Bach was suitable for a larger family/group with a tidy outdoor area and big table, extra mattresses if needed. The 4 queen beds had lovely linen on them. We forgot it was not a air b and b, although similar and I would recommend bringing your own toiletries and some extra toilet paper. No complaints as was perfect for our pre wedding stay. Good communication with hosts and easy access

So much to see and do in the area

The bach was perfect for us! Cozy woodburner but spare heaters as well. Very spacious bedrooms, a lovely porch and a secure, fenced garden for our dogs. The house is located very central to all the places we visited but not too busy.
