Super jolie et sympa

Le gite est très jolie. La situation et la région sont superbes pour se détendre et faire de belles promenades. Le gite était propre à part de nombreuses toiles d'araignées, mais je suppose que c'est normal pour la région. Une lampe au dessus de la table et un moyen de chauffage plus facile de la pièce de vie serait un atout pendant la période d'automne. Tous ces "petits" problèmes sont largement compensés par un propriétaire super sympa et très réactive aux demandes. Un petit panier d'accueil était présent. Le service est exceptionnel et de qualité. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Pure paradise

Gorgeous surroundings, very cute and comfortable gite. We slept well and loved sitting in the garden. Jane and Rob couldn't have been more hospitable and helpful. We were very sorry to leave.
