Reviews of our guests



‘What a change of scenery! The place is really very charming, it's really the countryside as we like it. Anne-Flore, her husband and 3 boys are very welcoming and caring. We highly recommend this gîte if you are a family with children. The swimming pool is heated and the farm animals are all very cute. We haven't left yet and our daughters are asking us when we're coming back :)Thanks again for your welcome and see you soon.’
