“If it is perfection you want, this house is it.” We all loved the swimming pool. The children loved all the games supplied. Siobhan was very helpful when needed. There were many places to visit not too far away.We used to eat all our meal on the patio enjoying the outside life to the full. The house was very clean and tidy for our arrival and a very useful welcome pack was waiting for us.The Flora and Fauna of the surrounding area was fantastic from the endless fields of Sunflowers to the resident Barn Owl. The only downside was two weeks wasn't long enough. Will certainly return.

“Fantastic House for a large group” We had a fantastic stay at Belle Maison. The house was perfectly equipped and large enough to hold the 5 children we had with us (all under 5). The enclosed garden meant they could run around and we didnt have to worry. The sandpit was a hit with the children, and the table tennis a hit with the adults. I would happily return as the surrounding area had plenty to offer, and the house was truely a home from home. Response: Thank you. This 3 family group and their beautiful children were a joy to have as guests.
