Vincent

The hostess and her husband were very warm and incredibly kind. I had to leave very early and couldn't have the included breakfast, so they packed it up for me to take with me. The croissant was fresh out of the oven. It's a great place to stay, I would recommend it to anyone.

We were warmly welcomed by Mickaël and Sandrine. The cottage is clean, spacious, and the evening meal and breakfast were very good. What's more, the cottage is very well located, right in the town centre and a 5-minute walk from the station. We highly recommend it!
