Harvinder

The room was spacious and generally ok but it was very cold. There was only one small heater in a large room with a kitchenette. The kitchen was ok, very basic and not so comfortable to cook. The owners were friendly when I checked in, they left the property after my check in. They didn’t respond to my phone calls when I tried to contact them about extra heating and Wi-Fi. There is absolutely no Wi-Fi at the property. Overall my stay was very uncomfortable as it was too cold, no Wi-Fi and no response from the owner but this place is in a very nice location, quiet and a lot of beautiful nature.

Moved to Different Location
We got moved to a different location that was thirty minutes away, but it ended up being fine for our case. The people were very welcoming even though they didn't know we were coming. We explained it and they kindly welcomed us and provided a fantastic French breakfast. I highly recommend it.
