The French House Reviews

Absolutely loved the peaceful vibe here!
Emily
We absolutely loved this beautiful cottage! The decor was really fantastic and gave it such a warm and inviting feel. Everything felt perfect for our getawayand we just felt at home. Can't wait to go back!
Clara
This cottage was absolutely fabulous! The location was perfect and we felt right at home. The decor was charming and cosyand we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches. Definitely hoping to visit again soon!
Mark
This cottage was absolutely fabulous! It was warm and cosy, with plenty of room inside. The kitchen might be a bit tight for seating six, but since there were only two of us, it wasn't a problem at all. The three bedrooms were really big, with loads of cupboard space. The two bathrooms were very warm and cosyand the showers were really hot and powerful. We were surrounded by lovely countryside and met some really friendly people. We had a wonderful few days there and would definitely recommend it for a lovely short break.
Daniel
It would be great if the company made it clear in the advertising that this was a wedding venue. We were really grateful for the upgrade to the barn since there were two weddings happening during our stay. Some of the facilities in the house could have been better. We had issues ranging from quite serious scalding hot water to more trivial things like a tricky kitchen that was missing a few basic items. The location was quiet and tranquiland the hot tub was well-maintained. We would definitely book again!
