Had a wonderful stay here, Marc was very welcoming. upon arrival we were greeted with a smile and a lovely bottle of wine. The house is beautiful, very modern and practical downstairs and very rustic upstairs. the garden is large and laid to lawn, ideal for the kids to run around, which they enjoyed. wonderful collection of books, dvd's and CD's. Board games, pens and paper for the kids. The wood burner made the evenings very cosy, The honesty fridge was delightful and extremely well stocked. prices are fair. We went out during the day to see the various markets and the war memorials, the local villages and towns are beautiful. Very clean (i cannot get over how clean everywhere was compared to our streets at home), lots to see and do. we never had nothing to do. Local people are extremely friendly and in our experience were great with our children offering tastes of chocolates and teaching a little of their language which the kids loved. We stayed in and cooked local produce for evening meals and watched dvd"s or played games, the kitchen is spacious and bright. there is ample crockery but could do with a full set of utensils and oven trays (we brought some disposable ones) Well stocked for cleaning up after ourselves also, everything you need is supplied even dish cloths and washing up liquid although there is a dishwasher too. use of washing machine and dryer was good, we truly had a wonderful stay here and will defiantly be back in the warmer months. my only disappointment was not being able to stay longer. Thank you marc and stein for a wonderful christmas stay.
