Het sanitair bev ... Het verblijf is zeer rustig gelegen, in een prachtige omgeving! Het sanitair bevindt zich apart van het verblijf en is basic, maar erg netjes. De boot zelf kan misschien hier en daar wat opknapwerk gebruiken, vooral met name het keukentje: servies en bestek is een allegaartje (en niet echt zuiver bij aankomst) en de toestellen zijn echt wel aan vervanging toe! Eigenaar zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hebben een zeer aangenaam en ontspannen verblijf gehad! ##### Els V. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel LIVVO Budha Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sal-Hotels-The-Budha-Beach-Hotel.h16222497.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bolster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-The-Bolster.h19243654.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles La Louvière](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Louviere-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-La-Louviere.h5485030.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sogno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sogno.h1207506.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Ghent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ghent-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Ghent.h39575574.Hotel-Information) > > [Dolce by Wyndham La Hulpe Brussels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brussels-Hotels-Dolce-By-Wyndham-La-Hulpe-Brussels.h1588367.Hotel-Information) > > [Three Corners Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Three-Corners-Downtown-Hotel.h78001985.Hotel-Information) > > [Spend the night in a private spa for couples with sauna hammam jaccuzi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mouscron-Hotels-Spend-The-Night-In-A-Private-Spa-For-Couples-With-Sauna-Hammam-Jaccuzi.h37027293.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Alize Mouscron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mouscron-Hotels-Hotel-Alize-Mouscron.h1497968.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Ieper Centrum Flanders Fields](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ypres-Hotels-Novotel-Ieper-Centrum-Flanders-Fields.h797274.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Gent Centrum Dampoort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ghent-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Gent-Centrum-Dampoort.h19471161.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Liege Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grace-Hollogne-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Liege-Airport.h1631420.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterton Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wakefield-Hotels-Waterton-Park-Hotel.h2415.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Chichester Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Travelodge-Chichester-Central.h4802049.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel De Vossemeren by Center Parcs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lommel-Hotels-Hotel-De-Vossemeren-By-Center-Parcs.h31727256.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Liège Centre Opéra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liege-Hotels-Ibis-Liege-Centre-Opera.h182002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sunparks Kempense Meren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mol-Hotels-Hotel-Sunparks-Kempense-Meren.h31827336.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Residences Dubai Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Barcelo-Residences-Dubai-Marina.h22561809.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [easyJet Crumlin (BFS) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/easyjet-from-belfast-intl-to-newcastle-intl/u2/bfs/ncl) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Goiânia (GYN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/gyn/london-to-goiania) > > [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mco/bhx/orlando-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Spata-Artemida (ATH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/ath/dublin-to-athens) > > [Flights from Boston (BOS) to Corballis (DUB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bos/dub/boston-to-dublin) ### Activities ### Packages > [Dubai Emirate Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Emirate.d1079.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
