Read More...Marita welcomed us warmly with a specialty dish of the area and meeting family and friends. The house is comfortable and a great location for outdoor activities as well as being a short train ride to Koln. The neighbours were very helpful and friendly and a supermarket and bakery just a short walk up the road. A lovely stay.

The place is ideal for visiting Köln (we did it by train) and Bonn, for cycling on the Rheinfahrweg and walking. With kind regards, Lieve and Marcel

Read More...We had a lovely house sit in this delightful home. It was quite cold weather but inside was lovely and cosy with all the amenities we could need. The area is beautiful with plenty to see and do and also with Cologne a short train ride away. We recommend a trip to the beautiful town (village?) of Stadt Blankenberg which is not too far away and full of history.
