Response from the owner thank you so much for your kind words. we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay in our farmhouse which, I think, is great for large family groups like yourselves. As you say, it is our family holiday home and I like to think the fact that it is not a soulless hotel room adds to its charm. We would love to welcome you back ! Best Wishes, Sue Mulcahy

Response from the owner Hi We are really pleased you had a good holiday in our French farmhouse. We like what you said about "space and atmosphere" and that it "exceeds all expectations". Most of our guests are large family groups like yours and they use it as a base to explore the area - like you did - or sometimes just stay in and enjoy the company of family and friends and make your own entertainment. We are sorry to hear you found the sofas dusty (it is difficult with the stone walls to keep everything dust-free) but we pay for the house to be thoroughly cleaned after each stay and I will have a word with the cleaners as to why you didn't find it in the way you should have done. We are pleased you had a good holiday in spite of this and hope you will consider us for your next holiday. Best wishes, Sue and Richard Mulcahy

“A great place to relax and play”
This is a great place for a family gathering. All the bedrooms are clean and comfortable - with loads of character. There are plenty of en suite facilities, a well equipped kitchen, the sheltered terrace for dining/BBQs; and more space than you could wish for, to run around and play games - plus a nice sized swimming pool. You don’t need to go anywhere else to relax or play, but if you fancy a drive to the coast, it’s easy. We had a great beach day in Fouras, some kayaking at St Jean Angely and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at L’Oree du Bois. Richard was very helpful with pre-travel information about the accommodation and local facilities.

“Even better than we imagined”
Really warm welcome received by our lovely host Richard. The accommodation was better than we expected, clean and of a beautiful standard. Away as a group of 17, it was important for us to have a good base for our holiday, and L’Oree du Bois did not let us down. Facilities were great, location was brilliant... what more could you want for a holiday.
