Julie is on hand if you need her; experience shows she's a very useful font of local knowledge whilst her husband Pete is very handy in case there's any maintenance help needed during guests' stay. They're a small family of 3 plus their pet dogs and cats.
- Families only please. Max. 6 adults
- The bunk room in the photos is now a twin room (2021)

Service: Efficient booking service with good arrivals pack and info.
Product: Truly became home from home - extremely comfortable accomodation with everything you could possibly need. Fabulous location from which to explore the many delights of Acquitaine or simply chill by the pool. Great patisserie/shop round the corner for breakfast and top ups. Owners very friendly and happy to give excellent recommendations for things to do/places to eat and always available to help if required.
