There is also a snug room on the ground floor with comfortable seating, a television and doors which lead out to the enclosed rear garden. The garden has a lovely decked area with furniture, which is perfect for hosting evening summer barbecues.

Modernes Ferienhaus für die ganze Familie

Das Ferienhaus ist hell, modern und gut ausgestattet. Schöner Garten zum Grillen. Der Grillplatz könnte einen besseren Rauchabzug haben. Ansonsten alles top!
