Nice overall. 3 bedroom and has all amenities. Was here long term for 2 months. Had a very pleasant stay. Would of liked a little more comfortable mattress for long term stay. Perfect for a vacation rental. Area is very nice and not to far from town. Would stay there again if i came back. Lots of owls in the evenings which was very cool. Every day they show up, so it was neat yo see.

Lovely location great for families
Overall good but could be improved. Cobwebs throughout house. Dryer did not work. Not having any towels provided is unusual and inconvenient for overseas travellers.

Lovely property.
Lovely property however lacked a few convinces. No teaspoons and no toaster, the fan in the bathroom doesnt work and the lightbulb was out. We fixed the light bulb. Host was very accommodating with towels as we all were traveling from overseas. I would for sure rent this property again.

Fab stay in Grou
We had an amazing two weeks in Grou. The town itself is beautiful. We loved getting the ferry over into the town for drinks or an ice cream. The house was a good base and had most things we needed. As others have said, there are no towels (bath and tea) provided and some essentials lacking (e.g. only a couple of teaspoons). The upstairs bedrooms got very warm due to the amazing weather we had so fans were needed. The garden was lovely to enjoy in the evening and our children enjoyed the pool at the campsite over the road (the pool is only 70cm deep so is more of a paddling pool for the children). Overall, we had a great stay and look forward to staying again.

Lovely setting in Grou
We were visiting from America and found this place online. It fir our needs perfectly. Lovely place, beautiful setting, near restaurants and many things to site-see. The only draw back was not having towels. Thankfully, we were able to get some from family. The kitchen is well equipped and being able to use the washer and dryer was nice since we packed light and had a couple more weeks in Europe. The owners were very easy to communicate with. I recommend this stay if you are able to bring along towels with you

Property is very handy for exploring the northern part of Holland (Friesland) with the town of Grou just a short ride on a bicycle or ferry. Compact and ideal for a short family break. Only thing missing was a barbecue so we could take advantage of the excellent weather we had and maybe the cleaners could look up and dust away some of the cobwebs in the ceiling!
