Anja en Hessel from Apeldoorn,
Buitengewoon aangename ervaring bij gastvrije Margot en Reint. Zeer ruime en schone gite, prachtig gelegen, volop wandelmogelijkheden direct vanaf de gite en verwijzing naar culturele voorzieningen in de buurt. Ook bijzonder genoten van de maaltijden met de andere gasten. Een echte aanrader!
Tonny en Niek from Den Haag,
