    We really didn’t miss a thing. The cottage is very cozy, has everything you need, and plenty of space for our German Shepherd to run around. There’s an excellent veterinarian in the village. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and they also give you your privacy. Valence is one of the places worth visiting in the area. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it to others.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A beautiful spot, surrounded by nature. It was ideal for our dog because we could walk right into the adjacent forest. In the evening, you can hear the crickets and a tawny owl.

    The neighbors live fairly close by (just across the path) and have several cats; for dogs that have trouble with that, it will be difficult

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Well-equipped cottage, tastefully decorated. Low doorway to enter.

    - Response from the host
    The neighbor lives there alone and is a kind, quiet elderly man who causes absolutely no disturbance. His yard offers more than enough privacy, and the distance is much greater than the width of the path. His three cats aren’t a nuisance, and you hardly ever see them because they’re shy. The height of the entrance is 1.70.

    For us, it was a trip focused on hiking. It was too hot for that, but the morning was just fine!

    It's a really lovely little cottage! It has everything you need, it's a very pleasant place to stay, and Ineke and Rob take great care of their guests!
