Lovely farmhouse in a great setting. We travelled as a family group which included children and Grandparents. The accommodation had everything we could have wanted the hot tub and pool were great to relax in and everyone enjoyed the swimming pool. Garth was very helpful. We had a wonderful time and look forward to going back.

We spent a very comfortable week at this lovely farmhouse. It is in the middle of farmland so really is a get away from it all. The facilities in the house were good with a large well equipped kitchen, a lounge with comfy sofas, 4 good sized bedrooms, a great pool, jacuzzi, pretty garden and plenty of outdoor seating.
This property would be ideal for a family with children or as we were a group of friends looking for a relaxing week in France!

A ruby anniversary & a 65th birthday had to be celebrated somewhere special. Where better than Les Aubepines?
The house, garden, pool & hot tub are all of the highest quality, as are the furnishings and equipment. Our host Garth was always on hand if needed & was able to give good advice on all those little things to make a holiday go without a hitch.
The property is surrounded by scenic rural countryside & the neighbours are just as charming. The photographs on the website are great, so what a pleasant surprise to find that in the "flesh" the facilities were even better.
This is the place to really unwind & relax, but if you want there are many interesting places to explore in the area.
This is a holiday destination to be thoroughly recommended.
