Fantastic views of surrounding area (from outside of the building). Very peaceful. Very good evening meal but flies everywhere.

No window in room expect small skylight in ceiling (especially annoying owing to the inability to see the fantastic views!) Room layout was 2 story with a steep, high ladder leading up to a balcony area where the children's 'camp' style beds were. With young children this was not ideal as the wooden stair was very steep, and the only light switch for this area was at the top of the stairs. So the children would have had to get out of bed in the dark and approach the open stair to find it. If this layout had been made clear we would not have booked this accommodation. Room, although clean, was very basic and looked very "used". ie. it looked as if only the bare essential room maintenence had been undertaken. Shower area particularly was in need of attention (ie. a good clean of the tiles) - This cannot be excused as "Typical French rustic charm"! Dinner was made a bit of an ordeal by the number of flies in the dining area - we resorted to covering dishes with our napkins to protect it whilst eating. We refused to eat the breakfast owing to the bread, butter, jam etc. being left out on tables for guests, completely uncovered, without any consideration to the many flies (as we witnessed) sitting on it.

Overall: I'm sad to say that such a fantastic location was badly let down by, what appeared to be, a certain lack of care and no consideration for protection from flies. This issue could be easily addressed with only a beaded curtain over the, always open, front door. Lids on jam, butter pots and covers over the bread etc (eg.kitchen towel would have sufficed!)  (97221317)

Selbst für ein 2-Sterne Unternehmen ist die Austattung eher dürftig. Das Lichtangebot im Zimmer ist nicht ausreichend (für die vorhandenen Lampen zu wenig Steckdosen), Bei den sanitären Einrichtungen ist der der Eigenbau nicht zu übersehen.
