9.6/10 Exceptional! (54 reviews)
Brilliant house with lots of room, so perfect for 3 families to share
an hour from La Faucille and an easy walk to the waterfalls which are well worth a visit. the fireplace was a hit, as was the friendly kitchen. it would be good if some coffee mugs were bought, and the dishwasher needs to be looked at - we washed up by hand.
