The first thing to note is that the online photographs do not fully do the property justice. The views all around the gite, complete with rolling fields full of sunflowers, were quite beautiful in August when we visited. The kitchen & living room are also both much larger & brighter than the impression given in the photos. Our only complaint was that our visit coincided with a bit of heatwave & the gite wasn't designed to cope with temperatures peaking at 37+ degrees so a couple more portable fans/some ceiling fans wouldn't have gone amiss but otherwise the accommodation was perfect.
My only other suggested improvement would be to convert the building next to the pool into a self-contained studio/garden house to accommodate another couple of guests, or at least a day room that could open up to the pool. Perhaps the lovely owners will consider this in future as it would make for a very handy area for guests!?
Finally, I would just like to thank Brigitte & Gilbert for providing a lovely setting for what was a truly enjoyable holiday & I would definitely recommend this property for any people looking for a tranquil countryside retreat!
A wonderful house in a beautiful peaceful location, away from the tourist trail!
The house is truly wonderful; lovingly restored and beautifully decorated, with a very well-equipped kitchen for cooking great meals to eat in the shade of the pigeon house. Lovely, rural garden with far-reaching views over corn fields to the Black Mountains. Good sized well-maintained salt-water pool with lovely grass surround which kids and adults alike will love. If you would like a peaceful, relaxing stay in rural, unspoilt France then this is the place to stay. The second of the two double-bed rooms is significantly smaller than the first (there are four bedrooms in total). We loved it and will return!
