Reviews
The host was really nasty towards us.
The road didn’t have clear signs, we couldn’t find the reception, and we got scolded for parking
also, google map let me know the right direction.
I had to pay extra for the linen cover etc. I already knew about that. so it was not a problem for me.
The day we(couple) wanted to stay at, there was no room left except the big room which is for 10 people maybe.
I made a reservation anyway, and I really liked it.
at first, I was worried a lot, because there were a lot of bad reviews. but the cottage itself was good.
I don’t know about the winter time. It would be cold staying there. (I stayed there in July.)
It was a good time.
(I know it is a bit pricey, but think about it. There is nothing around the cottage. maybe it has to be…)
