Premières impressions sur la propriété, plus belle encore que ce que nous avons pu voir dans les photographies. Propriétaires extrêmement sympathiques et tout à fait disponible au moindre soucis.
Endroit calme, idéal pour se couper du monde le temps de quelques jours.
Rien à redire sur notre séjour, il fut parfait et nous en remercions Lesley et Paul de nous avoir accueilli !
First impression on the property : it looks even better than on the pictures.
The owners were sincerely kind and available at any goven time if we had a problem.
The property is very calm and ideal to cut yourself from the world for a few days.
Nothing to say about our stay other than it was perfect and we thank Lesley and Paul for having us !
Accueil exceptionnel des propriétaires (Paul et Lesley, couple d'anglais souriants et aux petits soins pour leurs hôtes), avec un panier contenant boissons et nourriture pour bien débuter le séjour, des fleurs pour agrémenter le gite...
Logement décoré avec soin, linge de lit et de maison fournis (y compris les serviettes de piscine!), mise à disposition de jeux de plein air, pour la piscine ou de vélos, tout y est, on se sent vite comme chez soi!
C'est un lieu très reposant, on s'y sent bien à l'intérieur (pour un apéro dans le salon à côté d'un feu de cheminée), comme à l'extérieur (sous les patios pour trouver de l'ombre en journée ou éclairé par des lanternes à la tombée de la nuit).
La piscine est très agréable car chauffée, spacieuse, avec de nombreux transats et bouées ou jeux pour en profiter au maximum.
Merci à Lesley et Paul pour leur accueil, on reviendra sûrement!
Très bon séjour en famille (nous avions loué la ferme et l’étable), dans un ancien corps de ferme très bien restauré. Les logements sont très bien équipés (vaisselle, drap, serviette, jouets, jeux, etx…). L’environnement est calme et reposant. La piscine chauffée et couverte est à bonne température et entretenue quotidiennement par Paul (avec des bouées gonflables à disposition, idéale pour les enfants).
Les propriétaires sont très accueillants, agréables, arrangeants et très avenants, et bien qu’habitant à proximité ils restent très discrets. Un petit panier de bienvenu nous attendait à notre arrivée.
Les commerces de proximités sont à moins de 10 minutes en voitures.
Thanks again Lesley and Paul for your hospitality
