You will be charged an additional cleaning fee (rate on request depending on the gite rented and the pet — the fee charged for a rabbit is lower than for a large dog, for example). The reason for not automatically accepting pets is that we have two dogs (Bobby and Holly - Bernese Mountain Dogs). They are two very cute females, but before we bring another animal to the property, we have to make sure everything goes smoothly. We keep our two dogs at home at the time of your arrival so as not to hinder those who feel uncomfortable with pets. Then they can go out into the garden if they wish (but they stay the vast majority of the time near us). If you're uncomfortable, don't hesitate to let us know. Inventory: We put the cottages at your disposal with all the amenities in good working condition and without damage. The list of amenities is included in the cottage rules. In the time of your arrival, please let us know if anything does not match this description. Without a review from you, the gite is deemed to be accepted as is. When you leave, for your comfort, we do not necessarily carry out an exit inventory visit. Please tell us anything that would have been damaged or damaged (dishes, furniture, building electrical equipment, etc.). We have one week to detect damage and ask you for compensation.
