Best of Both worlds

MMU UK
Review Submitted: November 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Located in the a small village but with the advantage of the bar, park, tennis court and the excellent meat/ baguette van but has all the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. Nick and his wife have got it the blend just right! They are charming host with lots of info on and around the area. 35 mins from the Château and wine tasting. Property was spotless, the huge master bedroom housed all 4 of us! Recommend the bar on Saturday night and the Michelin restaurant up the road, fraction of what you would pay in London. Great cycling paths and walks. They use another chemical in the pool, not chlorine so we spent endless hours in it! Hoping to return next year.
