Calme....

Le gîte correspondait à ce que nous attendions . Equipement minimaliste dans la cuisine pour qui aime cuisiner... , un grille pain et une grande casserole auraient fait mon bonheur. Le gîte était très propre et le lit confortable.... Le terrain face à la terrasse manquait d'entretien ,mais Sam était blessée au genou , donc on lui pardonne ...! Sam est très agréable et n'est pas avare de vous montrer ces adorables animaux. Nous lui souhaitons encore un très bon rétablissement. Dominique et Bernard

Super séjour avec des enfants, plein de gentilles attentions de la propriétaire

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Le logement est simple mais très bien pour un long week-end comme nous l’avons fait. Les lits sont confortables Les alpagas, le cochon et la basse cour ont été une très chouette attraction pour nos enfants . Ils ont adoré donner des carottes aux alpagas! La propriétaire est aux petits soins et plein de petites attentions ont jalonné notre séjour. Nous recommandons ! Merci Sam

Lovely spot, so peaceful!

My partner and I had a great stay here in September. Whilst the weather had become cooler, the log burner was perfect and each evening was so cosy! I’d recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from it all - it was so peaceful! Sam is a great host - so friendly and helpful and, of course, I have to mention the animals - Miles, Warren and Egg the alpacas, Colin the pig and Vienna and Whisky the cats! It was so nice getting to spend time with them all.

About the host

Hosted by Sam

After living & working in London for the majority of my life, I've quit the rat race to try to live "The Good Life" in the French countryside. I moved into the farmhouse here in 2015 with my my cat & my two geese. Since then I've added to the menagerie - more geese, another cat, chickens, guinea fowl, a pig, and of course the three alpacas.
