The strict cleaning of our gite is always our main concern.
Laundry is washed in Dettol Antibacterial liquid.
The property will be throughly aired.
The pool will be ‘shocked’ after each let or before new guests arrive bringing the chlorine levels up to a safe level.

If you prefer to bring your own bedding and towels as a precaution we will welcome this, or if you prefer to use the Gites linen that’s also fine.
Please let us know when you make your booking.
We live on site and are available for any help or advise you may need but social distancing will be kept at all times.
