Amazing place to stay in an amazing village

We had a tremendous time during our stay at this property. The house has all the modern comfort while conserving all of its original cachet. The village is a little hidden gem in the middle the beautiful French countryside.

A wonderful property for a family or group holiday

The house, pool and garden exceeded our expectations and we can thoroughly recommend it. The property is everything as described but the multiple flexible bedrooms, bathrooms and showers make it ideal for a family group. Those wanting quiet spaces had plenty of choice with landing alcoves or hammock in the garden or even the upstairs of the studio ( loved by our five little granddaughters as their den).Plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery and a huge pile of pool towels made coping with larger numbers so much easier. As a previous guest commented the beds are really comfortable and we enjoyed the quality sheets. Being able to walk into the village each day for our croissants, baguettes etc was an added bonus. Nick was very helpful beforehand answering any questions we had and when a couple of issues did arise Jackie dealt with them very promptly. We had a wonderful stay despite the weather being more unsettled than anticipated and can only speak highly of our whole experience in the renting of this lovely village property.

Well appointed house in a picturesque village

We had a lovely week in this property. The weather wasn’t great (just two properly sunny days) but there was plenty to do to keep us busy, and the heated pool meant we swam every day. The house itself is brilliant: lots of space both inside and out. We were a group of friends, and had three babies in our party. The two different living rooms meant one could become a play room with toys, and the other could be kept for adults to read or play games. The property manager, Lydia, was hugely helpful by offering up and dropping off her own family high chair in addition to the one at the property. As for the village: it was absolutely stunning. A quaint little village with the chateau at its centre and a river winding its way through the middle (we had a couple of swims in the river, which were lovely!). We did find it quite quiet (most shops were shut 1400-1600) but it had everything we needed. A 5 mins walk to get fresh pastries every morning, and the epicerie and butchers had enough staples to get by if we couldn’t be bothered to drive to the supermarket (enormous Le Clerc supermarket about 10 mins drive away). The wine shop/ bar was just lovely. We had a couple of hiccups with maintenance but found Lydia to be responsive and efficient at getting things sorted. One piece of hopefully constructive criticism, however, was regarding the temporarily broken boiler, which meant 2 out of 3 showers in the main house were out of action. Lydia got an electrician to fix it within about 36 hours of asking, which was great, but it was annoying having 13 adults sharing one indoor shower (plus one outside) and a bottle of wine or box of chocolates to acknowledge that would have gone a long way in engendering goodwill about the situation. All in all though a lovely holiday and a strong recommendation for anyone thinking of booking it.

An exceptional one!

The house of Nick and Tina is one that is exceptional to find when searching for a rental house in France. We stayed with 13 adults, the house is offering enough space, comfort and privacy to have a relaxing holiday with a larger group of friends/family. While some of us enjoyed the pool, others were having fun in the barn playing ping pong. In the evening, we spent time in the garden around the fire pit. The house is equipped with valuable furniture, fine decoration and most important, comfortable beds with bed sheets of excellent quality. It feels like home away from home. A place to return to. Big 'thank you' also for Jackie who welcomed us and was very responsive when we had a request. Belgian friends.

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful, well proportioned house within a very popular, well serviced village. There is plenty of space to congregate as a group or to find a little peace on your own. The village is tranquil and exceptionally scenic, composed almost entirely of rural historic buildings. The amenities are good so you will spill out into the bars and restaurants. The local roads are minor so there is plenty of opportunity to explore the surrounding villages and countryside on foot or bicycle
