Questions
Is breakfast really included?
Always, in every rate. If you skip it we will not charge less, but we will pack you a sandwich.
Can we book the whole house?
Yes, all four rooms for up to nine people, from two nights. Ask us for the group rate.
Do you take bookings for one night?
Sunday to Thursday, yes. Weekends are two nights minimum from April to October.
What if we need to cancel?
Free until seven days before arrival. After that we charge the first night, unless we can rebook the room.
Is it quiet?
The canal is quiet after ten. The church bells ring at eight in the morning, which is breakfast time anyway.
Write to us
Ask us anything.
Dates, a birthday surprise, a dog that is definitely not a pet. One of us answers within the hour, every day from 08:00 to 22:00.
