Harvinder

The room was spacious and generally ok but it was very cold. There was only one small heater in a large room with a kitchenette. The kitchen was ok, very basic and not so comfortable to cook. The owners were friendly when I checked in, they left the property after my check in. They didn’t respond to my phone calls when I tried to contact them about extra heating and Wi-Fi. There is absolutely no Wi-Fi at the property. Overall my stay was very uncomfortable as it was too cold, no Wi-Fi and no response from the owner but this place is in a very nice location, quiet and a lot of beautiful nature.

Moved to Different Location
We got moved to a different location that was thirty minutes away, but it ended up being fine for our case. The people were very welcoming even though they didn't know we were coming. We explained it and they kindly welcomed us and provided a fantastic French breakfast. I highly recommend it.

Straight from the horses mouth!
Lovely environment. The gentleman owner very pleasant and explained everything in good English. Breakfast was hot and fresh and the homemade jams delicious. I loved the horses, an added bonus for me as have owned my own in the past and the foal was very calm and friendly! Would recommend a stay here to anyone! 10 out of 10

A hidden gem in the French countryside.
This place is a hidden gem in the French countryside. It is at the end of the road and a little difficult to find. The room is modern, spacious, very comfortable and sparkling clean. The breakfast provided was ample and delicious. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The nearest restaurant is about 5 KMs away. The restaurant recommended by the host was excellent. A perfect stop-over for our journey from Paris to Normandy. It was extremely good value for money.

Poor experience
We had arrived by bike after a 70 km ride and we found the gate closed. The time was 4pm, as indicated on the booking for check-in, but the owner told us to come one hour late because he was not home. The room was dirty, and the fourth bed fell apart in the middle of the night and was not suitable for an adult person. Breakfast had counted items and at the request to have one extra croissant the answer was "no". The place does not offer any beverages for purchase. You have to drink tap water or go to a restaurant which is 10 km away. The swimming pool area and patio are partially under construction, they can be used but cables stick out in several places.
