We were the second couple to stay at the newly renovated gite and were not disappointed. It was great to find accommodation in France designed specifically for a couple and were surprised how well equipped it was - exceeding our already high expectations from the pictures. The heated pool was lovely and bathed in sunlight all day with high quality sun loungers and shade available from large parasols and nearby trees if required. The salt and chemicals kept the water immaculate without being noticeable or irritating in any manner. Everything had been thought of in the Gite plus more and it was great having a washing machine, dishwasher, and Tassimo coffee maker, smart TV etc. The waterfall shower was large and the bed listed as King (European) was huge at 1.80m wide (UK Super King). The bedroom is in the original roof but was more than adequate in height for my 6ft 2 inches. The photos also show a large covered outdoor space with a fully equipped gas grill, corner cushioned outdoor seating, dining tables and chairs etc. which we assumed was shared with the other gite only to find it was exclusive to us. Communication with Lee and Zandra was fantastic and they could not have been more sociable or helpful, even taking time to help us by calling a local garage when our windscreen cracked. We also had a few drinks together sharing some stories. They really are a lovely couple and were attentive at the right level with nothing being too much trouble. The location is also great and set back from the centre of the village with an amazing Wednesday market and near to the facilities but really peaceful at the rear (the best of both worlds), with large automatic gates adding security. The area is also great for exploring by car and walking with a fantastic sandy beached lake 2 miles away. We left relaxed and overjoyed having found a real gem.

The accommodation was stylish, spacious and spotless! a gorgeous 2 bedroom gîte with a private outside space, all set within a beautiful large garden plot with a pool. The accommodation is positioned in the centre of village, but once inside their beautiful gates it’s totally quiet and private and spacious giving you the best of both worlds. Being located in the village allowed us to pop out to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine at the local establishments within 2 minutes! Also there is a great village market on Wednesday. The garden inside is tastefully landscaped and also provides onsite private parking. The gîte has everything required, washing machine, coffee machine,great shower, bright bathroom, comfy lounge and TV with access to Netflix & U Tube if you don’t watch French TV. Locally you can access beautiful nature walk (the rock) there’s a lake with man made beach. plenty of villages within easy drive. A supermarket 5 minutes away.
