Le cadre est splendide et le coin très tranquille, nous n’avons pas bougé de la maison (sauf sortie au Futuroscope). Lee est une personne très accueillante et à veiller à nous satisfaire tout le séjour. Nous étions un groupe de 9 jeunes de 21/22 ans et recommandons vivement la location de Lee. Merci encore Lee !☺️ ##### Marie B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022
