Great location, lots of walks to do nearby and has an incredible view! The accommodation was clean and offered good amenities. The apartment does get cold, the heating is only on in morning and evening, but there was plenty of blankets and even a hot water bottle provided. I would personally bring them myself. After the first night we had adjusted to the cold and we werent bothered the rest of the trip. The only improvements would be, have extra stock of toilet rolls, as only half a roll was provided and salt and pepper wasnt topped up, thankfully took some with us. Only one sofa in lounge area, unlike pictures (there is two) this wasnt an isue for us. Overall it was a great base for exploring the lakes!

Das Cottage hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick und liegt in einer ruhigen Nachbarschaft. Wichtig zu erwähnen ist, das die Heizung über einen Timer geregelt ist und man deshalb die Heizzeit nicht nach Bedarf anpasen kann. Es gibt nur ein kleines Heizregister unterhalb der Küchenzeile, welches man frei steuern kann. Außerdem war es ärgerlich, das man sich selbst um Basics wie Mülltüten, Spülschwamm etc. Kümmern muste. Die Kommunikation mit der verantwortlichen Organisation war schlecht, keine Rückmeldungen trotz Absprachen.
