"Idee om in de beschrijving iets duidelijker te maken om welke boot het gaat (cf verwarring De Boot - Droge Paulette)."
"Lieu atypique et logement atypique.. nous avions un enfant de 4 ans lieu super. Celui ci c est très bien plu. Des jeux à disposition coin très tranquille. Au bord de l eau avec beaucoup options loisirs vélos barques kayaks etc...prévoir juste de quoi manger et boissons car pas de commerces à proximité... mais quel lieu agréable. Barbecue à disposition prévoir charbon de bois etc... Le calme la soirée pratiquement pas de voitures juste tracteurs suivant le travaille des agriculteurs et périodes. Sinon petite route surtout vélos et promeneurs. Très joli coin. Si vous désirez le calme et la tranquillité. Conseillé. Franchement à refaire rapidement... encore merci pour le très chouette accueille."

"De omgeving en de aangename verwelkoming. Voor iemand die houd van de mooie omgeving en de rust en de stilte zeker een aanrader. Ook voor kinderen is het een plaats waar ze zich kunnen uitleven en ravotten."
"Alles was naar wens"
"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 starten."
"Boot was een beetje rommelig, maar op zich stoorde het eigenlijk niet. Draagt bij tot de sfeer :-)."

"The house very nice and located in a very good position. It was very comfortable and it had everything what you only could ask for. I wanted also thank the owners for navigating us around the house. They are very friendly and nice people and I recommend it very highly to anyone who would like to stay there 😀"
Mateusz Gîte les Mineurs
"We had the large bedroom at the front of the property which was very spacious and well appointed. Delicious breakfast with all fresh produce and many homemade by the owner. Fab, quiet location just outside town which has many places to eat in. Owner is very attentive and even moved his car so we could park a large van. Highly recommend to all and if we are ever back in the area would will be staying again. Claire x"
