pros: Really Clean , very comfortable and lots of character.
