Süßes Hütchen mit Veranda in Natur inmitten wunderschönem Garten. Gut für Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg nach Picton.

− Etwas anonymer Aufenthalt. Keine Tips, was man in der unmittelbaren Umgebung machen kann, bspw kleine Spaziergänge

Logement non adapté aux Boomers/Seniors

Le calme , les lapins gambadant dans la pelouse d'un jardin très bien entretenu La facilité d'accéder grace aux instructions transmises par l'hôte par courriel

− Aucun contact avec l'hôte , décevant pour rencontrer la population locale et échanger . Impersonnel ☹️ C'est un logement pour les beaux jours , la table de la cuisine est très petite et la terrasse généreuse peu adaptée au printemps frileux . Pas d'informations pour une petite marche juste dans le voisinage . Il faut être très habile pour faire fonctionner le chauffage avec la télécommande , selon les instructions fournies , alors que l'on peut après On/Off appuyer directement sur les commandes affichées sur le radiateur .
