Sehr freundliche Vermieterin - unkompliziert, was Hunde betrifft - nett eingerichtet, alles vorhanden, was man braucht - sehr schön eingewachsener Garten und Terrasse - 2 Parkmöglichkeiten - es ist ausgesprochen ruhig in der Feriensiedlung - Einkaufsmöglichkeit 24/7 in Glossweiler ( 2,5 km entfernt ) .
Das einzige was gefehlt hat war ein Dosenöffner und wegen der zu unserer Reisezeit herschenden Hitze ein Sonnenschirm oder Sonnensegel, sonst war alles tipitopi.
Super geeignt für Hunde,da das Grunstück eingezäunt ist. Auch schön ist, das man auf der Terrasse bei Regen sitzen kann. Die Treppe zu den Schlafzimmern ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wäre schön,wenn bei den letzten Stufen rechts u links ein Festhaltegriff wäre.Wir habrn 3schöne Tage dort verbracht. Zum Wandern hervorragend, und auch die Ruhe kommt dort nicht zu kurz.
Super Ausstattung und netter, unkomplizierter Kontakt. Haustierfreundlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Als kleinen Tip würde ich den Sonnenschutz verbessern, z.B. durch Sonnenschirm. Grill ist auch top. Gerne wieder. Die Umgebung hat viel zu bieten.
