  • What an amazing place! The hosts Jim and Gilles are outstanding! So welcoming! The facilities are first class and an amazing ambience! Definitely a gem of a place for a getaway! The breakfasts are the best ever! Never tasted such good poached eggs! We will be back šŸ˜˜ Thank you šŸ™ Jim and Gilles

  • In the evening, we had the most AMAZING meal cooked for us. It was genuinely one of the nicest meals Iā€™ve ever eaten, just absolutely stunning food. We relaxed, enjoyed one anotherā€™s company (and the company of our hosts). It was the perfect end to our holiday.

  • The owners Gilles and Jim are fantastic and really looked after us. It felt like a home from home. The accommodation is tasteful and the family room set up was perfect for us. The kids enjoyed the tractors, new playground and pool, plus the toys and books that were placed inside their room. The food was also delicious and something we all looked forward to daily. They were even kind enough to accommodate different meal times for the kids. We will be back next year!

  • The most fabulous ā€œlittleā€ (itā€™s a grand chateau) house in the south of France! Perfectly located for a lovely stroll through the town or down to the river.
    Perfect driving distance, with beautiful views of the rolling country side, to all the near by historic medieval towns. Beautiful architecture and stunning churches nestled in between lovely quaint little cafes. Everything was clean and beautiful and carefully thought out! Our host was amazing! Canā€™t wait to go back and visit again!
