Great place in a quiet town

This property was exactly what we needed as a big group of single friends due to the many twin beds. The location is great as climbers with the house being an easy walk to the boulders and a bakery for delicious pastries and sandwiches. The host is very kind and went out of his way to help us when the washing machine in the property wasn't working. I will note that there was not a hot tub at this property as listed in the description which was a bit disappointing but I am imagining that was some sort of translation error.

The apartment was spacious and in a very good location, which were definitely its strongest points. Unfortunately, the overall quality did not match the price we paid.Many of the fixtures and furnishings felt very cheap and poorly constructed. The toilet seat was held up with an elastic band, which we found unpleasant and unhygienic. There was also nowhere to wash your hands near the toilet, meaning you had to walk to the other end of the gîte to use a sink. The handrail on the stairs also felt poorly constructed, while the chairs and sofa were cheap and uncomfortable.The kitchen was spacious, but some of the utensils and equipment provided were of such poor quality that they were almost useless.Most disappointing was being charged extra for towels. Considering the price we had already paid for the accommodation, we felt charging additionally for something as basic as towels was unreasonable.Overall, the location and space were good, but the standard of the furnishings, equipment and attention to practical details simply did not reflect the price.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your stay at Gîte Éléphant. We are pleased that you appreciated the spaciousness of the gîte and its excellent location, which are indeed two of its main strengths. We are nevertheless sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We take your comments regarding the toilet seat, stair handrail, seating and kitchen equipment seriously and will check these points carefully. We would, however, like to clarify one point regarding the price. Gîte Éléphant is a large holiday cottage designed to accommodate up to 7–8 guests. The rental price is therefore based on the use of an entire spacious property, rather than on a per-person basis. When the gîte is occupied by only four guests, as in your case, the cost naturally represents a higher price per person. This is the same principle that applies to most large holiday cottages rented exclusively to a small family. Regarding towels, they are offered as an optional service so that guests who prefer to bring their own towels do not have to pay for a service they do not require. We understand, however, that you would have preferred them to be included in the rental price. We are particularly sorry that you felt that the overall standard did not correspond to the price paid. We continually maintain and improve our gîtes and take guest feedback seriously. Your comments will therefore help us review the points you have mentioned. Despite the aspects that disappointed you, we are glad that you enjoyed the space and the location of Gîte Éléphant, and we hope you were able to make the most of your stay in the beautiful Fontainebleau forest.

Gemütliche, ruhige Unterkunft in einem idyllischen Dorf, perfekt gelegen, nur wenige Minuten in den Wald und in die Bouldergebiete. Wir haben die Terrasse, den kleinen Garten und die großzügige Raumaufteilung sehr genossen. Sehr netter, unkomplizierter Vermieter. Uns allen hat der Urlaub sehr gefallen und wir haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt, jederzeit gerne wieder!

Estancia en familia 15dias

En el anuncio no se especifica que hay que dejar 300 euros de fianza en efectivo nada más llegar, cosa que me parece super importante, y que la luz que se gaste apartir de 7 pasos diarios, se paga aparte... La limpieza bastante justa. El resto muy bien
