Reviews and comments

We had a great weekend in this pleasant house. Kids loved the garden and the many activities on offer, from football to trampoline to climbing, badminton and pool to cool off! The icing on the cake to distract the little ones: the presence of two donkeys in the neighboring field. The surrounding nature is beautiful with its flowered fields and hillside lined with fir trees. Inside the house there were all the necessary amenities including a multitude of children's games. And outside, a nice table for lunch peacefully on the terrace accompanied by the birdsong. In short, a perfect family stay that makes you want to come back to Jackie's place, a very friendly host and always ready to give valuable recommendations!

We had a lovely week and a big thank you to Jackie to being so kind and helpful and for making us feel so welcome. The cottage is very nice with good amenities and is very clean. Our grandchildren so enjoyed the large garden, the play apparatus and the pool. They also loved feeding the donkeys and playing with Jackie’s dogs and cats who are very friendly. The location is very peaceful and the surrounding area very picturesque. Jackie is an excellent host and we would certainly recommend this gite.

Very nice weekend in Jackie's beautiful house. This one is tastefully decorated. Access is easy. There's everything you need to feel at home. Jackie came to greet us. Extremely quiet and exotic place. The pool is big enough for 6 people. Lots of active choices. The 2 donkeys are very nice. The view is beautiful and unobstructed. I highly recommend it. A real moment of relaxation and tranquility
