DirkNLFantastic B&B
You only have to ask what you like for breakfast and it was done. A room with a fantastic view over the valley, nice and quiet. Lovely and very hospitable hosts (Uta and Jason), it was just perfect.

R.SUnited KingdomVery pleasant hosts, well sized clean room, secure parking, attention to detail on breakfast preparation was impressive. Great location for walks directly from the house - wish I'd have seen it in fairer weather.
