After staying at Glan Donau for the second time, we will definitely be back. The location is splendid with wonderful country views and we just loved watching the sheep out the back. Birds on the feeder were splendid with visiting woodpeckers daily. The cleanliness of the house was fantastic with everything you might need in the kitchen and bathrRead moreoom. The owners were extremely helpful after we left when my son discovered he had left some clothes at the house by accident. Certainly went above and beyond. Can't recommend this bungalow highly enough, we will definitely be back. Hide

Lovely cottage, very clean, modern, with everything you need, and a games room with darts and pool. Our children loved playing those. Great location, views across fields full of sheep, bird feeder in garden with woodpecker visiting regularly. You'd need a car as nothing is near, but there is lots to do within an hour's drive.
