Guest Reviews
- Patrick (8/5): - Location and breakfast
- Michele (7/5): -
- Nine (6/5): -
- Odile (8/5): Séjour agréable au calme - Lieu cosy , en pleine nature , près d un champ de lavande .
- Hanka (5/5): - It's a cute little cottage in lovely landscape.
The yoghurt we got was very good! Breakfast is promised with fresh bread & jam - we got the bread, but no jam with it.
Kitchen is not sufficiently equipped to provide for yourself: We were a group of three people, but only had 2 forks, 2 knives, etc... no spatula to do even the simplest cooking, etc...
The plug-in heater in the cottage almost caught on fire when we plugged it in.
This place could be lovely if it were better looked after.
- Terran (9/5): Beautiful calm spot away from the town to recharge amongst the lavender and birdsong - Lovely location , nice distance away from town and beautiful lavendar gardens next door to visit for free. Plenty of room, nice outdoor shower as well as bath for that natural vibe! Fresh egsgs, bread provided and milk/orange juice more if needed. Good wifi etc. 10 min max drive easy road to town.
- Jill (9/5): Our Host - was super..... Nice. Funny. Smart, very likeable - Fresh homemade bread Had a leak in the bathroom during a major rain storm
- Alice (8/5): It was a quiet spot. The fresh eggs and homemade yogurt was very good. Good breakfast for price. - Very quiet spot. Dirty outside tub
- Stacy (7/5): Helpful friendly host who provided home made bread, yoghurt, muesli and eggs for breakfast - Peace quiet Outdoor furniture

- Regina (9/5): Superb - Fantastic location with a lot of character and quirkiness among stunning lavender gardens and farm animals. Super nice and welcoming host. Loved the breakfast with freshly baked warm bread and self made yoghurt. Thoroughly enjoyed the Lavender infused outdoor bath.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay
- Julie (8/5): Very good -
- Lois (6/5): Pleasant - Private setting. Rustic interior. The bathroom was very small and in need of renovation.
- Rebecca (3/5): Poor - The orange juice Most of it
- David (1/5): Bad - Breakfast No tv
- Carole (7/5): Lovely - Breakfast was okay but struggled with the tricky stairs when needing to use the bathroom overnight Tricky stairs
- Keith (7/5): Ok - The dog Price
- Maria (8/5): - Host Myra was very warm and hospitable. She served us a scrumptious breakfast of freshly baked baguettes, jam and yogurt 😋
- Tiffany (6/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Unique little cottages on a lavender farm. Views of the mountain & great hospitality. Thanks
- Dave (4/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Dylan’s cottages - What an idyllic setting for a lovely stay. Beautiful.
