Cosy cabin
This simple, cosy cabin was great for a family holiday with 4 generations. The ramp, grab rails in the bathroom and one level living helped the elderly and the cot, high chair and laundry room worked for the baby. The cabin was clean, warm, welcoming and functional. We enjoyed the sunny deck and the daffodils.

Klein aber fein
Sehr gemütliches Cottage im Grünen mit großer Terrasse. Man hat alles, was man braucht. Besonders freundlich war auch der Kontakt zum Vermieter, der uns zahlreiche Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurantempfehlungen gegeben hat

We had a good time
Das Anwesen ist sehr ruhig gelegen (genau das Richtige für gestresste Großstädter), aber mit dem Auto ist binnen 10 Minuten alles erforderliche (u.a. großer Tesco) erreichbar. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter, mit denen man gerne auch mal außer der Reihe plaudert. Betten, Einrichtung und Ausstattung sind OK.
