Suzanne Brink from Utrecht,
Heel fijn huis. De slaapkamer bleef redelijk koel ondanks vijfendertig graden. En dan is er altijd nog een ventilator want dit huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. Het allerbest is natuurlijk het dakterras. Allerlei soorten wolkenluchten kwamen daar in razend tempo overdrijven. Zicht op vervallen kasteel is ook fraai. Uitstekend adres om tot rust te komen. Huiseigenaren discreet en altijd met een open oor voor verbeteringen. Voor vertier moet je even autorijden of fiets meenemen en bergen bedwingen om bijvoorbeeld lunchen in wat dichterbij gelegen plaatsjes.
