Reviewed Sep 6, 2026Daphne is een zeer warme en vriendelijke enthousiaste host. Het was vanaf het begin een makkelijk contact. Ze heeft ons heel vriendelijk ontvangen en meteen alles goed uitgelegd. Haar man stond meteen klaar om iets in de badkamer te verhelpen. Wat een organisatieskills heeft dit koppel samen! Fijn bed, ruime kamer, licht, alles met zorg en tot in puntjes verzorgd. Ze gaf veel tips over de omgeving en activiteiten. Er was ook heel mooie tuin, waar we helaas te weinig tijd voor hadden tijdens ons verblijf! Zelfs na ons verblijf hebben we nog goed contact en hulp gehad van Daphne om me te helpen mijn regenjas te traceren.

Parken war direkt vorm Haus an der Straße möglich und ohne Zusatzkosten. Eine Unterkunft, die unsere Erwartungen übertroffen hat! DANKE!
