The holiday home features 2 bedrooms, a TV, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave, a washing machine, and 1 bathroom with a shower. Providing free private parking, this 3-star holiday home also features free WiFi.

Cute little cottage with all needed facilities. Parking space for 2 smaller cars available at the back entrance. As I was there in February and it was chilly, I loved the wood stove, which was really nice to warm up the house in the evening. Good Wifi and TV with many options. The vintage interiors give it a nice homely feel. For summer days the front garden has a seating area for outdoor dinners.
