Wonderful!

Wonderful! The landlady was extremely welcoming. She provided a bed and all kinds of toys for our baby daughter. The room was cosy, the living space and kitchen well-equipped. The breakfast was copious and good as well. We felt actually a bit guilty to get all of this for what we paid.

Nous n'étions de passage que pour une seule nuit et nous avons passé un très bon moment. L'accueil de Denis et Marie-France est très chaleureux et pleins de bons conseils sur la région. La piscine est agréable et nous avons apprécié le petit déjeuner grandiose fait maison. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Excellent accueil et endroit charmant

Accueil parfait ! Des hôtes bienveillants, de bon conseil et au petit soin pour nous. Le petit-déjeuner très complet et proposé avec des produits fait-maison vaut le détour (comptez 6€ par personne en plus de la réservation pour en profiter). L'endroit est aussi merveilleusement calme et la piscine à disposition est un plus très appréciable ! Je recommande vivement La Maison de Barbara :)
