This was exactly what we needed - only stayed overnight but a short walk into town to pick up a few things. The kitchen was very well equipped with our own dishes and the lounge had a pool table. Property is very well maintained. I would recommend highly.

Petite petite chambre

Nous avions réservé un chambre avec deux lits mais nous n’avions pas prévu que nous ne pourrions même pas poser nos valises tellement elle était étroite. Les photos ne correspondent pas à la réalité. Par contre, le propriétaire est charmant et les la cuisine est très agréable et bien entretenue avec tout ce qui est nécessaire.
