Sarah 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: We had a warm welcome. We enjoyed staying in a converted showman's caravan which is located in a quiet field. We particularly enjoyed the excellent shower and the privacy in a quiet spot. It's compact but not cramped.

Cons: Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough for us to sit outside and enjoy the barbecue area.

Pros: Friendly host. Super nice property with everything you need. It was so cool there that we wished to have stayed longer than one night.

An unusual and memorable experience living in a van!

Pros: This compact van-based home, perfect for a family of up to three, is located on its own fenced plot in the countryside, near the Belgium-Netherlands border. The van is beautifully restored and fully equipped for a comfortable stay. At 185 cm tall, I had no issues with space. There’s a nice place for a barbecue and outdoor dining. Reliable Wi-Fi connection.

Cons: For constructive feedback (not really negatives, just observations): The shower's placement opposite the bed (rather than turned 90 degrees toward the side wall) felt a bit unusual, but we managed by coordinating shower times with my family. A small Smart TV would be a nice addition.

Overall a wonderful experience, would stay again!

Pros: Absolutely beautiful little converted bus, surrounded by sheep! Such a lovely, cosy experience - but the bed was still bigger than you’d expect! The hosts were friendly and helpful, with a welcome tour and lots of useful information.

Cons: Although the sheep are lovely, expect a few noises (especially horns against the bus!), and a very remote location (avoid the dirt road nearby if you’re driving!)

Very clean, comfortable stay with family.

Pros: It has been a wonderful experience staying here. Very clean and had everything to make it comfortable stay. My kids especially enjoyed the trampoline , watching hens and rabbits and sheeps, looking how all green veggies and fruits were grown in the backyard. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves to stay within nature.
