The farmhouse is beautiful, clean and very well equipped with lots of space for our group of 7. The pool is lovely and in an amazing spot with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. We appreciated all the activities provided on site which are more than lots of holiday homes provide. There are a couple of activities listed which aren't there (eg a gym) but Rebecca and Gary were very helpful and provided some equipment for the boys which was much appreciated. We were a bit disappointed that the bar/restaurant in the nearest village wasn't open, and the two nearest boulangeries were shut the week we were there but that was just bad timing! All in all we had a great holiday and would very much recommend the house as a holiday destination.
The house is very pretty and in an idyllic location with lots of facilities. We enjoyed using the pool and external eating area. Unfortunately, the hosts who live on site, were often visible and used the pool while we were there. They interrupted our last evening meal to insist that we ensured we cleaned the house to a professional standard. Although we did clean the house to a reasonable standard we have since been sent 3 abusive emails as the cleaning did not meet their standards.
Amazing house, great location and lots to do in the surrounding area. House was extremely well equipped and Gary and Rebecca were lovely warm hosts. Would definitely look to return in the future.
We had a great stay, loved the pool and the house was very well equipped. It accommodated 9 of us with ease. Both Rebecca and Gary were very helpful and recommended some great places to visit during our stay.
Would definitely recommend 😀

Zeer vriendelijke eigenaars.
Alles was zoals op foto.
We loved our stay. The house is beautiful and was immaculate. Everything we needed plus more in the kitchen (which is unusual in our experience). Spacious bedrooms and indoor space. Pool was perfect. The outdoor spaces have been carefully planned so lots of comfy outside places to chill in and enjoy the stunning views. Pretty towns and villages round and about. And kids loved a day at La base de pleine nature at Poltrot. Rebecca and Gary were lovely hosts. Highly recommend.
We (2 families, 4 adults, 5 kids) loved our stay at Rebecca’s and Garys place. Their villa is clean, nicely decorated and well equiped.
We loved the pool. The owners respect your privacy, but are close if you have questions or requests. The information guide provided is great.
Supermarket and bakery are 8 minutes away and several hypermarches are 20 minutes away.
There are Nice villages a short drive away, to go sightseeing or do some activities.
Thank you Rebecca and Gary for having us! Lovely greetings Mark, Astrid, Marijn and Mariska and our 5 daughters.
een groot landelijk huis met genoeg ruimte voor 10 personen. Heel proper en netjes ingericht. niets was er tekort.
Prachtig uitzicht op glooiende landschap. Heel rustig.
Fantastic facility with more than enough space for the ten people staying. Pool is exceptional as is the privacy:
Owners were very attentive but not intrusive at all. One of our guests needed to go to hospital at mid night and Gary & Rebecca escorted and checked them in:
Would strongly recommend you visit. Andrew & Tracey (UK)
