Hier fühlt man sich willkommen und zu Hause

Pros: Welch ein schöner und spannender Ort mit einer supersympathischen und freundlichen Gastgeberin! Es steckt so viel spürbare Geschichte in diesem Haus, das durch Cathys Erzählung erst richtig zum Leben erwacht. Das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen und auch das Zimmer hatte alles, was wir brauchen. Die Lage ist perfekt - es gibt genug Platz auf dem Grundstück, um Fahrzeuge sicher zu parken und man ist in wenigen Gehminuten in der Stadt, wo es viele Einkehrmöglichkeiten gibt. Cons: Die Zimmer sind untereinander ziemlich hellhörig, was das Paar neben uns nicht gestört zu haben scheint. 😉

Super fantastic wow!

Pros: Very welcoming, fantastic setting. Would go back again for a longer visit. The garden room had a great patio area that would be good for a morning coffee before starting the day. Cathy is a gem, swept us off our feet from when we arrived. Very attentive. Cons: Difficult question, I thought the room was going to be to big for the heating available, it wasn't so i was wrong. So I don't like being wrong.
