Liked: Ludovic was a great host, he sent us welcome messages prior to arrival and on meeting us gave a detailed tour of the facilities. Yes, we were the only couple on site but he made us feel at home. The site itself is eco friendly and quirky with little touches like home grown walnuts and a couple of free beers in the fridge. There is the option of inside shower/ toilet or for the brave an outside compost toilet and shower. If you prefer the Hilton Hotel go and stay in the Hilton! On speaking to Luovic(his English is very good)he has future plans for the facility building to be run 100% solar.
Disliked: My dog was not keen on the 2 cats!

Liked: We had booked this campsite purely on the basis that we required an overnight stop-off, somewhere in the area of Le Mans, for our return journey from South West France up to Calais. We were not really anticipating much, other than a pitch in a field, so what an absolute treat to arrive to a warm welcome from our host, Ludovic, who had made contact with us earlier in the day. The site is so peaceful, set within beautiful countryside. The facilities are rustic, possibly even basic for some peoples needs, but everything is clean and in good working order. We were even treated to some tomatoes from Ludovic's garden, and were told to help ourselves to any herbs or blackberries growing around the site. We also bought some fresh eggs from our host. We were so disappointed that our stay was only a short one. We will definitely stay at the campsite again, but for much longer! Thank you.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Beautiful surroundings, Ludovic was a very kind host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Great value for money, access to a fire pit with seating around it. An inside space with fridge freezer (2 complimentary beers were put aside for us!😊) Shower, toilet and a place to sit if the weather turns bad. Also a well established herb garden to help yourself to. Recommend the outside shower.
