Peaceful, green & well equipped

Lovely two-week springtime stay, seeing nature in and around the attractive small lake change in front of our eyes. We pretty much had the site to ourselves - there’s an adjoining gite but it’s discretely separate. WiFi was installed whilst we were there; a nice bonus we didn’t expect. Very well equipped, clean and with wonderful, caring owners. Thanks for the tasty home-made jams and local wine. Well situated for visiting the area. Our big dog had fun too. Recommended!

Rustige mooie omgeving

Een mooie omgeving.. in het huis is alles aanwezig om een goed verblijf te hebben.. zorg wel zelf voor een internet bundel op je telefoon of tablet. Want internet is er niet. Wij hadden wat moeite met de bank.. die is wat laag.. maar wij zijn beide best wel lang. We hebben heerlijk buiten gezeten en genoten van de rust. Meneer Bertrand is erg aardig en vriendelijk. En kan je wat tips geven over de omgeving.

Superbe location

Bien que court, notre séjour a été plus qu'agréable. Le jardin est très bien entretenu et très charmant, des jeux sont à disposition pour les enfants, les animaux ont de l'espace, et le logement est très propre et pratique. Les propriétaires sont adorables et sont de bons conseils pour le tourisme, nous avons même eu droit à une visite troglodyte ! Nous n'hésiterons pas à revenir pour une durée plus longue, c'est une adresse à conserver.
