10/10 Excellent
"Our highlight was definitely the owner Sarah. Her helpful, friendly and very capable approach made the stay very enjoyable! The room was comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. The property is located in a beautiful area and feels very safe and secure.The breakfast was absolutely delicious and served in a lovely diningroom. Tip of the day: if you visit in summer bring a swimsuit! The pool looked so inviting, and we wished we had! Thank you for your fabulous hospitality and care! Anita, Daniel & Marge"
