Large family gathering
We had our usual annual family gathering with 3 generations ranging from 1 year old to 75. We used the entire place for a full week. We are very familiar with the quirks of older homes and this was in line with what we expected, particularly for this price point. The owner/caretaker Giles lives on site in a separate building. He was very accommodating albeit a little too present to our taste. The property offers a lot more than in the description: ping pong table, access to the river and it is in the middle of town with easy access to everything. There is no bakery in the village, but there is a bread dispensing machine with surprisingly decent baguettes (even for a French family like ours). Our teenagers had a blast, for little ones it was a little tricky from a safety standpoint and not very relaxing even with a full tile babysitter round the clock, but overall without incident. If you have little ones, know that you’ll be setting a lot of rules and monitor them acutely (there is notably a fountain at ground level (no walls) in front of entrance and the walls of the terrasses are too low to prevent fall during play). Despite setting up ground rules with our kids we had to monitor the little ones constantly (allways needed an adult with them outside). Overall this worked well for our large family and we had a very pleasant stay.
