Für uns beide war es von der Ortsanbindung zur Autobahn perfekt.Man.ist in weniger als 30Minuten in Bridgewater .Man kann sich sehr gut als Selbstversorger und der neuen Küche sehr gut einrichten.Es gibt kleine Mängel die sind von der Größe des Bettes für größere Personen von 2 Meter nicht geeignet ist.Der Schlafkomfort ist ausbaufähig ansonsten ist die Besitzerin Sharon für Wünsche immer ansprechbar.Alles Gute Schorsch und Moni
