Bed
& Breakfast FAQs
Is smoking allowed
within the main house?
For the comfort of ourselves and our other guests smoking is not
allowed anywhere within the main house. Smoking is permitted in the
gardens and sand buckets are available for your cigarette butts.
Are bedding and towels
provided?
All bedding and towels are provided.
Are the rooms en-suite?
Our two guestrooms have vanity units fitted and although a shower is
not available in your room you have guest only access to a luxury
hydro-massage shower and wc. Note: As is typical in this region our
waste water is handled by a fosse septique (septic tank) which is unable
to deal with certain types of disposable waste. Sealed bins are provided
for ladies feminine hygiene products and we ask that only the paper
rolls provided are used with the wc.
Do you have disabled
facilities?
Our guestrooms and shower room are located upstairs and the house itself
is elevated and accessed via steps so unfortunately we would not easily
be able to cater for a wheelchair bound guest for example. We aim to be
as flexible as possible and you are more than welcome to contact
us to discuss your requirements
My teenage son/daughter
is coming with us and doesn't want to share our room.
How would a second room be charged to us?
You would have to pay the full price for the room as if it is
occupied even by one person it prevents us from letting the room to
other guests.
We have a small baby,
will this cause any problems?
We have no facilities for infants so you would have to bring your
own baby care equipment with you.
We would like to order
the evening meal but do we have to pay 20 euros for our 9 year old?
No, not at all. We're happy to discuss suitable arrangements for our
young guests meals with you.
Gite
FAQs
Is smoking allowed in
the gite?
For the comfort of future guests smoking is not allowed anywhere
within the gite. Smoking is permitted in the gardens and sand buckets
are available for your cigarette butts.
I've heard mention of
these but what is a fosse septique?
As is typical in the region, our waste water is handled by a fosse
septique otherwise known as a septic tank. It is a natural system
whereby waste water and effluent is directed deep underground to a
special soak-away where beneficial bacteria process the waste. The
system is highly efficient however it is unable to deal with certain
types of often termed 'disposables' and sealed bins are provided for
ladies feminine hygiene products. We ask that only the paper rolls
provided in the Gite are used with the WC. No bleach products should be
used either with the WC or down the sinks at all! It's really not as
grotty as it may first sound and special, environmentally friendly
cleaning solutions are used.
Are bedding and towels
provided?
All bedding is provided in the cost of the gite rental, towels are
available and the gite has it's own washing machine.
Will I be hit with a
'surprise' electricity or gas bill at the end of my stay?
Absolutely not! When we came on holiday house hunting we stayed in a
Gite and we're hit by a surprise electricity bill at the end of the stay
which was actually higher than the gite rental! Electricity and bottled
gas is included
in the rental of the gite. As such we do ask that our guests try to
avoid unnecessarily leaving lighting etc switched on when not in use. In
the winter months firewood is available for a small charge.
What if I break
something in the Gite?
We're only human and appreciate that accidents can and will happen
from time to time. Because of this we ask for a 150€
euro (approx £100GBP) deposit on your arrival that we will hold for the duration of your
stay. Any damages will be taken from this deposit and the remainder
returned to you when you depart. (Please note that any damages in
excess of the 150€
euro deposit will be invoiced to your home address.)
Is the Gite available
for stays of less than 3 days?
For a short stay we would recommend you stay with us in the main
house as a Bed & Breakfast guest. The turn
around of the gite between guests is time consuming and not commercially
viable for a stay of less than 3 days, however you may contact
us to discuss alternative pricing.
