Gemütliches Haus. Wunderschöne, völlig abgeschiedene Umgebung - soweit das Auge reicht menschenleer und grün. Kein Handyempfang oder Festnetz, deshalb war uns etwas mulmig, aber solange es keinen Notfall gibt ist es herrlich. Zuviel Teppich, für ein (dog friendly) Ferienhaus und für meinen Geschmack. Trotzdem - ich würde es kaufen, wenn ich im Lotto gewinnen würde :-)

We spent two nights here. We were warm and comfortable. Very beautiful surroundings. What spoiled our stay was the presence of MICE around the house! Watch YouTube Ray Comfort 10 out of 10
