The beds were the best weâve had in years. Eating at the bar wasnât very comfortable. Unfortunately, there was no washing machine (this hadnât been mentioned either), so we did miss having one. There werenât many glasses either. We mentioned this to the caretaker. She said she would sort it out. Although we were quite close to a main road, it didnât bother us much. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
