Fantastic and tranquil

Paul and Elaine made our stay so easy. Beautiful property with a great pool and patio area. Special thanks to Paul who couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect, even set up a big screen projector so we could enjoy the rugby. If you’re looking to relax in beautiful rustic surroundings, this is the place for you.

Séjour très décevant – informations trompeuses et accueil problématique.Notre expérience a été loin de ce qui était annoncé. À notre arrivée, la piscine était inutilisable et la salle de jeux sale. L’annonce ne précisait pas que le propriétaire vivait sur place, ce qui a fortement limité notre intimité.Nous avions choisi ce logement car il indiquait que des événements étaient possibles. Après une soirée entre amis à l'extérieur et loin de la maison, nous avons subi une réaction extrêmement virulente du propriétaire, malgré l’information donnée avant la réservation. La situation est devenue ingérable et nous avons dû quitter les lieux avant la fin du séjour.Le remboursement partiel ne compense pas la déception ni les prestations non conformes. Nous recommandons que l’annonce soit mise à jour pour refléter la réalité (présence du propriétaire, conditions pour les événements) et que l’entretien des équipements soit sérieusement revu.

Le gîte est très fonctionnel. Nous avons passé un très bon moment tous ensemble malgré un temps plus que pourri. Nous n'avons pas pu malheureusement profiter des installations extérieures. Les propriétaires sont très courtois et compréhensifs. Merci pour leur accueil.

Very tranquil.

This is an ideal place to get away from a busy lifestyle. The owners live next door and are very welcoming, we had a welcome basket with things in for breakfast the following day. This is not a place for people who have mobility issues as there are no toilets on the ground floor, not very convenient when you are round the pool and have to go to your en-suite bathroom, the stairs leading to the bedrooms are extremely narrow and steep. There are no restaurants or cafés nearby so self catering is essential. We had a very relaxing stay.
