Short weekend break

I booked this property for a chilled weekend with two friends. It was exactly what we needed. The property size is surprisingly bigger than expected which was great as the english weather didn't allow for a bbq. David is a great host 👏 thanks for the stay

a good place to relax for both couples and families. The building is located away from the street and surrounded by trees so it is invisible. There is a large square of greenery outside the building and on both sides. Peace and quiet. Inside the house, everything works, there is a large TV and well-functioning heating. A small house with lots of space. The owner is happy to help. Large parking space and property with a coded gate. I recommend
