Erholsamer Urlaub
Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, die Handtücher wurden mehrmals in einer Woche gewechselt und das Haus gereinigt. Die Betreuung durch den Gastgeber war einwandfrei, er war sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und sehr gut erreichbar. Wir hatten einen erholsamen Urlaub und werden wieder buchen.
