  : We were in the separate challet in the garden and not in the main house. This was fine.
  : Not allowed to park by the main house and had to park under trees adjacent to the chalet. This was safe and secure but was at the mercy of the birds and droppings. When i asked if i could park in one of the several spaces by the main house i was told no as it was too busy,but i didnt see this.

  : Great location, the horses around add to the experience. The room was big with eye for details.
  : Communication onsight was mostly French. Not an issue, but good to know.

  : Jean was very welcoming and attentive. Charming house and gardens, superb location, near to beautiful village with excellent restaurants, galleries and patisserie. The cheese shop is a must visit. Breakfast was very pleasant, refreshments available all day. Beautiful bathroom, great shower, comfy bed - slept so well. The house decor is a little worn out but this is part of the charm.
  : Wifi was patchy.

  : The location and authenticity of the house were great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely great when passing through or staying for a weekend.
  : The beds weren't very comfortable and the showers, although very fitting for the house, were impractical (water everywhere). A large light in the bedroom would also be a nice addition.

  : Horrendous DO NOT STAY greeted with fly sprayI have no idea when the photos on the booking.com we sight were staged and taken, probably back in the 1980s or before, because the place looks NOTHING like them, the place is dilapidated. Paint crumbling off, scruffy unkept grounds, dirty garden chairs. The rooms are no better, hard uncomfortable beds, no atmosphere, more like a down trodden youth hostel. The bathroom we had,was the large pink one that looks nice in the photos, but more like a potential death trap. On the double sink unit only one of the two taps worked and that tap only had cold water. There was no plugs, just gaping holes, so dont put anything near the sink youll loose it. The grout is thick with mold. There was a very deep bath with a shower above it, ridiculous to climb in and out of, the bath floor is slippy and with no shower curtain and a tiny bath mat water spilled onto the floor, it was so hard climbing out of the death hole of a bath then onto a sloppy floor, with only your tiny towel to mop up the excess water. The hostess Natalie is rude, we attempted some French, she was not interested in even attempting English, despite the site claiming the language was spoken. Also dont expect internet, despite what they say, there is none! If there was wed have found somewhere else to stay. There is none in the area, it is a horrendous place to find, as you cannot use google maps and the car satellite doesnt recognize the place. When you do arrive you have to call at the expense of international call rates to be allowed in. We had to ring 3 times and leave phone messsges. It took 45 minutes to be let in. On a plus wed were told we could have tea or coffee in the lounge anytime, we were shown a kettle, but no milk, so only if you like black tea or coffee. There is no one around at all to ask anything. Youre literally in an old crumbling place, with no one around, in a hard bed with cold water.

  : The owner tries hard to make the guest feel at home.
  : At least some of the windows could have screens to allow free air without being concerned about mosquitoes or the like.
