Lovely cottage, much more spacious than it appears in the pictures. we stayed with our 2 children and dog who really appreciated the outside space. Host was helpful and quick to any queries. We would definitely stay again!!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und hübsch eingerichtet. Im Haus ist ( bis auf einen Fön) alles, was man braucht. Man teilt sich das große Grundstück mit - je nach Ausbuchung - mit gegebenenfalls drei anderen Parteien. Das Gelände draußen ist sehr kinderfreundlich mit Schaukel und Rutsche und groß genug zum ungestörten Fußball spielen. Es wäre sogar noch genügend Platz für ein Planschbecken. Gefehlt haben uns ein paar Gartenliegen. Dann wäre es perfekt.
