Ein traumhafter Urlaub auf dem Cosy HouseboatWir haben 1½ wunderbare Wochen auf dem Cosy Houseboat verbracht – gemeinsam mit unserer 14-jährigen Tochter und unserem Hund. Das Hausboot war makellos sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt braucht.Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern verlief reibungslos und freundlich – bei Fragen bekamen wir schnell Hilfe. Besonders begeistert waren wir vom Stand-Up-Paddeln und den Fahrradtouren in der Umgebung. Auch unser Hund hatte seinen Spaß: Im Garten und im Wasser konnte er sich richtig austoben.Amsterdam und Utrecht sind mit dem Auto schnell erreichbar und bieten tolle Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Für uns steht fest: Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder
