A peaceful hideaway

The property is ideal for groups of friends or family. The bedrooms are large and very pleasant, all with en-suite shower rooms. The living space, in a separate barn, is huge and bright with several dining areas and a semi-professional cooking area, which saw a lot of fun team cooking. Outside we made full use of the several dining and relaxing spaces, which allowed for time together or time apart as well. The natural pool is set in an enchanting secluded wooded environment and is very peaceful. We also made much use of the boule pitch, which saw many raucous matches. Thank you Suska and Nico for your great welcome

Un petit coin de paradis

Il est difficile de trouver les mots pour décrire l'expérience d'une semaine au Happy Hamlet...! Nous avons passé une semaine exceptionnelle, accueillis avec sympathie par Suska et Nicolas. Profiter d'un endroit aussi calme et ressourçant que le Happy Hamlet est une grande chance. On ne se lasse pas d'admirer la vue depuis la piscine, de dîner sous les lampions et d'observer les étoiles en sortant (ou pas) du sauna. La déco est raffinée, chaque chambre a son âme et l'on sent que tous les objets ont été choisis avec précision et soin. On se sent enveloppés dans cette atmosphère idyllique, et cela est sans compter les talents culinaires dont on peut profiter avec la table d'hôtes. Merci Suska et Nico, on plane encore un peu !

Magnifique gîte pour un WE au calme!

The Happy Hamlet est un havre de paix où il fait bon passer quelques jours en famille ou entre amis. Suska et Nicolas sont des hôtes attentionnés. Les chambres sont grandes, magnifiquement décorées et chacune possède une salle de bain privative. Le domaine possède plusieurs terrasses et lieux de vie, des hamacs, un sauna pour 4 personnes. Seule la piscine (bassin naturel) nous a un peu déçu en raison des algues présentes au fond (aucune incidence sur la pureté de l’eau mais l’effet visuel n’est pas à la hauteur des photos, et les algues sont glissantes). Malgré ce désagrément, les lieux restent magiques. Je recommande cette location sans hésitation!
