Fantastic and tranquil
Paul and Elaine made our stay so easy. Beautiful property with a great pool and patio area. Special thanks to Paul who couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect, even set up a big screen projector so we could enjoy the rugby. If you’re looking to relax in beautiful rustic surroundings, this is the place for you.

Very tranquil.
This is an ideal place to get away from a busy lifestyle. The owners live next door and are very welcoming, we had a welcome basket with things in for breakfast the following day. This is not a place for people who have mobility issues as there are no toilets on the ground floor, not very convenient when you are round the pool and have to go to your en-suite bathroom, the stairs leading to the bedrooms are extremely narrow and steep. There are no restaurants or cafés nearby so self catering is essential. We had a very relaxing stay.

Le gîte est très fonctionnel. Nous avons passé un très bon moment tous ensemble malgré un temps plus que pourri. Nous n'avons pas pu malheureusement profiter des installations extérieures. Les propriétaires sont très courtois et compréhensifs. Merci pour leur accueil.
