Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Das Haus ist gemütlich eingerichtet und super ausgestattet: wir haben jeden Abend für acht Personen gekocht und haben dafür in der Küche alles gefunden, was man nur brauchen könnte ( Handrührgerät, Auflaufformen, gute Pfannen, Töpfe, genug Geschirr etc). Waschmaschine ist auch vorhanden. Das Haus ist gut gelegen und es gibt viele schöne Ausflugsziele in der Umgebung. Der Kontskt mit den Vermietern war sehr nett. Alles bestens also -danke!!
