Loved the decor in the Art Deco room of the Barge. The hosts provide everything needed, even putting milk, butter and orange juice in the fridge on arrival which was a nice touch.

Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit direkt vor dem Boot eine Fahrradtour zu machen, zu joggen oder einfach spazieren zu gehen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten liegen mit dem Auto 5 Minuten...
