    Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Loft war sehr sauber , die Betten waren sehr bequem. Alle Räume waren geschmackvoll und es fehlte an nichts . Das Loft liegt etwas einsam weshalb ein Auto erforderlich ist . Dafür war es sehr ruhig.

Upstairs is a large open plan, studio style living/dining/sleeping space. Please note the bathroom has its own separate entrance and consists of an electric shower, toilet and washhand basin.
