Very interesting old farmhouse, highly recommended
The house is quirky, clean and comfortable for our extended stay of 3 weeks. The pool was excellent and the surrounding areas well kept, interesting wild life abounds round the pool particularly. The access was clear down the little lane and the turkey enclosure at the end provide much entertainment for the children and adults. The occasional sheep in the orchard too and friendly dog, Mia, and even more friendly kitten, Mouche, provided more welcome and entertainment too. Pascale and Jean Bernard were lovely hosts, and provided us with cheese and wine at the start of our stay, and occasional fruit rom the orchard during our stay. Overall it was idyllic. The hosts live on site in an adjacent building, excellently and imaginatively renovated, and at first their presence was a surprise, since the Vrbo information said they lived some kilometers away. Nevertheless their presence and accessibility was a great help. Jean Bernard advised us he had built a low wall in February giving them some of the outside space that we had believed for our exclusive use. A disappointment, but not an intrusion in the final analysis, though I do think the photos on the Vrbo site should be updated to reflect this. However, the kitchen is not well equiped for a cook, we were self catering and had to buy some things to make it work for us such as sharp knives for veg prep and a lid to fit the smaller saucepans. In terms of cutlery and tableware, it is very well equiped. I would highly recommend it.
