Summary: Our family of 7 (including 10 & 13 year olds & a Nana) plus our 3 dogs, stayed in late July in this pretty, peaceful village. The owner was very welcoming and the house is so very well and generously equipped with everything you’d need and more! A beautiful, vast property with many lovely spaces to enjoy. We loved the gym, then the garden terrace for coffee in the morning; the outdoor dining room for breakfast then the pool during the day in the sun, and had several bbqs by the pool area. The cinema room was great of an evening to chill in watching a film. A very old property, very tastefully furnished, perfect for a couple of families. It is a historic site, so of interest to passers by at the front of the house, but this is not an issue. It is very safe as is completely walled, so our dogs raced around the large garden very happily with no fear of them escaping. There is a large trampoline, ping pong table, plus swings, slide and football nets, so the children were well entertained when not in the pool. The restaurant and wine bar in the village were lovely, both allowing our dogs to sit with us. We also visited the local Parc de Vallee, a little theme park, which was very reasonable and well worth a trip with our girls. We didn’t get to go on the river out the back of the property, but there are pedalos and kayaks available which we saw others using. A fabulous and restful break away which we would recommend highly. Thank you so much to our relaxed and generous hosts x
