Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The accommodation is set by a quiet river and was a nice place to relax. We used the BBQ and enjoyed a peaceful stay. Kayaks and life jackets were free to use, which was great for spending time with the kids. The hosts were very kind, and in the evening they showed us a nearby forest where we could see glow worms. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. It was great value for money, and we’d love to visit again.
