Liebevoller Kurztrip

Chris hat uns sehr warmherzig empfangen (es brannte sogar ein Feuer im Kamin) und uns das Haus gezeigt. Alle Räume waren sehr liebevoll und stilecht eingerichtet. Es fehlte uns an nichts. Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub mit der Familie und unseren Freunden.

Echt Engels

We hebben ontzettend genoten. Fijn huis met alles erop en aan. Wel hier en daar kleine mankementen. We hebben genoten van de heerlijke tuin en omgeving.
