"La maison est très bien située dans un superbe environnement et le fait qu'elle soit dans une propriété fermée et sécurisée est un plus. On peut laisser certaines choses sans aucun risque. La propriété est également très calme.La maison offre tout le confort, grand réfrigérateur, congélateur, airco .... En fait tout le descriptif sur Abritel est juste, rien ne manque.La communication avec Simon, le propriétaire est impeccable. Il répond toujours très vite et vous donne en prime d'excellents conseils en matière de magasins dans la région.En résumé, nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans une maison superbe où nous retournerons certainement car c'est une région que nous connaissons moins bien et en une semaine nous n'avons pas tout vu."

"A great house for a large party. We spent most of the time outside - our group (including six children aged 3 to 10) really enjoyed the pool, games room, toy house. The gas barbecue was really helpful and there was loads of cutlery, crockery etc. We also appreciated the generous provision of loo rolls, soap, cleaning stuff, towels etc."
