    “A spacious and comfortable cottage for our stay, four adults and two dogs.”

    Views towards mountains and general surroundings are peaceful and relaxing, cottage is cosy and well-maintained and heated throughout. The narrow hillside track up to the cottage is very steep and sharp initially but we got used to it and were up and down everyday exploring the area.
