Wonderful

Erica and Tony (the caretakers) are lovely people and were very helpful. However, the whole place looks quite run down. The gite smells damp and musty. The tiles in the living room are either cracked or loose and the grouting is missing on quite a few. The sofas smell really bad. You don't want to sit on them. I am sure it was very nice when the owners still had some interest in the place. That does not seem the case anymore. Outside there is weed growing everywhere and on the second night we couldn't sleep in our room due to the fact that there was a large nest of flying ants in a hole in the wall by the window on the inside and they decided to hatch that night. There were ants flying around the room! We had to sleep in my son's room in his bed and he had to sleep in the bunk bed. Which with his height of 1.85 m tall is not easy. The fridge-freezer had not been defrosted in some time which meant that the ice cubes got stuck and were flying towards us when we opened the door. We cut our visit short by one day for personal reasons, however I doubt we will stay here again. A real shame as the place has huge potential. Once again I have to say that Erica and Tony were absolutely lovely and it is not their fault that the place is in such a state. At nearly 360€ for 3 nights I would have expected more.

Quelques jours en famille très agréables ou nous avons bien profiter de la piscine. Très bine pour des vacances calmes et champêtres.
Bonjour,
A notre arrivée personne pour nous accueillir à 13h .
Une fois entré ont constate qu'il n'y à pas de cafetière n'y micro-ondes alors que c'est noté dans l'annonce juste dvd pratiquement tous en anglais. Heureusement ERICA ET TONY on etait tres reactif et nous on apporté micro-ondes et cafetière.
Il serais bien de revoir votre annonce Msherly
Heureusement ERica et
Voor de 2e maal verbleven we in dit vakantiehuisje, super ontvangst en goede zorgen van Tony & Erica die ons verblijf nog aangenamer gemaakt hebben ! Ideeal vakantiehuisje met zwembad in een mooie ligging ...tot volgend jaar !!
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen, wenngleich das Wetter nicht optimal war. Bei bestem Wetter ist die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall super: Am Pool kann man sich gut und gerne den ganzen Tag aufhalten, auch gehört zu jedem Ferienhaus eine BBQ-Ecke mit Grill. Der Ort an sich ist sehr klein und liegt sehr beschaulich. Bis zum nächsten Supermarkt sind es rund 15 Minuten mit dem Auto. Bis zur Atlantikküste sind es rund 60 Minuten. Alles in allem: Spielt das Wetter mit, kann man hier eine gute Zeit verbringen. Platz und Ruhe sind da, die Verwalter sind sehr nett und das Haus besticht durch einen großen historischen Charme in naturreicher Umgebung.
Everything you could want/need from a home from home. Own patio with furniture, lovely clean pool even somewhere for dogs to cool down. No secure but surrounded by farm land so safe. We had a lovely stay. When we said we were Grand Prix fans the satellite TV was sorted so we could watch. Cheers. We were the first for this season hence it was not up and running.
Nous étions dans le gite "La Ferme", très agréable : les pièces sont grandes, confortables. La piscine est sympa. Quelques jeux à disposition. Le coin barbecue est à l'écart et à l'ombre. La présence des autres gites ne nous a pas gêné. Il manque juste un four à micro onde.
Linda et son mari à notre arrivée ont été très agréable.
Pour nous location pas adaptée
Manque WIFI, télévision anglaise, et très vieille, pas de micro onde même si après demande on nous l’a donné, couchage moyen lit trop petit, je mesure 1m80, les pieds dépassent du lit, aucun robot pour nettoyer la piscine, manque des chaises de repos sur cette dernière, vaisselle très légère, pas de bols, une poêle pour faire une omelette pour 2 …aucune sécurité sur les fermetures fenêtres et portes d’entrées
Pour le prix, vous trouvez nettement mieux ailleurs.
Une excellente base pour visiter la région et profiter du calme et de l'authenticité de la propriété, avec en prime une piscine agréable et des hôtes (Erica et Tony) hyper sympas et au petit soin, merci à eux !
