Au cœur d’un paisible petit village perché sur une colline, le gîte comprend tous les éléments nécessaires et tous ces petits objets insolites qui embellissent le quotidien. Mais il permet aussi d’accéder à une grange meublée de façon originale avec jeux de flèchettes et table de Ping Pong et à un petit jardin aménagé en recoins agréables idéal pour le repos, la lecture, la méditation ou l’observation de la nature. Et les hôtes sont très sympathiques et à l’écoute. ##### CHRISTINE N.

Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derick S. 10 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Gite par excellence The accommodation was exceptional in every aspect. We can say with confidence that it is the best holiday rental we have ever occupied in our travels. The Gite was wonderfully comfortable and quiet and the cleanliness was of an amazingly high standard. The provisions within the Gite were superlative, with all the utilities required for self-catering purposes. There is also a library of reading material, music DVD’s and a huge catalogue of DVD’s to watch upon request. The location of the Gite was idyllic and quiet and is situated in a relaxed and sedate environment. The owners Bob and Joe have a beautifully maintained and secluded garden where you can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings with a variety of seating and dining areas available and loungers. They are always at hand for information and guidance and were kind enough to allow us free use of their bicycles to explore the beauty of the local area, which was an added bonus! Another wonderful feature was full use of their converted barn known as ‘The Grange’, which was not only beautiful but palatial. The Grange provides another area where you can relax and have access to extra utilities such as another cooking area, washing machine and fridge/freezer. There is also a darts board and a table tennis table. Adrienne and I had a magnificent stay at this Gite and we wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who wishes to come on holiday to the area and have a peaceful and serene stay in a place of high quality. My only regret is not to have found this accommodation sooner. I know that we will be back next year and for the years to come as for us it is a no brainer. Par excellence. Indeed!!! ##### Derick S.
