    alles hier was TOP! Jacob staat ook steeds klaar om te helpen met eender wat. Ruime mooie kamers. Fantastisch interieur in alle ruimtes. Ontbijt met liefde gemaakt. Een oase van rust. Het lijkt wel of je op bezoek bent bij iemand die je kent...

    Hele sfeervolle plek, waar je je meteen thuis voelt. De gastheer ontvangt je heel hartelijk en is altijd te benaderen als je wat wilt weten. Ook de gezamenlijke ruimtes zijn gezellig en nodigen uit tot leuke en bijzondere ontmoetingen.
