Book a Sarlande Cottage

"Everything was wonderful "

"Wonderfully well kept property. Everything worked, everything was clean and everything was provided. Andy and Lisa greeted us on arrival, showed us around and made it clear that they were always available if we needed something. Beds and chairs all very comfortable. Really nice property in an extremely peaceful location."

"Absolutely gorgeous property.Lovely welcome gift and such a nice welcome for our family.The hosts are around if you ever need them, but we didn't as everything was perfect.The house, the pool and the garden were lovely and well kept.We will definitely look to return.Lots to do in the area as well."

"We had a fabulous 2 week stay at La Maison du Bonheur. We couldn't fault the beautiful property and surroundings. The pool was perfect for the hot weather we experienced. Cathy and her family were great, generous hosts. Getting a tour of their bee hives was a particular highlight! Overall, would highly recommend"

"We had a nice holiday after the first couple of days sorting out missing items, some grimey kitchen stuff & dirty outdoor furniture (spiders nests under outdoor table). Lovely pool (hole in one corner of liner covered by duct tape) & garden with lots of trees providing shady areas. Beware screws sticking up in decking, loose tiles & rickety gate. Garden needed work as lots of dead plants. Double room in cottage very dirty & full of spiders & webs. Requested them to clean that room after the first night, which they did. Missing parasols (provided after request) No fans in bedrooms (provided after request). Kitchen stocked well of most items needed but only 3 dinner knives (more provided after request). BBQ was disgusting, we bought grills to cook on. Shutters & windows of bedrooms could be opened but sound of ripping spider webs put one off doing this. In between windows and shutters has not been cleaned for years! Only 1 shower cubicle in attic. 1 hand shower (no screen or curtain) in bath on 1st floor. 1 shower over bath with screen in small cottage. Overall a lot of maintenance & thorough cleaning required. It's in the country so insects expected but what we found was unacceptable! As we were leaving the owners told us we had to clean or pay them 150 to do this. No mention of this in details or on arrival. Owners got very unpleasant when we disagreed. Description of house is misleading. Not waterfront, no a/c except 2 x portable units in attic. Overall a shame really."

"Expected more for the high cost. Bed linen inferior and pillows badly stained. Did not enjoy the extended cleanliness tour. Furniture worn. Shower mastic needed replacement. Outside gravel area needed weeding. All-in-all not up to expectations. Owners pleasant but overly intense. Kitchen nice. Garden relatively small. Pool warm but opening/closing pool cover and plastic walls of gazebo as instructed every day was tiresome. Nice seating area behind pool. Jacuzzi very nice. Outside griddle very useful. Shame lovely views restricted by hedges. Awful smell from septic tank (?) on occasions which even meant closing door into house at times. This was the most expensive rental we have ever stayed in having been in many 3/4 bedroom villas with heated pools before in France, Europe and across 4 continents. At around 300 euros a night it should have been better. Sorry we were really disappointed compared to the week before which was half the price and a had a lovely heated pool in a large garden with quality bed linens, furniture and free electric bikes. Sorry Nadine and Jean-Pierre the gite was not for us. "
