Quiet accommodation, very well equipped
Gabriel uit Montargis (FR) schreef in August 2026 op AirBnB :
A very pleasant stay. Quiet, very well-equipped, and clean accommodation. The outdoor spaces are perfectly suited for a large group with children: a large, sheltered terrace, a fully renovated swimming pool, a petanque court, and playground equipment for the children.
Thank you for your hospitality and your quick responses to our messages.
We all enjoyed the stay and would love to come back again.
The children had a great time

Everything was perfectly fine, everything was there, even 2 dishwashers 😉. The house was ideal for a larger group. The kids had a great time and there was plenty of room for everyone. Definitely recommended!
What a fun family weekend!

What a lovely family weekend we spent at L'homme de l'epine! There is plenty of space, and it is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The swimming pool and the large covered terrace complete the holiday feeling. The kitchen, bathroom facilities, and beds are in good condition and perfectly maintained. The surroundings are also very beautiful and peaceful. Everything is provided, and you are completely taken care of. The instructions and information are very comprehensive.
