May 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Check-in #### Sehr schönes aber abgelegenes Cottage Das Grundstück und die zwei Häuschen sind mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Alles sehr schön und gut ausgestattet. Sehr sauber. Jedoch sehr abgelegen und die Anfahrt doch etwas beschwerlich. Wir hätten uns gewünscht, dass wir einen Kontakt in der Nähe gehabt hätten, der uns auch etwas einweisen hätte können. Der Vermieter ist in Amerika. Er war zwar sehr bemüht uns bei Problemen zu helfen, aber ein persönlicher Kontakt wäre einfach sinnvoller gewesen. Für Gruppen und Familien sehr zu empfehlen. ##### Daniela H.
