Very quiet and peaceful (except on 21st June - Summer Solstice). Nice garden for a quiet glass.

Cosy cottage equipped with everything you need. Caretaker immediately reacted on our requests. the only shortcoming: the parking lot which was too narrow and made difficult manouvers necessary.

The cottage is beautiful, clean, comfortable and in a lovely location. We loved everything about it! The fire place, the decor, the kitchen had everything we needed and when we got there, there was a box of lovely goodies which felt really special. There’s even toys for the kids which made the place even more perfect. We will definitely come back!
