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.

Très bon accueil, hôte chaleureux et qui donnent de bons conseils pour visiter le coin.
Le cadre est magnifique avec les chevaux, la vue et le gîte est cosy.
Le petit déjeuner est copieux et ouvre l'appétit même si on a pas l'habitude de manger le matin et servi jusque 11 heures.
Endroit très calme, on entend pas les autres visiteurs.
Un bonus pour la déco de la chambre.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Mon séjour était malheureusement très court mais j’ai énormément apprécié mon temps ici. L’endroit n’étais pas trop loin de la route principale tout en restant intime et calme. Les terrains étaient très beau. La chambre était spacieuse et propre, avec tout ce dont j’avais besoin après une longue journée. J’ai adorer recevoir mon déjeuner au lit le lendemain, une belle attention y fût donner. Bref, je recommande fortement cette établissement!
