    Can I give it 6 stars? The house is wonderful, the view is stunning, the pool is glorious and the hosts are awesome. We didn't want to leave. We were a family of 8 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. The sun room was wonderful in the mornings and the pigsty was great for lunch. The walk to Usson was a perfect distance and the view from the top was lovely.

    A lovely house in a lively location. We had 7 adults and 4 small children, so we didn’t venture far, except to the swimming lake at Vernet-la-Varenne which is great for kids and adults alike. The pool is great, warm and with a deep middle suitable for both children and adults. Bedrooms are comfortable and the 2nd floor ideal for the kids. We didn’t use the lounge or conservatory but spent most of our time by the pool or in the roofed area outside the kitchen. The roofed area is ideal for shade but would also be shelter in cooler weather. The hosts living locally also helped when we had a problem with the cooker which they address immediately. There’s plenty of space and the facilities are good. I couldn’t fault the place, it was ideal for our requirements.
