Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen. Alles war sauber, und die zwei Badezimmer waren für uns äußerst praktisch. Die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet, was wir zum Kochen brauchten. Die Nähe zu den friesischen Seen war ebenfalls großartig! Perfekt zum Segeln und Erkunden. Einzig mehr Restaurants in der Nähe hätten wir uns gewünscht, aber McDonald's ist nicht weit entfernt, falls man schnell etwas essen möchte.

We hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf hier. Alles was schoon en de twee badkamers waren superhandig voor ons. De keuken had alles wat we nodig hadden om maaltijden te bereiden. Ook de nabijheid van de Friese Meren was geweldig! Perfect om te zeilen en te verkennen. Het enige is dat we graag meer eetgelegenheden in de buurt zouden hebben, maar McDonald's is niet ver weg als je snel een maaltijd nodig hebt.
