Es war ein durchweg angenehmer Aufenthalt. Wir waren zwei Familien. Die Kinder waren vor allem vom Pool begeistert, wir Erwachsenen fanden die riesige Terrasse im GrĂŒnen toll. Vielen Dank auch an die freundliche Vermieterin.

Schreckliche Aufenthalt

Wir waren 2023 schon einmal in diesem Haus und hatten eine wunderbare Zeit, doch dieses Jahr war der Aufenthalt enttĂ€uschend. In den zwei Jahren hat der Poolbereich stark unter Schimmel gelitten, und der Saunaofen löste den FI-Schalter aus, sodass wir die Sauna wegen stĂ€ndiger StromausfĂ€lle nicht nutzen konnten. Der Pool hatte eine Wassertemperatur von 20 Grad, was fĂŒr Erholung nicht angenehm ist. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Raum betrug 95 %, was extrem hoch ist. Uns wurde vorgeworfen, unsere Kinder seien schuld daran, dass die Sauna kaputt ist oder der FI-Schalter auslöst, weil sie ins Pool gesprungen seien. Zur Klarstellung: Die Kinder waren nur einmal dort, da das Wasser zu kalt war.Der Elektriker war dort er sagte der Saunaofen ist kaputt und daran liegt es. In den 2 Tagen waren fĂŒnf Handwerker vor Ort, sodass wir unseren Urlaub ĂŒberhaupt nicht wie geplant genießen konnten. Das WC-Schloss war bereits am ersten Tag kaputt, wurde provisorisch repariert, bis sich jemand von uns dort einsperrte. Danach wurde es fachgerecht repariert. Die EigentĂŒmer waren von unseren stĂ€ndigen Anrufen wegen der MĂ€ngel genervt und forderten uns zweimal auf, das Haus innerhalb von einer Stunde zu verlassen, sonst wĂŒrde die Polizei gerufen – was natĂŒrlich lĂ€cherlich ist. Das Haus ist in einem schrecklichen Zustand und absolut nicht empfehlenswert. Null Sterne.

Das Haus war perfekt und sauber. Das Schwimmbad war ein Highlight fĂŒr die Kinder. Braunlage ist nicht weit entfernt, wo Wintersport möglich ist.
