The dining room is also large, it accommodates up to 12-15 people with great views of the wilderness and a large green area next door. The rooms are big and beds comfortable. Bathrooms are modern with plenty of hot water and modern fixtures. I especially liked the wood cabinets which warmed up the room. Didier and Beatrice are a lovely couple, very attentive to the needs of their guests. They live next door and are available almost all the time in case they are needed. They are very accommodating to requests and go out of their way to make sure everything that's needed is supplied. The house is lovely, quiet and beautiful.

We settled down for the 27 euros prix fixe option which I admit was way too much food yet the quality of food was excellent.
