St. Märgen holiday apartment

I would agree with the previous review in that the appartment is very well appointed and from the rear has lovely views to the hills beyond (building ugly from the road but the appartment is situated to the rear of the building). Its is a very pretty appartment on the edge of the town of Sankt Margen.

Our host Ernst was very helpful.

The loggia is the best part of the property, spacious and comfortable with a sofa. The roof terrace we didn't use much as the building is on the main road and occasionally got quite noisy outside, especially at 'rush' hour and at the weekend.

There is plenty of tourist information (German and English) provided although we would have liked some walking maps of the local area which we had to purchase from the tourist info office.

There is a bakery, deli and small supermarket in the village but you need to go to Titisee Neustadt for supermarket shopping (15 mins). The Edeker and Aldi are situated on a roundabout on the main road between Titisee and the Neustadt - junction of L128 and L156 (we spent nearly an hour trying to find it as we didn't have the address).

Things we liked:
- loggia
- pretty decor
- well appointed kitchen, lots of nice crockery
- good sized bathroom
- one English TV station (CNN)
- location is great for local walks and not far from points of interest, beautiful countryside
- lots of tourist info provided

Things that could have been better:
- A choice of pillows - the bed had large, high/hard pillows so we ended up having to use cushions from the living room. The pillows in the spare room were also large and too high for us
- Larger more comfortable sofa (there is a small 2 seat sofa and a larger one which looks pretty but isn't very comfortable
- The washing machine plug was locked up so we couldn't use the facilities and had to wash our clothes by hand
- Roof terrace can get noisy as it is next to the road (don't think there is anything you can do about this though)

Overall I would rate this appartment Good - I have only marked it down from Excellent due to it being on the main road and overlooking a small housing estate at the back (occasional noise).
