Friendly, comfortable, spectacular location
I loved my stay. The house was very relaxed and friendly. I was really impressed by the owners' dedication to their task. The surrouding countryside is absolutely beautiful with good walking. It was a very happy week for me. I wasn't aware that evening meals were available and I would have certainly opted for one on the day of my arrival - a Sunday - when everything around was shut. I had expected en-suite but I got a bedroom with shared facilities. The cars for the neighbouring gite parked right under my window - apart from affecting the view, I had to close my curtains more than I should have, given the beautiful and remote location.
Manager's reply
Thank you for your feedback. I am really glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and it was very nice to meet you. I am sorry about the bedroom with shared bathroom, but all the other rooms were already booked. Thank you for bringing to my attention the situation of the car from the gite being parked under your window. We now own this piece of land (it was shared with the commune before), so we shall be making it into a gite garden. Once the garden has been fenced in, it will not be possible to park underneath the bedroom window. I am really sorry for this inconvenience, but hope we shall see you again some day.

Pleasant stay
This was a nice farmhouse but very rural. Rooms and beds were comfortable and clean and the breakfast was good with breads, croissants and preserves. Would have benefited from having an extra WC and shower as there was 6 people but for an overnight stop it was fine. Village was about 3K away. Very, very winding roads!!! Excellent base for a walking holiday.
Manager's reply
Thank you very much for your kind review of our accommodation and the one night stay you had with us following your holiday in Spain. I would agree with your comments on the rural aspect and also the winding roads, excellent motorbike, walking and cycling countryside. I would however, just like to point out for others reading these comments, that we do in fact have 4 toilets and 3 showers in our farmhouse and the family room for 6 people with its private ensuite shower and toilet facilities, would usually be used for a couple with 4 younger children. However, I do appreciate your comments, taking into account that your group of 6 people consisted of 4 adultes and two older children. Had your stay not been a one night stay in Peak Season we could have offered you 3 separate rooms, each with accommodation for 2 people with own shower and toilet facilities. If you decide to visit us out of season for a longer break, please feel free to contact us for more details and once again, thank you for visiting us.
