Thank you for staying in our Suite 6 Marguerite. We work hard to make our guests happy, and appreciate your kind and sincere words.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and were lucky enough to stumble across a cottage at Belle Le Vie! Everything was perfect for a serene and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Everything was 5 star! Thank you to Justin for being a great host. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay again!

It was fairly typical cottage accommodation although the bathroom is large and well appointed. The heating was particularly noisy.

Thank you for staying in our cottage 3 Fleur De Lis. We asked on numerous occasions to let us know of any issues/concerns during your stay, one call would have remedied the problem. In the cottage, there are the central ducted heating and gas log fire. If the gas log fire is used in manual mode at high temperatures, it does have a safety measure that when it is too hot the fan does kick in to cool the unit to safer levels.

The only shortcoming was staying one night instead of two! Exceptional accommodation in a beautiful location.
