Great place
The Bach was tidy, well presented and we had a wonderful stay. However, we did struggle to get the dish washer to work, one of the heaters and some of the beds/mattresses were vey soft (time to replace I think). Thank you for sharing your wonderful place.

Loved the ambience of the bach - huge lounge, log burner, big table. Games for the kids! The 4-bunk room needed heating though. We couldn't fit the portable heater in there.
