    Im Mittelpunkt stand eine pragmatische Übernachtung, von daher kein großer Anspruch an die Lage; Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus; sehr nette Gastgeber. Sehr nette individuelle Lösung, meinen leergefahrenen eScooter laden zu können.

    Das Frühstück war ausreichend mit frischem Tee oder Kaffe, so viel man haben wollte. Und ein frisch gekochtes Ei hat ebenfalls zu den täglich frischen Brötchen nicht gefehlt.
