Interaction with guest

We are available electronically if needed during your stay and have the most amazing housekeepers, who are English and live a few miles away, who have taken great care of Le Thou and our guests, when required for 8 years now. This is reassuring for you during your stay, but there is no intrusion and house and grounds are totally private. We always receive great feedback about them and feel lucky they are nearby for that extra reassurance during your stay.
