Idyllic break in rural setting.
We were a large party of family, friends and children ranging from 5 to 14. The property was superb and well equipped for all our needs.
The surroundings are breathtakingly tranquil and one of my main concerns when booking was that as such a large party we would disturb other people. I needn't have worried though as the property stands alone with plenty of space between its neighbours but close enough to walk to the local village and its amenities.
The house was clean and spacious, decorated tastefully and suited our party very well. The children occupied the top floor in the bunk rooms and though very warm at night due to the very high temperatures they had no problems getting plenty of rest. The bedrooms on the first floor and lower ground floors were cooler and decorated beautifully.
The kitchen was clean and well equipped for all our needs and there was plenty of seating for meal times.
Most of our time however was spent outside by the fantastic pool and making use of all the wonderful facilities outdoors. All of the children were very happy making use of the trampoline, nets and games that David had made available.
The bbq area was a plus with great access to the additional fridge and freezer on the lower level and was well used.
As well as the pool there is a hot tub on site, which we didn't use as it was perfect weather for the pool, but would be wonderful for anyone staying in cooler months. Both are well maintained by Davids father who came early in the mornings when most of the children were still sleeping. David was a welcoming and responsive host but allowed us lots of privacy and autonomy within the property during our three weeks.
The property has good WiFi and was sufficient enough for my husband to work from when needed.
The village is nearby and the older children enjoyed their daily visits to the bakery to practise their french. We also visited the local restaurant which was friendly and accommodating for those pickier children and the owner was very helpful in letting us know about the local markets in the area. Although quite a quiet area the village came alive on a Tuesday evening when hosting its market, with large trestle tables laid out for visitors and live music and dancing, which we all loved.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a beautiful part of France. Thank you David and of course your donkeys (my son now has a recording of them as his ring tone 😀)
