So close to the Castle, the grounds of which are your front garden and stay open 24/7. The path in front of the house weaves you down through the beautiful Bebra Gardens, past the paddling pool and down to the waterside.

Lovely cottage with amazing views of the castle & near to the town. Well equipped and comfortable, though a little chilly downstairs. We stayed in April, so this would probably be quite welcome in the summer months. Would definitely recommend.
