Valérie was super helpful and her English is a lot better than my French! The "cottage" is really a villa on a fantastic plot that is not overlooked and has amazing views over the neighbouring vineyard next door. We couldn't believe how close we were to Bordeaux centre but felt like we were in the middle of the country.

The main room in the villa is a fantastic living space, the whole layout is really ideal with the bedrooms one end and the open plan living the other.

The pool was fantastic for the hot days, and my 3 & 6 year old's were quite happy spending most of the day in and out of it, though I recommend using the pool cover to keep the heat in the pool over night. Also recommended to have plastic pool shoes or sandals for the kids as the decking is real wood and can obviously splinter.

Would definitely stay there again.

Many thanks Dan
