Roel

Family from Apeldoorn, Netherlands Jun 2014

We had a wonderful time in the house. It was perfect for us, one family with children and an older couple. The house and the garden were very nice, especially for the children the garden was nice. Having a dishwasher and a washingmachine made it for everyone a vacation. We could walk to the Balaton, but mostly we went by car which was no problem at all. We would advise this house to anyone who wants a real vacation.

Definitely the best holiday home we have stayed at in Hungary. Lots of space including lovely big dining tables both inside and out. Excellent facilities in the kitchen and useful having a DVD player.

Plenty of space in the garden and an excellent location for visiting lots of places around Lake Balaton.

Andrew

From Chiswick, United Kingdom Jul 2006

The house is beautifully decorated and everything is very good quality. We had lots of space both inside and outside and its hard to find fault with the house.

The house is in a very quiet road, but there are lots of nice restaurants nearby.

Helga, the owner, was very helpful with advice before we went and on arrival there was lots of information on the local area.

Thoroughly recommended !

Helen from Hertfordshire

The house was so well equipped, with extra dishes and cutlery to accomodate 8+ people and a load in the dishwasher. Dishwasher and washing machine was timesaving and ideal.
The house itself was excellent in decor and space for 8. The surrounding garden a haven, so peaceful and beautiful. Restaurants walking distance held variety and quality.
Lots to see and do, thanks to Helga and Stewarts well stocked leaflet rack in the apartment and details they sent out to us before arrival.
For our two familys Hungary was a fantastic holiday.

Thank you
