Großartig! Es war eine ganz besondere Woche. Die Grange ist sehr stilsicher und liebevoll gestaltet worden und allerbestens ausgestattet. Sehr behaglich, aber nicht urig, mit Liebe zum Detail. Die Abgeschiedenheit in dieser gewaltigen Landschaft hat das Abenteuer komplett gemacht.Vielen Dank auch an Alex für die zuverlässige und persönliche Kommunikation.
Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen: Sehr gut ausgestattete Küche, stilvoll und gemütlich eingerichtete Räume, Spiele für drinnen und draussen für die Kinder sowie Tragerucksack, Hochstuhl etc. Super Ausgangslage um das Val d‘Herens zu erkunden. Bei Sonnenschein haben wir die Naturterasse genossen und bei Regen die Holzöfen eingefeuert und das „Naturkino“ hinter den grossen Fenstern auf dem Sofa bestaunt.
Wir waren Anfang Januar für 4 Nächte in der wunderschönen Grange. Alles war liebevoll und sehr wertig eingerichtet. Holz zum kochen und zum heizen war vorhanden. Die Aussicht ist der Hammer. Der Kontakt war super nett. Wir können es nur empfehlen !
