Our calming, rustic interior is fully equiped for self-catering, but we can still provide dinners on request, and will treat you to a fresh French breakfast each morning.

"Richard himself was a great guide and we learnt a lot about the birds we were seeing. He was so helpful in explaining how to recognise the particular species and I only hope that I will remember the lessons next time I spot an eagle or vulture!"

"Really nice gite with great garden. Quiet and lots of privacy. Rich and Yvette are great hosts. Rich has all the local knowledge you need and very helpful with providing information - whether it is sightseeing, walking or birding. Highly recommended!"
