Peaceful village cottage

Chantal was a delightful owner who lived next door and was most helpful whenever needed. Had multi channel tv so able to watch QE II funeral in English. Spacious character accommodation with two sitting out areas. Welcome “pack” with cake, coffee and tea with other extras provided. Most enjoyable stay in an area with many charming villages and historic abbeys.

Sehr angenehme Urlaubsunterkunft

Ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für ruhige Erholung und Erkundung der vielfältigen Umgebung. Das Ferienhaus ist gemütlich und gut eingerichtet, die Küche (wie üblich ohne Gewürze u.ä.) ungewöhnlich gut ausgestattet. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin ist reibungslos und unkompliziert; sie hat alle Fragen und Probleme sofort gelöst. Ausserdem hat mir ihre große Diskretion gefallen.

La gite de Gravee

Easily booked plus Chantal Blais was very quick at responding to questions I had. Lovely gite with plenty of space. Can easily accommodate 6 people, 2 being children, and was very well equipped. Situated in a very quiet village with no shops, it was necessary to have a car to get supplies, etc. Chantal was very helofuk and was able to speak to us in English, and was gappy to gelo us soeak French. Very enjoyable experience.

8/10 Good

LOvely, quiet spot for a holiday.

Chantal Blais is a most welcoming host and the house is very spacious with lots of options for eating outdoors, which we did every evening that we were in. Comfortable beds and excellent bathroom facilities, although a shower curtain is needed in the room with a bathtub. Lots of equipement in the kitchen - most of it not used, but a garlic crusher and a potato masher would have been handy! All in all, a very pleasant stay and good value for money.
