Absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant. This is our second stay at Bob’s Bach and we have just booked our third! My husband, myself and our two children love it here. The fully fenced deck, although narrow, allows for plently of space for our littlies to race up and down and means we don’t have to worry about their safety (2yrs & 5yrs). The queen bed could do with replacing for comfort sake but everything else is spot on. The location and view is absolutely stunning. We will be back!
