We had such a wonderful stay at Belle Le Vie. The rooms were clean, well presented and had everything we could need. The spa bath was very relaxing. The gardens are beautifully kept and the host was extremely friendly and helpful. Wonderful bakery just down the road and only a short drive to some beautiful nature walks. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

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.
