  • Towels and bed linen are provided at no extra charge. We provide a welcome pack for new guests which includes milk, coffee, tea, bread, butter, cheese and a bottle of wine.
    All gas and electricity used during your stay is included in the holiday price.
  • If there is availability, we will accommodate short mid-week or weekend bookings. If you are considering house buying in France, now could be the time to do so. It is apparent that prices are rapidly increasing and the French population having realised the number of Brits buying and renovating, are now doing the same themselves! 'If the Brits can do it - so can we' seems to be the trend we are noticing. We can assist in pointing you in the right direction for estate agents and Notaires as required.
  • We regret we are not able to accommodate pets.
