8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
We just had a lovely stay at the holiday home. We completely fell for Bella, the sweet German Shepherd who charmingly greeted us by the pool – she was truly affectionate and friendly.The property itself is decorated in a charming, slightly older style, which creates a cozy atmosphere. We really appreciated the generous access to basic necessities like spices and oils, which makes a big difference when you arrive at a new place.We chose to rent linen and towels, but were a bit surprised to have to make the beds ourselves. It was a minor detail, but worth noting. The cleaning of the house before arrival could be more thorough. On the other hand, the property was very private and quiet, which contributed to a relaxing vacation.The host was good at providing recommendations based on their own experiences, which was extremely helpful, as the town has no shops, so you have to drive for everything. While the immediate area might not be known for it, the wider region offers fascinating World War I history (such as in Verdun) and the opportunity to enjoy delicious champagnes.All in all, we had a good stay at the property, which is an ideal place for those seeking peace and privacy, and who don't mind driving for shopping and activities.

Sometimes you just need to slow down and relax a little ! The Hunting Lodge provided just the right spot. Early countryside morning walks followed by lazy afternoon reading by the fireplace was just what we were looking for ! Wonderful Holiday stay. Ready for 2024 !

A perfect end to a European vacation, if you are looking for long relaxing walks or bike rides through quiet French villages and countryside this is it. The property is beautiful and accommodations are as advertised. As mentioned in other reviews be prepared to climb stairs to the bed rooms, however I found the space and bathrooms quite comfortable.
