From the owner

This is a beautifully converted Coach House situated in the hamlet of St Aubin de Bonneval - offering a quiet, safe and family friendly environment for a totally relaxing and stress-free holiday.

The Coach House is very spacious, conveniently arranged for family living and furnished to a high standard. Exposed beams and wood floors lend warmth and charm to the cottage atmosphere. This accommodation has a large secluded rear garden with outdoor dinning terrace and barbecue facilities, and fronted by a driveway with private parking for 2 cars

The Coach House is part of - but secluded and totally separate from - the old village Priory where its English owners live. The Priory's beautiful shetland pony and Lorraine donkey are your only visible neighbours (greeting you every morning over the garden fence) And the owners are always on hand (if required) to offer local knowledge, help and advice.

Owner's reply:
Dear Michael Thanks for the positive review (caveats noted). We also appreciated how your wife and mother-in-law went out of their way to express to us just how much they enjoyed their stay in the cottage and appreciative of its ambience. I apologise for the damp problem that arose - it was not evident during the previous two week rental and had obviously manifested itself during your stay. Had you drawn to our attention to it it would have been rectified immediately - therefore we only became aware of it during the change-over cleaning period after you left. On investigation it seemed there was a faulty systern in the loo that was causing an overflow problem and we changed the complete unit immediately. Also taking note of your comment about the crockery and utensils, we have now installed a dishwasher so that there can be no future debate about levels cleanliness. And finally, as a fisherman myself, I'd like to defend my fellow piscators and assure you their standards are no less than anyone else's. (said with a smile :-) Best wishes to you and the family Kim and Kadi
