Sadly the pool was is need of substantial repair. The cracked slabs and crumbling cement around the pool was dangerous for bare feet and attracted wasps to nest. Not ideal for young children and babies. There was a constant bad smell in the kitchen due to drainage problems in the area of the sink.
The setting is idyllic and very peaceful in amongst the forest but we got bitten alive with all the woodland mosquitoes.
The property was as expected and well equipped with lots of room for 8 people.
The land attached was spacious, but unusable due to number of flies, as the property was mainly woodland (this will stop us from going back to the property).
The pool was good as were the facilities,but I must admit that the property would benefit from air conditioning, as bedrooms were hot at night.
We were a little concerned that for the price we paid, we were asked on the day before leaving to either clean the property or 100 euros to have the house cleaned on leaving.. We will elected to clean the property, as we are used to keeping our homes clean anyway
Heel leuk huis op een prachtig domein! Hartelijke ontvangst! Correcte prijs/kwaliteit voor een vakantiewoning in een rustige en mooie streek. Een weekje volstaat wel om de omgeving te verkennen...
I have to say the photos while great don't do this property justice, the house itself is simply gorgeous, to the point that one day I hope to own a house like this. The kitchen is well equipped, the lounge with the huge fire place and high ceilings is excellent, the pool table good fun, there is even a whirlpool bath for a bit of extra indulgence. Outside the two terrace were great, breakfast on the smaller overlooking the heated pool, evenings on the large terrac with a glass of wine, perfect.
Locally there is plenty to see, with the bastide towns being lovely attractions, and good eating out opportunities, there are nice and interesting chateau only a short drive away. A good location of a relaxing but interesting stay.
