"Another quaint and cute house in a town loaded with cute houses.
This house , now a hotel, is located up a street just off of the main road in Bacharach .
Beautiful sunny garden and a small stream just add to the charm.
The fachwerk outer design is beautiful.
Definitely a major photo opportunity.
1/2 walk from the train station.
