Mega netter Aufenthalt!

Die Hosts waren super freundlich und offen. Sowohl Check-In als auch Check-Out haben super geklappt. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet mit Herd, Mikrowelle und einem Air-Fryer. In der Unterkunft hat man außerdem einen super Blick auf die Bahngleise, auf denen der berühmte Jacobite Steam Train entlangfährt für alle Interessierten.
