About

The cabin has no electricity and is lit by candles or a rechargeable lantern. It has a 140 cm double bed and dry toilets. Toilet blocks with a bath, shower and WC are on the ground. A portable heater is provided in winter. In 2026, the listed price was 160 € for two, breakfast included, with 10% off from two consecutive nights. Sheets, duvet covers and pillows are provided.
