There was plenty of space and beds with new linen as well as plenty of towels and kitchen utensils. The outdoor area was beautiful and very private and the pool a big hit. Furthermore, there were well-functioning bikes and table-tennis equipment. The only downside was that the wifi connection wasn't really working - or only partially, but that was a minor thing. All in all, we have enjoyed our stay very much and can only recommend this beautiful country house. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1b3fc823-277f-447b-bb0d-c7dc6f587c83-1754406553815.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f6506f89-a91e-476d-bb63-1baab0275007-1754406560412.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3724a73a-fe5b-4b04-9eba-1a4581168962-1754406567369.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7acd52fe-5bd3-4f02-aae6-da8e5a88d376-1754406575794.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher H.
