"The house had plenty of space and was much larger than it appeared in the photos. The kitchen was a pleasure to work in and bedrooms were very comfortable. "

"Clean enough but needs some maintenance "

"In the middle of the countryside but with shops only a short drive away, it was the perfect setting for a family holiday. We very much enjoyed our stay which was very relaxing and our al-fresco meals were an absolute delight. It is well equiped and we were able to prepare meals without difficulty and no shortage of utensils, pots and pans etc. The downside is that the property is in need on both a deep clean and some basic maintenance. There was a lot of dirt and dust and also mould in one of the showers. We enjoyed the swimming pool however we had to clean it before we could use it and it does NOT comply with French regulations in that there is no protective fence around it. The trampoline was not in a safe condition either. We had four small children with us so we had to keep a close eye on them at all times. Although the house instructions state that the CCTV is switched off when it is rented out, we were not convinced as the cameras still showed a red light so they clearly had power. For me, it was almost nostalgic as I spent a number of family holidays in a (family owned) house in a similar condition when I was younger but, if you are looking for a house that is in really good condition, move on."

" The accommodation was first class. All bedrooms en suite, and everything worked perfectly. The kitchen was a bit on the small side for the number of gusts, but again, everything worked. The caretakers, Carole and José, were polite, friendly and helpful. However, we were very disappointed with the state of the grounds in the immediate vicinity of the house. The photos on the website were very misleading. The views from the outside dining area were very restricted, and bore no similarity to the photos. Its terrace looked out onto a stand of dead or dying trees, and any distant views were obscured by shrubs that badly needed pruning in order for the views to be opened up. The poolside shrubbery was similarly very overgrown. We were particularly disappointed with the views of the small lake to the side of the house. Again, there was very poor management of the shrubbery surrounding the lake., thereby completely obscuring the lake itself and the far-reaching views beyond. We mentioned this to the caretakers early on in our stay, but no action was taken. It only needed a couple of hours with a hedge trimmer to open up the scene so that it resembled the website's photos. The overgrown foliage and shrubbery would have certainly contributed to the constant annoyance of the aggressive giant horse flies that plagued the area, particularly around the poolside. Nevertheless, we award this stay 4 out of 5. And if the foliage and shrubs had been dealt with, it would have been 5 out of 5. "
