Available during power failures: Two-plate non-electric stove with bio-gel and kettle, battery-operated lights and ample candles and matches for a romantic evening.

For a "Bed and Breakfast" option (the result of pecky guests peeking into the hospita's kitchen, pinching pumpkin fritters and gooseberries), enjoy our Blikbord Breakfast: a random selection of whatever the hospita gathered. We do not do "thin". Do give us a 24-hours notice - we have to knead, boil, kill, pot, squeeze...
