...Mix of modern and traditional...
“Had a great week in the 1 bed roomed gite! Quiet location in a beautiful area. Rooms finished to a high standard mix of modern and traditional! Loads to see in the area however would definitely recommend renting a car. Owners are very friendly. Could not recommend enough.”
Sam Barnard, Facebook Review
...Spacious and beautifully maintained...
“We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The 3 bedroomed gite was brilliantly equipped with all you require for a self catering holiday and was very comfortable. Carol and Martin are lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome and their pizza night with the other guests was a great fun event. The pool area is spacious and beautifully maintained. We would highly recommend as a great place to come on holiday.”

...Everything you could possibly need...
“Just returned from a lovely one week stay in the 2 bedroom Gite, Verre. The Gite is very well equipped, from a fully stocked kitchen to an iron & ironing board there’s everything you could possibly need – even a cool box & ice packs for days out. We made good use of the private bbq and shared outside space as the kids loved to play table tennis & table football in the barn.”
