Außer uns waren dort nur Schafe, Kühe und die Stille. Das war sehr schön! Im Haus war es sehr sauber und die Küche war ausreichend gut ausgestattet. In den anderen Räumen, wie Schlaf - und Wohnzimmer fehlte es uns an Abstellflächen, ein kleines Tischchen oder Schränkchen. In den Schlafzimmerern fehlte uns ein normaler Kleiderschrank. ##### Michelle W.

Ruhig und malerisch gelegen mit sehr freundlichen Gastgebern die uns mit frischen Eiern, hausgemachter Butter und selbst gebackenem Ginger-Bread zur Begrüßung überrascht haben. Direkt am Haus waren Schafe und Rinder auf idyllischen Weide. Die Lage ist wirklich einzigartig und das Häuschen seit Generationen im Familienbesitz.
