Excellent stay
Lovely little gite in the grounds of their family home. Brilliant hosts, very welcoming and treated us like family. Closed the property gates so our dog could run mad around their large fully enclosed garden. A real home from home , would not hesitate to stay again.

Cosy, smart, perfect!
This was a lovely place to stay: an 'upside-down' property, with the bedroom and bathroom downstairs, and a very nicely designed living-room/kitchen above. It was very comfortable, and the owners were incredibly helpful and friendly - both in communication before, and during our stay. It's a very pretty, quiet village as well.
