Lovely stay at House Martin

8.0

Lovely stay at House Martin. Friendly hosts who made us feel welcome. Lovely meal provided. De Rust is worth the visit. The accommodation was a pleasant surprise in this small town.

Unfortunately a strong detergent smell when we arrived. Airing the room the smell went after a few hours. Other than that it was lovely accommodation.

Good one night stay in De Rust

8.0

We received a warm welcome on arrival. The room was spacious as was the bathroom. Nice hot shower. Breakfast was good and dinner was superb. We enjoyed sundowners on the old "stoep"of the manor house. Good location for sightseeing offered by the town. Can definitely recommend House Martin.

Bathroom needs some updating.
