    Beaucoup d’excursions possibles depuis la maison.
    Très bonnes recommandations de sorties et restaurants de la part des propriétaires.
    La météo n’étant pas toujours très estivale, nous avons pu profiter des puzzles et autres jeux de société de la maison.

    En arrivant, le chemin un peu chaotique nous amène à une demeure extraordinaire !!! Une vue à couper le souffle et une sensation de bien-être très agréable. Cette sensation est renforcée par l'accueil de Dom et Liz qui sont vraiment des gens charmants. Attentionnés et discrets mais présents pour nous donner les infos de la région. Quand à la maison, elle est grande et très propre, les chambres sont accueillantes et la nuit est d'un calme !!!!!! Un plongeon dans la piscine chauffée par un système solaire est le bienvenu après une journée de randonnée. Bref un séjour dont on se souvient et que l'on a envie de recommencer...
