Dennoch sind Tagesausflüge z.B. ans Ijselmeer, die Nordsee oder Leuuwarden gut und schnell machbar. Am See und der Landschaft drumherum kann man sich nicht satt sehen. Für Wassersportler jeder Art ist etwas dabei. Wir waren viel mit unseren SUPs unterwegs. Das Ferienhaus war gemütlich und schön eingerichtet, so dass man auch einen Regentag gerne einmal drinnen verbringen konnte. Die Ausstattung war super, uns ist nichts aufgefallen, was fehlen würde. Sauber war alles ohnehin. Schön ist zudem, wie Hunde-freundlich die ganze Anlage ist. Alles war super organisiert und ist nur zu empfehlen. ##### Felix H.
