Guests Barn Cottage

30-12 '25 We were able to completely unwind in the cottage overlooking the beautiful grounds, which are designed for horses and outdoor living, creating a lovely atmosphere, even if you're not into horses. Alexandra took ample time to show us around the grounds and introduce us to the horses. It's very inspiring how she has built all this up with het husband. In terms of the surroundings, we enjoyed the Cartierheide, which ww could easliy cycle to. We also enjoyed the mountain bike track that runs very close to the cottage.<br>We were warmly welcomed by Alexandra and were able to completely unwind at Poppy Cottage. It is beautifully decorated with natural materials and vintage elements, all of hihg quality. The cottage is very comfortable and fully equipped. Even with a baby in winter, it was nice and warm in the cottage. Alexandra was very helpful when we needed things like extra coffee capsules. For breakfast, we ordered the Pampering basket with yoghurt delicacies and croissants. We cooked dinner twice in the cottage because it was so peaceful and all the necessary equipment was available. On our last evening, we visited het wilde zwijn restaurant, which has a surprisingly fairytale-like inn atmosphere and serves delicious dishes.
