A wonderful and charming house in the country but at the same time in the city. With everything you need for a family holiday, including billiards and darts. The charming and very attentive owners welcome you with all kinds of explanations and everything you need for breakfast. Two charming rooms, central heating throughout the house. Also toys for children and family. In short, we will return if possible one day.Price-quality ratio, perfect.
