About the host
Hosted by Lin and John Whitehead
We live in Norwich, England and have 2 boys - Archie and Harry - and one girl - Alice, both work full-time and love travelling to France for holidays as it is so easy to jump in the car.
Why they chose this property
We saw this property in August 2015 when staying close by and within a week had decided to take out a French mortgage to buy it! Crazy but true - it's such an amazing house for big groups or extended families, with acres of space and the best views from the terrace. We love it and hope you love it too.
What makes this property unique
The property is totally enclosed and surrounded by lots of garden where the kids can play safely. The terrace is amazing for eating and sitting in the evening watching the pool or reading a book, and we are lucky that an English couple live down the road who manage the property for us, who are a wealth of information on the local area and very helpful.
