Très bon séjour !

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans ce gîte, très bel endroit au calme entouré de prés, bois et de chevaux, plein hiver et pourtant maison bien chauffée et très bien équipée, confortable auprès du poêle à bois (doublée pompe chaleur), rien ne manque de petites attentions de la propriétaire pour Noël merci :)La région est très jolie, peu touristique, on peut se balader depuis la maison, aller au village de Chatel à pied, faire un tour avec les ânes de Yannick pour le plus grand bonheur des enfants !En voiture nous sommes allés voir les tourbières sur la plateau de la verrerie (super point de vue), la neige (luge) aux loges des gardes, avons visité une petite ferme pédagogique et fait des balades en forêt / étang, tous ca à 15-30 min de route du gîte. Ravitaillement complet au Mayet à 10mn en voiture (plein de petits commerces très qualitatifs : boulangerie, boucherie, fromagerie, supermarché, boutique d'artisanat...)Bref, super séjour, nous recommandons les hôtes, l'endroit et la région ! et aurons plaisir à y retourner à la belle saison. Merci Yannick !

Bon séjour dans une région magnifique

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce gîte. Propriétaire accessible et agréable, cuisine bien équipée et lits très confortables, poêle à bois très appréciable en hiver. Attention cependant il faut une voiture pour tout (premiers commerces à 10 minutes en voiture).
