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.
