Overall very happy with our stay, and Carole and José were very helpful and friendly, but never intrusive.
Unfortunately, we found when we arrived, that the property listing was misleading, as there are only 5 toilets, not the 9 that you get if you add up all of the ones in the Rooms & Beds section, plus there are only 4 "proper" bedrooms, with a sofa bed in the lounge (not a problem for us as we were only a party of 7); you actually only get just under half the building shown in the pictures, as Carole & José occupy the rest, but the photographs are accurate in showing the rooms which form the accommodation.
We had temperatures in the high 20s, and the bedrooms were extremely hot overnight (a fan might have helped) and opening the windows was not an option, given the local insect life and the "frog chorus" from the adjacent lake. As mentioned by other reviewers, two of the bathrooms only have handheld shower heads, mounted at tap height, forcing you to either crouch down in the bath, or risk sending water across the bathroom (there's no shower curtain or screen).
We had to travel a fair distance for bread, unfortunately, as the boulangerie in La Bussière is closed, but found two excellent ones 50 yards apart, in Nôgent.
These issues aside, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay (the fresh eggs from the chickens were an unexpected bonus)!
