Extracts from independent reviews on Trip Advisor

“The gite was situated in the centre of a very friendly village. Everyone would wish you 'bonjour' as you went to the village shop to get your morning pain au chocolate. The property was full of French character and charm but with all modern conveniences and a lovely private courtyard. The owners Peter and Felicity were very helpful and friendly. .. It was a very enjoyable introduction to French village life.”

“Sympathetically renovated old village house situated in centre of village, retaining many original features. It has bags of character and space but also well-appointed with good modern, well equipped kitchen and 2 excellent modern bathrooms. Excellent area for eating outside. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

“A very "French" experience for two Aussies, exactly what we were looking for..”
