Family holiday

We booked the property for our family of 8. 3 sons & their partners, plus mum& dad.It was the perfect place for all of us to enjoy Maubuisson & the surrounding area. There was plenty of space & bathrooms so there was no compromises.We enjoyed bbqs in the garden & games on the balcony.We would definitely return.

We loved it, from start to finish. Great house with all amenities you could need or want. Location is superb for walking into the small town or having a good hike in the woods. I went running every day along the lake route. Good for cycling, swimming but also chilling out on the balcony if you so wish. Only a 20mins car journey to the coast too. We couldn’t have had a better place to stay and highly recommend this house! Thanks for having us.

Séjour fantastique dans une maison magnifique...

Cette maison est vraiment un sans faute : spacieuse, accueillante, décorée sobrement avec goût, hyper bien placée au bord du lac avec une vue à couper le souffle depuis quasiment toutes les pièces (surtout la terrasse du premier étage). A réserver sans hésiter, vous passerez un super moment.
