Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Good value close to town

The house is a 15-20’ walk from the center. Difficult to communicate with the lady (no French, little English) but her husband speaks fluent French. Excellent breakfast, clean and spacious room.
