A really lovely, peaceful and quiet place, away from everything.A converted outbuilding of an ancient moated farmhouse in a lovely garden.The host is lovely, welcoming and helpful. A bit slow to respond to online requests but so easy going.Just turn up, knock on the door and she will show you the place and help with any queries.The WiFi is a bit weak but usable for most things.We will be coming back.

Absolute paradise

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay of four days at the gite. The location is quiet and perfectly situated to balance being near sightseeing highlights but out of the busier city areas. The house itself is charm personified. A beautiful exterior, a modern and comfortable interior, and the most beautiful garden we saw the whole stay. The gite garden was even more amazing than those of the castles we toured. The house was clean, the king size bed comfortable, and the host helpful and welcoming.

Super séjour dans un lieu d'exception

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Pierre et Françoise entretiennent avec passion leur manoir et sont des hôtes extrêmement attentifs. Le gîte est décoré avec goût et très bien équipé. Le jacuzzi et le sauna sont bienvenus après une journée de balade. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

Unique French experience

The most idyllic French experience imaginable! A centuries old estate away from the masses where you are greeted by fantastic hosts that know all about the area and are happy to give you all local advise you need and the best sites to visit and which to avoid. Having your own transportation is must. We stayed 8 nights and still many activities on our list. Will absolutely be back. Probably most suitable from travelers without or children over 12 but we had a fantastic time together with our 9 year old. Highly recommend especially if you want a true French experience!! The apartment is equipped with everything you could possibly need and the jacuzzi and sauna are a definite plus!! Comfortable beds. Many thanks to our hosts who were highly hospitable and let us use all of their beautiful estate, we will mosy surely be back.

Parfaitement agréable , calme et confort

Un WE prolongé pour apprécier vivement ce superbe lieu paisible d’exception! Le gîte décoré avec soin est très confortable et agréable. Nous étions 4 pers : le canapé lit est particulièrement confortable ( ce qui est très rare!)et les 2 salles de bains étaient fort appréciables ! Bien sûr l’espace bien être est un must avec son SPA 3/4 places et le sauna . Rien ne manque ! Les hôtes sont particulièrement accueillants et sont les meilleurs ambassadeurs pour découvrir leur régions qu’ils connaissent fort bien ! Merci à eux pour leur accueil !

Un Havre de paix tenu par un charmant couple amoureux des pierres et de la nature

Havre de paix et de confort dans une propriété remplie de charme

Trois jours merveilleux dans ce gîte raffiné et ultra confortable (le jacuzzi est un must après une journée de balade !). Le cadre est rempli de charme : le manoir et le parc sont superbes et magnifiquement bien entretenus! Francoise et Pierre sont passionnés par leur propriété et passionnants, et ont été plein d’attentions pour nous. The place to be si vous aimez le calme et le charme de lieux insolites !

Un cadre magnifique (manoir idyllique et terrain arboré et paysagé avec gout) et un gite tout confort, bien équipé et très calme. De superbes visites et randonnées à faire à proximité. Merci à Françoise et Pierre pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse, nous serions bien restées quelques jours de plus avec eux.
