Bra overnatting.MEN, nabohunden gjødde masse i løpet av de to nettene jeg var der. Ellers ok mat på restauranten Hyggelige innehavere. Så ligge overnattingen/leiligheten et lite stykke fra restauranten. Men det står Windy Place på nettsidene deres …Så da får man inntrykk av at alt ligge i samme bygg…
