Host Myra was very warm and hospitable. She served us a scrumptious breakfast of freshly baked baguettes, jam and yogurt 😋

There was a dog and we were able to bring ours which was great. the owners were friendly. The location was beautiful and convenient. The house was too small for 4 adults, especially given the cost. Things like kitchen utensils need upgrading.

Thank you for the feedback. We do provide comprehensive photographs and size information so people can decide if the cottage composition is right for them. I would really appreciate a bit more specific information on what you feel needs to be upgraded. The cottages are essentially for B&B with the ability to make simple meals at other times. Buster enjoyed having someone to play with. Hope your son recovered quickly and you enjoyed the remainder of your holiday.

Property described as containing a queen, one twin and a double sofa bed. Actually a queen, one single bed and a double sofa bed. Overall accomodation is run down and overly expensive for what is offered. Some nice touches but the basics aren’t up to the standard required.

Hi Dave, I understand your issue. We described the property to Expedia as having 1 Queen, 1 Single and 1 Double sofa bed. However, Expedia economise on their descriptions and you have thus been misled. Perhaps you could contact us directly with what you feel needs to be updated. I am always open to suggestions and other viewpoints.

Amazing getaway spot
This was just simply wonderful. An outdoor bath under the stars, super comfortable cottage, friendly hosts and freshly baked bread in the morning. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Very Overpriced
Myra was a very nice host and she has a lovely lavender store which I highly recommend. Cabin is very run down and way too expensive for what it is. Was not clean and the dishes were dirty but Myra did give us a credit to help make it up to us. Was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. No wifi.

We're sorry there were things you felt were not as they should have been. Apart from the two glasses which were marked could you please help us by identifying the other issues. We do prefer people to highlight issues at the time so we have the opportunity to rectify them. The bedroom was repainted 2 days before you arrived. We have plans in place to upgrade both the kitchen and bathroom.

Great hotel close to town
Beautiful little cottage on a lavender farm, secluded, friendly owners and lots of thoughtful touches. We got brought homemade bread and fresh eggs each morning. In the cottage we stayed at there was also an outside bath and shower as well as the one in the cottage, to enjoy a nice lavender scented bath out in nature! We will be back for sure! Thanks
