Très bel ensemble de 3 gîtes mitoyens dans une longère rénovée. Nous avons réservé un seul gite mais étions tous seuls donc nous avions le terrain et la piscine pour nous exclusivement, c'était fabuleux. Le temps nous a permi de profiter de la terrasse et des tables de pique nique installées dans le terrain. Le gîte est rénové et aménagé avec beaucouo de charme et tous les équipements de confirt nécessaires. De nombreux vélos sont à disposition, ainsi que des jeux de plein air et de société. Le baby foot et la table de ping-pong dans une grange à l'abri occupent jeunes et moins jeunes. Bref un bel endroit au calme idéal pour des rassemblements de famille ou d'amis. Merci encore.

About the host
Hosted by Colette and Gary Stephenson
We bought the property towards the end of 2016 and moved to France in January 2017. We had loved holidays in old French houses - usually during the winter months! The move to France was a relatively easy decision to make. We love the quiet of the countryside.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property driving into the courtyard. It was picture perfect, even during the winter. Now we are heading to summer, the roses are in bloom, the birds are chirping and it is absolutely bliss.
What makes this property unique
It is a peaceful location but within easy reach of some beautiful towns. The large garden means that there is plenty of space for everyone. The newly refurbished pool terrace is a wonderful outside space
