  : Janique, the host, couldn't have been nicer. The room was warm and comfy with lots of running water and even a bottle from their own vineyard.
  : Bit out of the way and difficult to find

  : Nice, clean and very spacious accommodation. Ideal for a family of 4. Hosts were very nice. It is nicely located in a vineyard. Breakfast was fine (nothing special). (If you desired complete detachment, you will be slightly disturbed by distant car noise.)

  : Typical French Countryside, quiet, scenic location. Wine from the Chateau is lovely, nice to be staying so close to the vineyard. Very clean, modern ample accomodation.
  : I think the breakfast room could do with a wee bit of tlc. Room could have been made to be a bit more enticing, less clutter, more homely etc Having said that the breakfast was very good.

Poor

  : We liked the vineyards and the location was convenient
  : We booked a room because of the convenient location outside Bordeaux and because the listing on booking.com said that the room came with laundry and cooking facilities. When we arrived after a long day drive, we were happy to check in with our one year old son, to cook a meal and clean some clothes. It turned out the cooking/laundry facility wasnt actually in the room itself but in a kitchen area shared with another room. No problem, we thought. However, when we asked about how we can use the facilities, the owner lady told us that it was not allowed, because it was not included in the room rate. When I gently pointed out that this was the main reason for us to come there and that she had advertised these facilities on booking.com herself, she got very angry. She said that it was unrealistic to expect this service and blamed booking.com for the miscommunication. She did not offer any solution and was totally unsympathetic to the fact that we were traveling with an infant, who needed to eat and go to sleep and couldnt be dragged to a restaurant 10km away. the situation was very awkward and made us feel extremely unwelcome. Only after 45 minutes or so, and only because I practically begged for it, were we allowed to use the cooking plate to boil a simple pasta. In the end our night was ruined and we had to waste money and precious sight seeing time to do our laundry in Bordeaux the next day.
