Abbaye Notre-Dame du Vivier - Le Bief du Vivier

The host was very quick to reply to questions. We arrived much later than expected due to a delay at Eurotunnel and this wasn't a problem, which was a relief. The gite is very unique and we appreciated the quiet, rural setting. There was plenty of parking

The bedlinen in at least one of the beds hadn't been changed since the last guests. There was also someone else's used towel on one of the beds when we arrived.

Établissement propre, accès facile avec clé d’accès endroit magnifique dans un domaine extraordinaire. J’y est séjourner avec mes garçons d’honneur un 10/10 je recommande

Tout était parfait

Pas de toilettes au rez de chaussée Propreté

We would like to start on a positive note: the stay had a unique location in a valley surrounded by beautiful nature and the abbey. In other words, the property has a lot of potential. However, we were quite disappointed by the hygiene upon arrival. We found hair in the shower and on the sheets, as well as insects and dust. It seemed as though the property hadn’t been cleaned in a while, which immediately took away the joy of what was meant to be a relaxing family weekend. After informing our host—who was friendly—we noticed that only the bathroom was cleaned somewhat afterward. For a weekend that cost €800, we expected to arrive in a clean environment and not have to start our holiday by cleaning ourselves. Our young toddler couldn't safely crawl on the floor, which was particularly frustrating. It feels like our standards of cleanliness are clearly different.
