Für Naturfreunde
Leider waren es nur zwei Schlafzimmer, die zur Verfügung standen anstatt der angegebenen drei Schlafzimmer!
Die Wendeltreppe war sehr eng.
Die Zufahrt sehr steil und nur bei Trockenheit befahrbar.
Die Aussicht und der Garten waren aber ein Traum.

slechte Vakantie
De wegen tot aan het huis zijn bijna niet toegankelijk met een minibus van 9 personen. Levensgevaarlijk om steeds die zelfde weg terug naar beneden voor uitsappen en boodschappen en daarna terug omhoog. Het huis was te klein voor zes personen. er stond in de beschrijving 120 vierkante meter maar daar was een berging en de slaapkamers ook in meegerekend. dus als het slecht weer was moesten we met 6 in een plaatsje zitten die maar 20 vierkante meter was, waar we ook kookten en eten en TV keken.

Abgelegener umgebauter Stall
Keine Heizung, Feuerstelle deren Abzug nicht funkioniert. Gefährliche sehr schmale Zufahrt (nur eine Autobreite) ohne Ausweichmöglichkeiten und genügend Steinschlag Sicherungen. Ca 20 Min weg von den Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Wurde in einem ungenügend gereinigten Zustand übergeben. Schlafzimmer und Better sind gross haben aber leider sehr viel Ungeziefer . Garten bietet reichlich Auslauf für Hunde das ist das einzige plus. Wir sind nach 1 Tag wieder abgereist.
