Your Hosts
La Grange du Saule is owned and hosted by Neill and Karen, we reside on the premises in a converted farmhouse totally seperate from the gîte with our two cats, Sassy and Totsi.
After years of careful planning, we relocated from England to Marval and promptly commenced the establishment of the Gîte. After renovating the existing barn into a comfortable and peaceful haven, we are looking forward to sharing this delightful property and welcoming guests.
Guest Comments
Thank you for an amazing summer holiday! Our family of 6 has enjoyed the pool, the gite, the beautiful gardens and not least your great location for outings. We especially loved the nearby restaurant "La Grange du Lac" with the dining opportunities, the great dinners and the activities by the lake.
My husband and I always go for morning swims and every single day, the pool area was clean and perfect!
We will be back next year !
