    Taken from a Facebook Review:
    “We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The 3 bedroomed gite was brilliantly equipped with all you require for a self catering holiday and was very comfortable. Carol and Martin are lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome and their pizza night with the other guests was a great fun event. The pool area is spacious and beautifully maintained. We would highly recommend as a great place to come on holiday.”
