Great hosts, the signalbox is a perfect place to come back to at the end of the day, or just a great spot to chill out and read books would stay there again for sure. Thanks.

    Tucked away in a quiet suburban setting to the west of the city centre this air conditioned garden flat has all the amenities for a very comfortable stay. The bed was excellent, and access to the forest and lake was a bonus. Our hostess was welcoming and charming, and made sure that we settled in with a minimum of fuss.
