About the host
Hosted by Sharon Woodall-Quinby
We love the slower pace and attitude to life in rural France and enjoy sharing that with our guests.
Why they chose this property
It was love at first sight even though the cottage was crumbling and the garden a jumble of weeds and rubble. The garden's starting to take shape as trees and shrubs begin to mature and every year brings a new plan together. I'm hoping for a wildlife pond this year - if only I can decide where to place it!
What makes this property unique
We're close to everything yet tucked away in a little corner of heaven, a perfect spot to enjoy the best of both worlds.
