Nous avons passé un excellent week-end en famille dans ce gîte. L’hôte s’est montré particulièrement flexible concernant les horaires d’arrivée et de départ, une attention très appréciée lorsque l’on parcourt une longue distance pour venir. Le gîte est superbe, dans un cadre paisible et idéalement situé au bord de la rivière. Nous recommandons vivement cet hébergement pour un séjour ressourçant.
