Lovely Gite and great shower.the stairs to the bedroom is very steep, and even though the garden was great for the dogs, the garden furniture could do with updating
We stayed for one night on our way through France. A great spot which was very clean with comfy beds and a lovely shower. We would definitely stay again.
Almost perfect accomodation to calm down. Excellent starting point for hiking or visiting Reims.

We had a quiet night stop en-route to the Alps, Just perfect. This village was lovely, good for a short dog walk and a beautiful church and superb garden.
We are planning a return to this area and will try and stay again.
This was a fabulous place for an overnight stop- very quiet neighbourhood and very clean property. The lake is a 10 minute walk away and is lovely. There is also a family friendly cycle path. We hope to return one day
Fantastic renovation, very comfortable accommodation in a quiet village.
Great location for exploring the history of the Chemin des Dames, which was viewable from the property.
Friendly and helpful host on site.
We spent one night here before heading to the nearby Centre Parcs. Such a lovely and peaceful place to stay. We listened to the birds and sat and enjoyed the peace. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. My boys loved it there and really want to return!
Stayed overnight on the way to skiing. Very clean, comfy beds, great shower and a good night's sleep was had by all. We have a great welcome from the owners and the dogs too!
Wished we had arrived earlier to take a walk around.
We had a wonderful stay in this fabulous home.The home was as described. It was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, with everything that we could possibly need. The owner was nearby but not intrusive - he was very friendly and kind and we were lucky enough to meet his lovely daughter, who has excellent English - such a help!The area was lovely too - we went on a lovely walk near the Lake. Thank you so much!

A functional gite in an interesting area, ideally situated for exploring the Chemin des Dames. However we found the windowless main room a bit cheerless, and the wifi signal was non-existent.
There was confusion about the address which was given as 1 Rue du Lavoir which was incorrect.Noisy dogs next door.Stairs very steep.On plus side an absolutely charming property with excellent facilities and character
Logement tres propre, bien aménagé et conforme à nos attentes. Le lieu et paisible ( chant des oiseaux, air de campagne). Les enfants on eu chaud du côté mezzanine prévoir peut-être un ventilateur ou petite clim pour le haut quand il fait de forte chaleur. Mais ce nai qu un conseil sinon le reste était parfait merci.
Logement très propre et très fonctionnel.Secteur très calme et reposant pour se ressourcer rien de mieux.Logement très bien placé pour se balader, accéder à l’Aqua Mundo ( Center Parc), Cavenre du dragon, Axo plage …L’hôte vit à côté. Resté disponible mais n’est pas envahissant.Une adresse à retenir.
Das Haus hat sehr viel Charme und ist modern und stimmig ausgebaut. Der Vermieter Ludewic hat uns sehr nett empfangen. Er züchtet nicht nur Tauben , sondern hält auch auf dem angrenzenden Grundstück jede Menge weiteres Federvieh. Es hat uns viel Freude gemacht, die beiden lieben Hunde beim "Aufpassen" auf das Geflügel zu beobachten.
Wir haben hier sehr entspannte Tage verlebt.
Le Chemin des dames hier, l'Ukraine aujourd'hui et demain?
Bien que témoins d'un massacre ( bataille du chemin des dames) , les paysages sont superbes, très bien respecté , un plaisir de se promener, dans le calme, en ces lieux où après tant de dévastation, un sentiment de paix prédomine.
Maison restaurée avec goût, fonctionnelle
Proche center parcs, lac....
Endroit calme au milieu de la verdure avec vue sur des Animaux basse cours
Cadre très agréable.
Séjour très agréable dans ce logement atypique rénové, cadre naturel magnifique et reposant, propriétaire sympathique, disponible et n'étant pas avare de commentaires sur la région, je recommande à 100 %.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour loin de tout... À conseiller aux amoureux de la nature. Ludovic nous a beaucoup aidé dans ses conseils et le gîte etait parfait.
