Holiday home with garden

Unfortunately this property is not at all as described and we were very disappointed when we holidayed there in April 22. The gite we booked, looked lovely in the photos, it listed all the amenities we look for and in the listing it mentions paying for heating at a cost of 8 Euros a night. When we got to the gite, it was absolutely freezing, we were told we would be charged for electricity (no mention of the cost), no tv and the whole house smelt damp. There were electric heaters in the 3 bedrooms and also in the shower room and main bedroom en-suite, however, there is no heating in the living room, kitchen, toilet and corridors. We were told to light the fire which would heat the house. We did manage to light the fire despite being left no fire lighting equipment (for instance kindling/fire lighters/newspaper etc) but it made very little difference despite being on for 5+ hours. The living room and kitchen went from 13C to 16C and then the temperature started falling. We were so cold we sat with multiple layers with blankets around us. We slept in 4 layers, including having to wear thick jumpers to bed. By the second day and despite contacting the owners, we were miserable and we also started to feel unwell due to the extreme cold and damp, which is not what is hoped when you book a holiday especially at over 1,000 Euros cost! Hence we left and returned home to the UK, something we have never had to do in over 10 years of booking holiday cottages. I would not recommend this gite to anyone, which is a shame as the area, from what we saw, looked to be good to explore. I would also not recommend booking anything through Belvilla, due to their terrible customer service.

+ Accueil chaleureux, cadre magnifique et calme, gîte restauré avec goût - Chambres assez humides (odeur de moisi), pas d'activités sur place, pas de télé, micro-onde et étendoir auraient été pratiques Dans l'ensemble, un gîte agréable et recommandé! + Warme ontvangst, mooie en rustige omgeving, smaakvol gerestaureerde gîte - Kamers vrij vochtig (muffe geur), geen activiteiten ter plaatse, geen tv, magnetron en droogrek zouden praktisch zijn geweest Kortom een ​​aangenaam en aan te raden verblijf!

Immediately a pleasant feeling on arrival, the holiday start meets expectations!

We werden opgewacht en kregen een rondleiding, de omgeving is heel rustig en landelijk.

We were met and given a tour, the area is very quiet and rural.

We zijn erg vriendelijk ontvangen. We voelden ons gelijk erg welkom. Het huisje was prachtig. Het was net helemaal gerenoveerd en dat is erg smaakvol gedaan. Verder veel privacy en ruimte om het huis tot je beschikking. De kinderen (7 en 5) hebben genoten. Die hebben het hele domein verkent en zijn bijna de hele vakantie buiten geweest. De beide eigenaren zijn erg vriendelijk en attent en altijd hulpvaardig. En in de buurt is genoeg te doen. Diverse leuke stadjes en prachtige chateaux bekeken.

We have been received very friendly. We immediately felt very welcome. The cottage was beautiful. It had just been completely renovated and it was done very tastefully. Furthermore, lots of privacy and space around the house at your disposal. The children (7 and 5) enjoyed it. They have explored the entire domain and have been outside almost the entire holiday. Both owners are very friendly and attentive and always helpful. Various nice towns and beautiful chateaux viewed.
