“Excellent host, great location and a wonderful property”
The property was an absolute treat! We stayed as a family of four with two children, and it had everything we needed. The kitchen was neat and fully equipped with all the amenities, which made meals really easy. The host was incredibly helpful — we had an issue with our rental car, and they went above and beyond to help us get a repair vehicle organised. It really made a difference to our trip. The location was fantastic, with a delicious bakery just around the corner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Everything you needed was in it. Very clean and well thought through. The bathtub upstairs in the bedroom was very relaxing. Bathroom downstairs was very good. Lots of hot water.

“Cozy place for a stop for your long haul travels”
We stayed here for one night as part of a long trip over Europe. It was very good for a family of 6 (2 adults, 2 teenagers, 2 toddlers). As a bonus there was a very nice mountain sunrise view in the morning.

Super nice host and the house is amazing! We got a super nice dinner and had a super nice breakfast! We could even wash our dirty cloth in the washing machine and store our bicycles safely. Merci beacoup!

We are a couple of cyclist doing the EV6. The facilities are new, extremely clean and very large. Has a great shower, washing machine and all the amenities. No need to go to a store as she can provide beverages and something simply for an evening meal. Breakfast was superb. Madame speaks perfect English and couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable. Best accomodations out of eighteen consecutive nights across France. A beautiful peaceful, quiet rest.
