Le gîte est nickel, rien à redire sur la propreté et les équipements. Il manquait peut-être quelques serviettes/torchons pour la vaisselle et les mains mais rien d'insupportable.La salle de sport et la salle de jeux sont des plus incroyables qui ont permis de passer un superbe séjour. (Et je ne parle pas du potager qui est magnifique mais on a pas osé y toucher)
