In den drei Wochen im „Goat House“ fühlten wir uns ausserordentlich wohl und gut aufgehoben. Alles hat Stil in eurem Heim: die Einrichtung der Räume, der gepflegte Garten, der Service und ihr als Gastgeber – unsere landlords. Das Frühstück ist grossartig, ausgiebig und einfach spitze. Die Abendessen à la Jamie Oliver genossen wir in vollen Zügen und sehen es als grosszügiges Angebot und Ausnahme.

Rundum ein 5- Stern B&B. Herzlichen Dank.

 

The three weeks in your "Goat House" we will really miss. We can highly recommend this guesthouse for:

  • the warmly welcome
  • cosy atmosphere
  • excellent breakfasts
  • friendly,  helpful and considerate hosts
