Clean and tidy. Couch was so comfortable. Owner left a bottle of wine to welcome us. Lots of board games left for us to play. we had a week long Monopoly marathon. We enjoyed to wood stove, even when not needed. Close to beaches and village. Only looked at reviews on the day we were going, (admittedly a bit late) found a previous review that wasn't great but thought it was unfair to be honest.

The garden was great for our dog to run around in.

Ce gîte mériterait d'être mieux équipé en vaisselle. Nous n'avions pas l'intention de cuisiner beaucoup, mais nous avons du renoncer à acheter un homard, faute de récipient pour le faire cuire. La lampe de chevet de la chambre de derrière a un fil trop court pour atteindre la prise. Au moment de faire le ménage, nous avons constaté que l'aspirateur était un peu "poussif"
