Fijne tuin Voor herhaling vatbaar! ##### Micheline B. ### 8/10 Good #### Denise M. 18 Jul 2018 #### LOvely, quiet spot for a holiday. Chantal Blais is a most welcoming host and the house is very spacious with lots of options for eating outdoors, which we did every evening that we were in. Comfortable beds and excellent bathroom facilities, although a shower curtain is needed in the room with a bathtub. Lots of equipement in the kitchen - most of it not used, but a garlic crusher and a potato masher would have been handy! All in all, a very pleasant stay and good value for money. ##### Denise M.
