You get at little confused driving up the small bumpy road to the house not knowing really what to expect.
But then this very nice house appears, surrounded with fields of sunflowers, wheat, and corn.
Very nice house, clean, well equipped, and large rooms, and areas.
Host was very easy to be in contact with and very service minded and helpful.

Nous avons été ravis de vous recevoir dans notre gîte et espérons sincèrement vous revoir dans notre région très prochainement. Un grand merci pour votre appréciation.
We were delighted to welcome you to our cottage and sincerely hope to see you again in our region very soon. Many thanks for your appreciation
Ruim verblijf. De airco was zeer welkom met de temperaturen die we hadden tijdens ons verblijf. Alleen jammer dat het zwembad op 400 van het verblijf ligt en niet de hele tijd toegankelijk is.
