Guest access Guests will have full access to the house, garden and pool. These facilities are not shared with anyone else. We do expect guests to be respectful of the property, not to litter the grounds, not to make too much noise that disturbs the neighbours in the village (sound travels) and to keep the house clean and tidy throughout their stay. Other things to note Please ask as many questions as possible before you book. We want families to enjoy their stay , a rural holiday in France won't suit everyone - ask and we will be honest! Please remember that we really are in the countryside - a car is essential, if you forget something at the supermarket it is a 25km round trip!! The boulangerie is 4km away. There is nothing in the village - neither shops or bars. Please ask if you are unsure as to our suitability for your group. The house is thoroughly cleaned before your arrival and everything will be in working order as we clean and check everything ourselves, if something is not quite right - tell us! You cannot charge your electric vehicle from our supply, it is against our insurance policy as it is a fire risk as we do not have a dedicated charging facility and also have a limited electricity supply. There are numerous charging facilities in the local town. No loud music, radio, parties, events or anything else that would cause a disturbance to the residents of the village, sound travels a long way in the countryside, the neighbours will call us and we will come to stop the disturbance. NO PETS . An optional cleaning service charge of 95€ can be paid for onsite, otherwise you must clean the cottage yourself. Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the house and if smoking outside you must use an ashtray and not smoke near open windows.
