Vi havde en vidunderlig tid i stenhuset i Sainte-Marguerite-d'Elle! Haven var absolut vidunderlig, perfekt til vores aftenbarbecue, mens vi så solnedgangen, Køkkenet var godt udstyret, hvilket gjorde det nemt for os at tilberede måltider, Vores børn elskede den rummelige indretning, og de nærliggende vandrestier holdt os beskæftiget i løbet af dagen, Værten var utrolig imødekommende og delte gode lokale tips, hvilket gjorde vores ophold endnu mere behageligt! Vi kommer helt sikkert tilbage

Virkelig romslig sted med alt vi trengte, Stuen var lys og koselig, perfekt for å slappe av etter en dag med utforskning, Soverommene oppe var komfortable, og den buede trappen ga et fint preg selv om det var litt vanskelig til tider, Beliggenheten var fin og stille, men fortsatt nær de viktigste severdighetene, Alt i alt et herlig opphold
