Superior craftsmanship & materials combined with good taste. Everything works as it should. Excellent. The only problem is beyond your control. The parked cars in the road by the parking area make getting in and out dangerous by obscuring the view in both directions. We found this difficult.

Das Cottage ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Hervorzuheben wäre die sehr gute Lage für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen. Und nicht zu vergessen der sehr empfehlenswerte Pub genau gegenüber. Wir hatten unsere eigenen Räder dabei, die wir sehr viel benutzt haben. Aufgrund der Topographie sind E-Bikes von Vorteil.
