Cosy appartment for 2 adults and 2 kids

We had a lovely stay at the Firemans Cottage. The property was clean and well equipped. Everything was as described, however the second bedroom is very small and there is just space for the bed. So it would be recommened for a couple with 2 little kids only rather than 4 adults. All pubs, restaurants etc are in walking distance, so very convenient for a short stay/trip as well.

8/10 Good

Tolle Unterkunft in zentraler Lage

Wir haben uns in der kleinen und urig-gemütlichen Wohnung sehr wohlgefühlt. Für uns war vor allem die super-zentrale Lage von Bedeutung. Allerdings liegt die Wohnung an einer stark befahrenen Straße. Nachts ist es jedoch verhältnismäßig ruhig. Die Gastgeber waren super-freundlich und sind bei Bedarf jederzeit erreichbar und in der Nähe. Vielen Dank!
