Le confort de la chambre et l'accueil des personnels

Si le petit déjeuner était copieux, nous aurions sans doute préféré des fruits moins nombreux mais pas "sous-vide" et plutôt de meilleure qualité au regard du prix de l'hébergement. Pensez à mettre un rideau sur la fenêtre de la.douche pour une intimité de qualité.

Le petit-déjeuner était très bon et copieux. le personnel adorable

8.0

Séjour au calme dans un environnement agréable, avec un long chemin tout-terrain menant au logement et une proximité appréciable avec le parc. Il est toutefois préférable de disposer d’un véhicule adapté pour accéder facilement au site.

Point négatif : la piscine n’était pas accessible durant notre séjour et son état de propreté laissait à désirer.
