Ingrid from Utrecht,
Overcompleet vakantiehuis, met op warme dagen verkoeling in het zwembad en op koude dagen een heerlijke kachel en zelfs vloerverwarming. Een prachtige omgeving voor wandelen en/of fietsen! Race, gravel of MTB, overal waar je gaat vind je paden! Op steenworp afstand van het sfeervolle dorpje Chatillon, waar je iedere ochtend heerlijk vers brood kan halen. Agnes en Gerard maken je goed wegwijs en gaven ons het gevoel dat we volledig ons eigen gang konden gaan. Heerlijk ontspannen tijd gehad (met onze baby van 8 maanden). Een aanrader!
Ingrid from Utrecht,
Het prachtige uitzicht niet vergeten!
van der from De Westereen,
Rose 1 is een heerlijke plek waar je tot rust kan komen. Rose 1 is van alle comfort voorzien en ook goed schoon. Zwembad erbij is ook goed. Het terrein is ligt net buiten het dorp en geeft daardoor extra rust. Prima vakantie hier gehad. een echte aanrader!
