Jun 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Simply Superb Lesley and Paul welcomed us with warmth and showed us around their lovely property. We have stayed at many Gites and holiday homes across France and I think its fair to say that the experience for us was as good if not better than anywhere we have stayed. The house had everything we could have needed. Very comfortable, clean and property that could easily accommodate four people. We had a fantastic evening with Lesley (Paul had nipped back to England) talking about all sorts and as a result suffered probably one of the worst hangovers of our lives, a lovely evening all the same thank you. ##### Andy N.

The place is well kept and loaded with facilities pool, sauna, games etc. Lesley and Paul were extremely helpful and keen to make sure our stay was faultless ##### Kevin H.
