A l'Orée du Bois - Family - Entre lacs et montagnes

😊: The views were fantastic. The property was clean. Quiet.. 😢: Old furniture which was worn out and uncomfortable to sleep and sit on. The bed was small and mattress very uncomfortable. The couch and chairs in the lounge were also uncomfortable and dated. Linen was old and worn. Bed sheets were pilled and too large for the master bed. Towels were very old and very used. Cleaning equipment such as dish sponge had been used previously and was very worn. There was a dish washer but no soap provided for it. Coffee machine was provided however no coffee. Access is impossible for anyone with any mobility issues. There are several stairs in the property which are very steep. There are also many trip hazards. We found it impossible not to trip over and we are both classified as able bodied. There’s a huge list of expectations for cleaning from the host. Probably the least satisfactory part was the host’s expectation we park 100 to 200 meters from the property up a steep, unlevelled driveway for her convenience as she did not wish to walk up the driveway herself while we paid to stay there. The location was not great. Miles away from everything. You need a car to go anywhere..

😊: Great apartment located in the hills above Sechilienne, with a comfortable bedroom and good sized kitchen, and a great terrace and garden access. The house is quite remote, but provides a relaxing and quiet space. There are lots of mountain and river hikes close by, and lakes where you can swim..
