We had a very nice stay, the problems were the settees were too low and made it difficult to rise. The kettle needs replacement as it trips all the time and also the can opener. The cutlery was not very good, too weak but we managed ok and had a very nice stay. The pool area was superb but let down by the sun beds being old and some were broken. The pool needed some handrails to assist getting in and out but we managed by putting a chair near the step to assist. The air conn was brilliant but was not needed very much.We did not get the wifi password for a few days but the helpful neighbour gave it in the end.Best wishes W.B.Askam
Great property, exactly as described. Clean, tidy and comfortable. A well kept pool with the advantage of being heated. 25min walk into the village for essentials or a 4 min drive to the large Intermarche.
Delightful and communicative owner with bonus of having the maintenance team living next door.
Can’t wait to return
Well presented house, good location, good for a family stay.
We enjoyed an excellent two week break at this well presented, comfortable house in the town of Bessan. The house itself is spacious, the lounge dining area in particular never felt cramped, the air con is great and a must if you have temperatures like we had (as hot as 39), the kitchen is a little on the small side but is pretty well equipped with major items and there are smaller bowls etc in the other dining area cupboards, if the weathers hot you tend to use the BBQ anyway. The pool and grounds are as good as they look, the pool heating system works well, generally being around 4 to 5 centigrade cooler than the air temperature, making it refreshing when you take a dip rather than a shock to the system! The pool security is also good (a must for us as we have small children).
The town itself is pretty quiet, I'd call it pleasantly sleepy, the market was good and there are restaurants in the vicinity, though not really within walking distance of the house. The town gives good access to a number of beaches, we particularly enjoyed Meze and Marseillan-plage both within 20 to 30 minutes drive. If you fancy a day away from the beach Pezenas and its myriad of restaurants is a must, particularly of an evening when the medieval old town looks simply stunning.
Minor downsides are that the air con serves the main living space of the house so the bedrooms can feel very warm at night (a couple of fans would really sort this out) and the square French pillows are a bit odd compared to our rectangular British ones (I liked them, the wife less so), they take a bit of getting used to. Lastly the shower in the bathroom is fine for cleaning the kids, but less good for adults, as there is no shower screen or high mounting for the shower head (fairly typical in France) as such its easier to shower in the pool house.
We would happily book this property again.
