    This cottage is decorated with so much care and attention that you will feel more than welcome. In the living room you can retreat with a book and there is a real houseplant! It therefore feels more like you are looking after someone's house than a vacation cottage. From the 'kitchen diner' you can look straight into the apple orchard through two sliding doors. We walked a lot, bakery and small supermarket within walking distance. It was a very nice week.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A wonderful week we were able to stay in this beautiful cottage. Apart from the birds singing it is quiet. You look out over an apple orchard and the nights here are still really dark. If you lay in bed you could hear the tawny owl calling.

    We didn't find the loft where there are 2 mattresses very safe for 2 children. But the master bedroom was big enough to put one of the mattresses there, so we solved that problem that way!

    A nice, quiet place in the middle of a sea of green meadows. The cottage is fully equipped (and has a wonderful bed!). We had a great time there!

    The cottage is simply furnished, but has a certain charm and offers everything you need. Upon arrival, everything was neat and clean, which gave a pleasant start. The owner was also easily accessible and responded kindly and promptly to questions.The bathroom is very small though and the towel rack hangs a bit in the way, but these are rather small practical points.The biggest point of concern is the moisture problem. Mold was visible in the living room and the whole house felt a bit clammy. There is a dehumidifier available, but since the electricity consumption is charged to the tenant, we did not use it. For people who are sensitive to air quality, such as myself, this did have a negative impact on comfort and sleep.The cottage certainly has potential, and if the moisture problem is addressed in the future, this can be a very nice place to stay for those who love peace, simplicity and nature.Landlord's comment:In periods of heavy rain, the humidity can be high in the living room and that is why a dehumidifier is available.This can increase the living comfort. The average electricity cost is 1 to 2 euro/day.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    We stayed in this nature house for a week and especially enjoyed its beautiful, quiet location. The cottage is located along a small French road, in the middle of the green, with a few neighbors here and there, but still plenty of silence.
    There is a bit less privacy. For nature lovers this is a really nice place, we even heard dwarf owls, which was a rare and special experience.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
