Rustige plek voor een fietsovernachting.
Pros:

Locatie is top. Keurige ontvangst, complete kamer.
Mooie stalling voor e bikes.

Cons:

De bedden zijn gedateerd, kraken bij omdraaien en zijn voor ons te zacht.
Er mist sfeerverlichting, het is veel licht, of geen licht.

Pros:

Great location for nature reserve.
Good facilities in the hotel and electric car charging was great. Excellent breakfast!

Cons:

The room was good but basic. Only two electric plugs. No aircon. Fine for us but I can imagine hot rooms in the summer
