Huis heeft veel onderhoud nodig scharnieren deuren etc. Onze ergernis was de Douche . een Douchebak waar je in moet zitten. bijna je nek in breekt. de doucheslang zit aan verkeerde muur waardoor je de hele badkamer nat maakt. Dit is echt jammer want de badkamer ziet er prachtig uit. ik zou zeggen een douchewand plaatsen en douchekop op andere muur zetten. we hebben wel genoten. het was een hele week met 29 graden dus alleen maar buiten gezeten.

die Gastgeber sind wirklich sehr daran interessiert dass sie die Gäste sich wohlfühlen und es an nichts fehlt. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist gut, es ist ruhig, man ist schnell mit der Fellnase im grünen und im umzäunten Garten fühlen sich die Vierbeiner genauso wohl wie Herrchen und Frauchen. Anreise und Abreise total entspannt, da alles kontaktlos funktioniert.
