    Wonderfully well kept property. Everything worked, everything was clean and everything was provided. Andy and Lisa greeted us on arrival, showed us around and made it clear that they were always available if we needed something. Beds and chairs all very comfortable. Really nice property in an extremely peaceful location.

    The house is as described, and Lisa and Andy were very helpful hosts. We particularly liked how well-equipped the kitchen was, the quietness of the house, and birdwatching at the lake. The lake is quite large, and we had it to ourselves. It is about 20 m from the front door of the house, reached via the car parking space.

    We received a heartly warm welcome by Lisa and Andy on arrival. The ‘petit maison’ is next door to their house, but has all the privacy with its own driveway, shed and garden. The house is as complete as can be, Lisa has it all organized very well and managed to give the house a homely feel. Especially when you, like us, arenot so very lucky with the weather and are forced to stay inn most of the time. We haven’t been able to enjoy the lake so much, but it must be wonderful to have a picknick there. And ofcourse all the gear for a picnic is ready for use. All you want to know about the surroundings is there in folders. In all we enjoyed our stay and managed to catch up with some reading by the fire with a good glass of wine.

    This gite was clean, well appointed, comfortable nothing was lacking, it was lovely just to sit outside having a coffee and listening to the bird's Lisa and Andrew were very friendly hosts and willing to help if you had a problem. The situation of the gite was very nice, in a pretty garden with a lake over the stream.We would recommend this gite.

    The property is extremely comfortable and very well equipped. The garden is totally private and the lake also is only accessed from the house. The setting is so peaceful. Surrounded by lovely scenery there are lots of opportunities to spot wildlife.
