Merveilleux séjour

Impeccable !! De notre court séjour, nous gardons une impression inoubliable de l'ambiance parfaite du gite au milieu d'une campagne française magnifique parsemée de villages tous plus jolis les uns que les autres. Vraiment mille mercis à Julie-Anne, Éric et leur chat pour l'ambiance détendue, calme et chaleureuse qu'ils donnent, dans leur pittoresque propriété agréablement aménagée à cette image également.

Idylic holiday destination

We loved everything about being here. A lovely peaceful, tranquil holiday for me and my family. The owners were lovely and very helpful. From the moment I arrived I felt very relaxed. The accommodation was perfect with a private rear garden. A barbecue area which also had seating. Also very pleased to have met Jack. I would love to come back again.

Super cadre et accueil au top!

Nous avons passé 3 jours et 2 nuits en famille dans le gîte "la mouette". Julian et Éric sont de super hôtes, très accueillants et sympathiques. Le gîte est très adapté pour 8 personnes avec tout l'équipement nécessaire. Et l'extérieur est un véritable terrain de jeu pour les enfants. Bref, super WE. Je recommande !!!! Sandrine D

Parfait

Nous avons passé le premier de l an entre amis dans un des gîtes et c était vraiment très bien. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants, sympathiques et vraiment à l écoute de tout réajustement. Le gîte était encore mieux que sur les photos. Nous conseillons pour un séjour ce gîte.
