- GerdBelgium“De mooie locatie en de rust. Ook heel fijn dat we heel de boot voor ons gezelschap alleen hadden. Leuk (dak)terras, met mooi zicht op de omgeving. Ontbij was uitgebreid en lekker, perfect om een stevige dagwandeling of dagfietstocht mee te...”
- GGreetBelgium“De prachtige locatie. Het was fijn dat we ons eigen bootje hadden, op wandelafstand van de grote boot. De grote tuin was ook top. Wakker worden door de haan vond ik zelf leuk.”
