Le Mouton

We chose this property for its location and it looked quirky, which appeals to us. The dinner was well cooked, with an interesting selection of dishes. The 2 elderly dogs were delightful, as were the many frogs in the pond.

While undoubtedly old, the property is now in need of some tlc, bearing in mind the price. I had to tighten a screw in the toilet cistern, as the flush didn't initially work. The toilet seat had lost a screw and was coming adrift. There were 2 sinks in the bedroom, but neither had plugs. When I asked for one, in order to wet-shave, I was told that plugs are not used in France; that came as a surprise after 30 years travelling the country! The evening meal, although tasty, was pricey, at 48 Euros per person. It would have been helpful to have this information available at the time of booking, as it would have made a difference to our plans. The wine was free-flowing (accounting for the cost, no doubt), yet my wife is not a big drinker, and only had a small glass and a kir. In addition, she requested a dessert, but it never materialised. Normally technology wouldn't bother us, but as a close relative is terminally ill it was important for us to be able to keep in touch during our stay. We asked for the Wi-fi code several times, but were told it was free and we didn't require a code. Sadly we couldn't connect.
