Not the best host.....
Pros:

Location of the property was amazing, the patio view was exceptional.

Cons:

The host is extremely rude. He attempted to make contact with me while I was on a 7 hour drive to the location, due to me not being able to answer my phone as I was driving, he advised me on arrival that the properly is closed and not accepting guests at 6pm.

He then claimed that it was a "joke" and opened the gates. Once inside he then advised me that he had been trying to call me non stop since 2pm however our arrival time was noted on the booking.com site.

Once leaving, we messaged the host to ask if he could get the keys and he then sent us a snooty message back stating that there is a key drop box (was not explained the night before) and the box is bidding behind a large tree.

I would NEVER recommend this place due to the host alone.

FYI, don't be fooled by the images, the property itself is extremely tiny, only the patio is large.

Pros:

De host heeft ons zeer vriendelijk ontvangen en ons wegwijs gemaakt. Bovendien gaf hij desgevraagd leuke tips om uit eten te gaan in de buurt. De accommodatie heeft leuk uitzicht op de boerderij aan de overkant. We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad.
