(Original) Heerlijk weekend gehad met de familie bij Bertha en Bart-Jan. Fijne, sfeervolle tent met een prachtig uitzicht. Gezellig meekijken bij het melken met de boer en genieten van de heerlijke zelfgemaakte jam van de boerin. Ondanks het slechte weer toch goed kunnen genieten. Echt een aanrader en erg kindvriendelijk.
