We arrived very late after a long drive but the key had been left in a safe place for us to retrieve. Cindy came the next day but we don't speak French and Cindy didn't speak English and communication was via the translate app on the phone - some of the details / instructions were very difficult to follow. We had booked for 13 but unfortunately only nine of us were able to go and enjoy the lovely facilities - big kitchen, dishwasher, large patio area, swimming pool area - perfect for a large family group of mixed ages.Would recommend not arriving late so that a full check in was undertaken upon arrival to avoid any misunderstandings. A full translation of all the information on the property would also have helped. However it was a very welcome break in lovely surroundings.
