Interaction with guest

we prefer to let our guests enjoy the privacy of the farmhouse and so we make a point of not bothering you on your holiday. There is a pool attendant that visits once a week (but they are quick and discreet and you probably won't know they've been!) Our house manager is only a few minutes drive away and she can be contacted if there are any problems or if there is an emergency. She is very helpful.

Response from the owner

thank you so much for your kind words. we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay in our farmhouse which, I think, is great for large family groups like yourselves. As you say, it is our family holiday home and I like to think the fact that it is not a soulless hotel room adds to its charm. We would love to welcome you back ! Best Wishes, Sue Mulcahy

Response from the owner

Hi We are really pleased you had a good holiday in our French farmhouse. We like what you said about "space and atmosphere" and that it "exceeds all expectations". Most of our guests are large family groups like yours and they use it as a base to explore the area - like you did - or sometimes just stay in and enjoy the company of family and friends and make your own entertainment. We are sorry to hear you found the sofas dusty (it is difficult with the stone walls to keep everything dust-free) but we pay for the house to be thoroughly cleaned after each stay and I will have a word with the cleaners as to why you didn't find it in the way you should have done. We are pleased you had a good holiday in spite of this and hope you will consider us for your next holiday. Best wishes, Sue and Richard Mulcahy
