Not only is Marianne very welcoming and kind - she also has a fantastic houseboat. We just got back from a few days at her houseboat and I can say that it looks even better than the pictures. It's well decorated, has an open space, a fantastic kitchen and a very nice bathroom. The fact that you can wake up and be on the water is really something you cannot put a price on - so if you're in the mood to relax completely, this is the place to be. Marianne left us a little care package which was a really nice surprise. We took our bikes a long and got familiar with the local area. You can expect to a 15 minute bike ride from nice places to eat and explore. The local supermarket is however closer which is convenient. I can highly recommend staying here and wouldn't be surprised if I do :)
