Cozy Cottage

The venue was very convenient and in a beautiful city

Lovely welcome from "Tony" who was full of helpful information. Peaceful location but easy walk into the centre of town (approx 45mins). Much quicker if you use the provide bikes. Great breakfast, brought to your "cottage"

Perfect location, Anthony was very welcoming and helpful, perfect for walking the dogs, the house had everything we needed (breakfast was possible but we had a brunch date in the city, next time we'd love try it though since the reviews were superb...).

The shower is not really handy without a curtain or something to stop the water from running to the toilet - we managed it though:)

The customer service was excellent, and the kids were happy. Highly recommended.

Location and style. Great attention by the host

We came for our daughter's graduation at UCU, so the location was perfect. If we had more time, we would also use the bikes and rent a cayak nearby. The cottage is a decent size. It has a dishwasher, a washing machine, a well equipped kitchenette, basically everything you might need. We ordered breakfast, which was nice and plentyfull and the coffee was tasty. Anthony was very responsive and a pleasure to talk to. He made sure that we didn't lack anything. The connection to the airport was excellent, with every tram going to Utrecht Central Station.

The stairs to the loft might be challenging for some people.

Great place to stay near Utrecht. Hosts were super nice upon arrival even if we were a little earlier and the place is really nice. It was clean, with a private bathroom and a small kitchen. Not in the center of the city but it is easy to get there with bikes (we had our own but the house has some guests can use).

We enjoyed this little vakantiehuisje very much. We took advantage of the free bicycles provided and used them to go shopping and ride into the centrum of Utrecht (where we parked in the free underground fietsenstalling using the barcodes on the bicycles). We chose this property for its privacy, and also for its proximity to the boat rental place (we did rent a boat). Its proximity to the tram was great, but catching the bus from the centrum after 22h made us wish we had taken a taxi or ridden the bikes (note: we did not ride the bikes into the centrum at night because they were not fitted with lights, so maybe bring your own!). The little garden was lovely for sitting outside in the morning with our coffee and breakfast. The fridge was a good size, and the ice cube tray was appreciated. We used the washing machine (we coincidentally brought laundry soap with us, purchased for another vakantiehuis the week before - note that it is not provided, so do remember to bring your own) but did not use the dishwasher (we did not bring dishwashing soap and didn't think it made sense to buy it for a three-night stay). We used both the French Press and the coffee machine to make coffee. It was nice to have both. And it was very nice that there was a sugar bowl next to the three coffee filters provided (we weren't sure if this was coincidence or planned, but because there was a French Press, both my partner and I were able to make coffee (regular for him, decafé for myself). We were very happy that the host was able to provide a couple of extra towels when we checked in. The furniture was comfortable and functional. It is nicely decorated. We used the combi microwave oven; however, I did have to look up the instructions online because I was unfamiliar with the unit, as no booklet was provided. The unit was very gezellig and we enjoyed our stay very much. We will likely stay here again due to its great location and amenities. Note: bring slippers!

The vakantiehuisje was clean, but we would have used a vacuum ourselves if one had been tucked away in a cupboard, mostly to clear away the cobwebs. I understand that keeping spiders under control in a vakantiehuisje that is in the middle of a garden is very difficult, especially since the ceiling is very high and there are a LOT of corners due to the exposed support structures in the ceiling. On the plus side, spiderwebs catch other bugs, so no other insects will last very long after they fly in! The choice of flooring in the bathroom seemed curious to us (it is the same throughout the vakantiehuisje), as it was difficult to sweep up the water using the squeegee provided. We did our best, but ultimately used an extra towel to mop up the water after we had used the shower. It is a shame that previous guests stained the sofa and that those stains were unable to be removed. The sofa was very comfortable regardless!
