Virginie July 31, 2023 General rating:Nature, peace & environment:We were warmly welcomed into Sue's home and had a wonderful time. Set in beautiful countryside, the gite is very clean and well equipped. It's not centrally located, but you can get to the freeway very quickly, which serves the south and west coasts. This place has all the peace and beauty you need to recharge your batteries.
Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis chez Sue et nous y avons passé un moment extraordinaire. Dans un paysage magnifique, le gîte est très propre et bien équipé. La situation n est pas centrale mais on rejoint très vite l'autoroute qui dessert la côte sud et ouest. Il y a dans ce lieu toute la quiétude et la beauté permettant de se ressourcer.
