I think the outside of the property could do with a bit more maintenance as the window views were blocked by the climbing plant . And maybe if some of the garden trees and bushes were trimmed there would be better views of the hills in front . Also there should be a large supply of logs and coal we usually have to bring our own supplyâs , most other cottages have large amounts to use . Apart from that we love the place

It was really perfect in our eyes! We often look to the tv program 'Escape tot country' and it was an experience like that! And the surroundings: so beautiful and quiet! We made many walks and were every time again astonished by the landscape, the farms, the stone walls, the sheep... We enjoyed everything and every moment; a real escape to the country for two onforgettable weeks!

The one feature that would improve the property would be a shower
