This year we have upgraded the poolside with wooden decking which gives lots more space for sun loungers and parasols. We've improved the patio area with new shading, food shelf and lighting. There is a mist fan for added comfort on hot days in the patio area.
For those who want to keep in touch with work or home there is higth speed quality broadband and printing facilities available. We have an access point which gives over 50 metres range so a strong high speed signal is there while relaxing in the shade

Fantastic stay
Le Hibou Horeaux is a beautiful and well maintained property. The garden is large, beautiful, and private. The outdoor dining, pool, and grill area were perfect for us. The home is thoughtfully designed and very comfortable in the details (e.g. screens on the windows). Location is fantastic, we enjoyed biking, hiking, canoeing, and the many restaurants and small towns in the area.

Enjoyable Property for multi-generation Family Vacation
We spent 5 nights at the Hibou Heureux. Ewen, our host, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and help improve our stay. He surprised us with croissants our first morning at the house, offered a bottle of wine, and even secured a table for us at the Marché Nocturne on Bastille Day (to which he rigged a parasol for some much needed shade)! The house is a great starting point for visiting the nearby touristic sites, but still offers privacy at the end of quiet street surrounded by nature. There is a sizable garden and a beautiful pool (toys/floats included). We enjoyed several outdoor meals on the attached terrace. The house has plenty of storage in each room for personal items and luggage. The amenities are all updated. We enjoyed every minute in a home that you can tell is well cared for by its owner. Many thanks to Ewen; we highly recommend Le Hibou Heureux and would definitely return.

Happy holidays at the happy owl!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at this wonderful villa which is perfectly located within a short distance of some very beautiful towns and the river. We stayed for 6 nights and filled our time with boat trips, castle and chateau visits, enjoying the local markets and food tasting and of course relaxing at the villa in the sunshine enjoying the lovely grounds and swimming pool. Ewen the owner ensured we had everything we needed and was a wonderful host. We will most definitely be returning in the not too distant future.

Beautiful home and Perfect Location!
Le Hibou Heureux, The Happy Owl, was just that- a very happy time for our family of 8 (6 adults and 2 children). The home is lovely, the grounds fabulous, and Ewen, the owner, was most helpful from the initial booking to the end of our stay. The location was so perfect for so much to do for all ages. We had a fabulous time and can’t recommend this property and location highly enough! We had a wonderful time!!

Stunning villa with beautiful grounds
We loved our stay, this is a real beauty spot, the house we felt was spacious and very nicely and warm decorated, unlike other villas we had before in France which can be a little cold and lacking atmosphere. As a true bonus the grounds are very big and completely fenced, which is helpful if you have a dog which loves to roam around. Finally, Ewen is unlike any other landlord, trying his upmost to make your holiday a bliss without being too intrusive. Thank you.
