This cosy flat is nestled in the garden of a private home. Inside, the open-plan living room has been thoughtfully designed to bring ease and warmth to your stay. The layout is simple and compact, but it’s perfectly formed for couples and solo travellers. There’s a little patio outside and the host welcomes well-behaved dogs with prior approval.
