the (quirky) elbow

We had a few very enjoyable days in The Elbow, a most interesting property in Dorset, in a good area for walks and not too far away from some excellent pubs. The cottage was well kitted out and comfortable. An easy set-up guide for controlling the heating would have been welcome, but otherwise a perfect stay.

The Elbow ist eine wirklich bezaubernde Unterkunft die alles bietet was man benötigt. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts. Die Vermieter die nebenan wohnen haben sich sehr im Hintergrund gehalten. Bei ein paar zufälligen Gesprächen draußen auf dem Parkplatz stellte sich aber schnell heraus dass sie sehr freundlich sind und viele nützliche und schöne Tipps für Ausflüge in der Umgebung machen konnten.Die Lage der Unterkunft ist für Ausflüge in Richtung Küste und auch alle anderen Richtungen sehr zentral gelegen.Wir werden sehr gerne wiederkommen und können die Ferienwohnung absolut empfehlen.
