Review Submitted: April 05, 2008, Date of stay: August, 2007

Beautiful property, very clean and well maintained, fantastic breakfast. Owners very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended, great if you have children.Janice & Kurt

Owner's response:

We are pleased to say that Janice and Kurt's review reflected the comments that we were delighted to have had from our guests and are happy to confirm that we aim for a high standard in our attitude to all aspects of your stay.
If our guests are not happy then neither are we.
We pay special attention to cleanliness, with rooms being serviced daily and fresh linen and towels provided as required.
We aim to provide a relaxed atmosphere for our guests both inside and outside with ample seating areas, sun loungers, parasols and BBQ,s. We tend to find that with the friendly atmosphere our guests are happy to mingle, but there are lots of areas for those who like to sit and read quietly or just relax for a few minutes on their own. We love having children visit and have some pool toys for them and a small play area with swing and rope ladder.
We enjoy providing a hearty "petit dejeuner" for our visitors, with fruit and jams from our own garden and fresh croissants and pain daily from our local boulangerie.
Our guests especially appreciated the facilities for catering for themselves with the provision of a microwave oven, kettle, toaster and ample fridge space to store perishables and of course the BBQ's. This means you can relax around the pool all day, with the ability to prepare a snack on hand.
With a large salon to retreat to and a drink of your choice and wine in the evening, we hope to have looked after your every need, and look forward to seeing you this summer.

Joyce and Don.
