Stay connected with Starlink WiFi throughout the property, making it easy to share your experiences or plan your adventures. And for stargazers, our location offers incredible night sky views, free from light pollution—perfect for an evening of celestial wonder!

The dining area comfortably seats six guests and boasts a marble wine holder that beautifully displays up to 29 bottles while adding a captivating touch to your dining experience. The kitchen family area is fully equipped with all-new appliances, including a five-burner gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, large fridge-freezer, coffee machine, and microwave. For outdoor dining, we offer an inviting kitchen space, ideal for enjoying meals on hot days or cooler nights.
Each bed is dressed with cozy feather-down duvets, and we provide plush towels and towelling robes for your comfort.

Leuk! Heerlijk koel en prachtig.
Meteen toen we aankwamen, veel later dan gepland (23.00), want de huurauto had het begeven, werden we bijzonder hartelijk welkom geheten door Shirley en Mark. Mark had zelfs nog aangeboden ons te komen halen! Omdat we geen boodschappen hadden kunnen halen, kregen we voor de volgende ochtend we een heerlijk Engels ontbijt.
De grotwoning was heel mooi. Overal was aan gedacht: heerlijke bedden, goed ingerichte keuken, dikke handdoeken, badjassen, Nespresso apparaat met cups en leuke dingen om mee te spelen in het zwembad. De woning had hele lekkere douches en was heel schoon. Alles was heel goed onderhouden. Af en toe een vliegje, maar je zit tenslotte op het platteland. Het zwembad lag heel mooi, was schoon en groot. De beleving was uniek vanwege de grotwoning en het mooie uitzicht. We zouden het iedereen aanbevelen en hopen nog eens terug te komen.
