Wir waren auf der Durchreise und blieben deshalb nur eine Nacht. Das Mini-Holz-Zelt ist echt cool. Wobei die Betonung hier auf Mini liegt. Viel Platz gibt es nicht. Das (eigene) Badezimmer ist im Gebäude nebenan. Sauber und für den Zweck ausreichend. Da es nur eine Steckdose gibt, welche gegebenenfalls durch die Heizung besetzt wird, ist ein Mehrfachstecker zu empfehlen. Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Absolut top! Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und würden sofort wieder kommen.

Lugar muy tranquilo, el bungalow muy bonito, muy cómodo, muy acogedor ( el lobo), con todos los utensilios necesarios para cocinar. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque le haría falta una buena poda a los árboles, al aparcar hay que tener cuidado con las ramas y puedes rallar la furgo.
