- If you go in summer with friends and fancy a barbecue.

Good to know
Check-in is from 16:00 to 20:00, with photo ID and a credit card. You must check out between 08:00 and 10:00. The arrival window is only four hours, so if your train or flight is delayed, let the guesthouse know. If you plan to work on a laptop, check first whether there is an internet connection.
