Reviews
Familie Oechies from Haren gn,
Fijn ruim huis met veel privacy. Het zwembad is heerlijk om af te koelen, na een dag op stap te zijn geweest. Het is lekker dat het zwembad zout water heeft en er geen chloor in zit. De Cognac streek is een prachtige omgeving. De talloze wijngaarden, het glooiende landschap. Schitterend! Met een uur rijden ben je aan de kust. Er zijn kastelen te bezoeken. Je kunt een toer doen en zien hoe de cognac wordt gemaakt. Genoeg te doen in de omgeving. Supermarkten genoeg in de buurt. Ian en Val zijn enorm gastvrij en hartelijk en doen er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken. Wij kregen een heerlijk potje eigengemaakte vijgenjam. De Cognac streek heeft ons positief verrast!
