A spacious and eclectically styled house, with a mezzanine bedroom above the living space and two separate bedrooms. The pool table and the small swimming pool were a great success, though the younger ones were disappointed in the small tv and the Wi-Fi coverage that was very poor except in the hall nearest the hosts’ house.
We liked the BBQ and used this a few times, though it was a bit tricky to prop the grill up high enough on the bricks not to burn everything! The kitchen was somewhat basic with limited utensils, no chopping board etc.
Unfortunately there were many Asian Tiger mosquito’s which were ferocious and we were unable to open the windows during the day or night, or stay outside in the evening which meant that the lack of air con was a bit uncomfortable, although sharing out the two fans between us helped .
As we were travelling from the UK by plane we weren’t able to bring towels or bed linen, instead our host suggested they could provide these for €15 per person (€75 for our party of 5), the beds were made up when we arrived, though the towels / bed linen weren’t changed during our stay. We were asked to strip the beds at checkout.
Our hosts were friendly and accommodating and because they lived in the adjoining building were able to pop round if they wanted to communicate with us. They generously gave us a couple of nice bottles of red wine too!
Before we arrived I had asked what to do as we were arriving after 10pm and we were concerned about where to get food so late and our hosts had kindly offered to provide a mixed cold meat / cheese platter and a home made fruit tart (delicious).
Once we had arrived our hosts also offered to provide breakfast the next day, bringing coffee, several croissants, bread, some hard boiled eggs, butter and home made jam.
The food was fine, and we paid the €18 per head (the platter) and €10 per head (breakfast) when given the price the next day (€140 all together).
However, it would have been useful to know we could have used Uber Eats as they delivered and that the boulangerie was a short walk away.
On departure our hosts were very helpful in finding us a taxi and also letting us stay a bit longer than normal checkout, till 1pm.
Overall this was a good location, near the tram straight into Bordeaux which we used a lot! There were two good supermarkets and a shopping centre a 30 minute tram ride and a 5 minute walk away and the chemist and boulangerie were a 10 minute walk.
I think this accommodation is great for a family, but probably better to drive than fly as it would be easier to bring sheets, towels and other essentials, especially mosquito spray / bite cream and a few kitchen basics.
