Jaap greeted us when we arrived and Lee introduced herself later. Both were completely lovely and made us feel entirely at home. Jaap pointed out all the cottage's amenities and offered to lend us any sports equipment we might like to use! The cottage was exactly as described and depicted, though actually it is larger and more spacious in person than it appears in the photographs. Oh, and despite temperatures close to 0 degrees Celsius overnight it was always pleasant and warm inside. We loved our stay at the cottage - it was the very definition of a peaceful retreat.
