A fantastic rural gîte – peaceful, spacious, and ideal for families. The owners live nearby in a separate gîte but are friendly, helpful, and never intrusive. The shared heated pool was brilliant – we used it most days, even when overcast, and it stayed around 25C. The huge garden space is a real highlight, with swings, toys, footballs, a pétanque pitch, and a large BBQ area where we enjoyed cooking and sitting out playing cards in the evenings.The gîte itself is traditional and full of charm, with lovely brickwork, exposed beams, and a flexible sleeping setup – ideal for families. Kitchen and gas oven worked perfectly, and the shower was great with instant hot water from a recently fitted boiler.It’s in the middle of nowhere (in a good way), so bring everything you need. The nearest shop is around 10 mins' drive, with a couple of big supermarkets 20 mins away. There’s a small village nearby – ask the owners what day the market is on, it's worth a visit. We mainly cooked in, but there are restaurants in the area too.Wi-Fi was patchy at times, likely due to the thick walls, so we downloaded a French eSIM, which worked well. Actually, it was quite refreshing to disconnect. We streamed some Netflix on iPads – next time we might bring a mini projector and watch films outside by the BBQ
