Beautiful location just what we needed, lots to do and see in the area
Corine and Jon were very helpful and let us know of good things to do locally
Gite was big enough and well equipped with everything we needed
We loved our stay this summer. The accommodation is a great size. The only thing that would have been a bit nicer is the outside space, which overlooked parked cars, but that didn’t ruin our enjoyment.
The hosts were always on hand and super helpful - particularly when an emergency dental appointment was needed!
It is a lovely area and I’d recommend this property.
Très bon accueil des propriétaires, maison agréable et l'environnement est super! On est au calme, avec les vélos à disposition, la piscine et le jacuzzi. Top!

lovely gite with pool and hot tub
We had a lovely stay here ....Carine, Jon and their adorable family are the new owners of this 4 gite complex....we stayed in the Grande Epoque which is listed for 4-6 people but comfortably 4 adults 2 children.....a lovely little gite but a little tired in places, great, modern shower room but tbh the kitchen area could do with a lift and the biggest problem was the wifi as its almost imposible to get signal inside the gite....the pool, hot tub and surrounding garden areas are great and the pool is well placed to have maximum sunshine from morning to early evening...overall it has all you need for a comfortable stay and we would definately return there - we wish Carine and Jon much happiness in their new venture and are confident that they will make a huge success once they overcome the initial teething problems
