To get a successful holiday…
..it’s important to get as detailed information as possible. So that you know what to expect, our staff inspect all cottages. All cottages / flats are equipped for self-catering, You need to bring sheets, towels and articles of consumption.
A holiday house is often quite different from your regular home. The furnishing can be both modern and older, the china and cutlery don't always match and there can be a lack of closets and chests of drawers. The beds may be basic.
A bed loft is an attic on the second floor, often with a steep stair/ladder and a low ceiling and where there are no beds, only mattresses. The water heater may be small, so it will take some time for the water to get hot if more people are having showers.
In summer, there is always some risk of mice, wasps, flies and other insects occurring in and around holiday cottages. The landlord can not be held responsible for cobwebs indoors or ants on the premises. However, the landlord should be contacted immediately if severe insect infestations occur, so that appropriate measures can be taken. The landlord can not take responsibility for activities outside the grounds of the house such as roadworks etc.
All indicated distances are approximate. The nearest shop may only be open in summer. Distances to bathing areas in lakes refer to the closest ones, not necessarily the closest public beach.
If you intend to bring a pet, always ask upon booking if pets are allowed in the cottage you intend to rent. Pets are not allowed in most cottages, We cannot guarantee that a cottage / flat is safe for allergic people.
