Gites du haras de la fontaine

Wir haben hier drei Wochen Boulderurlaub gemacht und die große Wohnung sehr genossen. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, die Terasse ist ein Highlight. Im Garten kann man grillen. Die Spinnenläufer und sogar 2-3 sehr große Heuschrecken, die sich zu uns verirrt haben, waren besonders für die Kinder superspannend. Einige Geräte wie Spülmaschine und Waschmaschine tun ihren Dienst, könnten aber langsam ersetzt werden. Der Stromverbrauch muss am Ende bezahlt werden. Die Vermieter wohnen nebenan und sind sehr aufmerksam. Sie haben für die heissen Tage Ventilatoren vorbeigebracht, die Kinder mit Spielsachen versorgt und uns mit Tomaten verwöhnt. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen die Unterkunft gerne weiter. Danke!

I stayed here with five friends for a week long climbing trip. It worked out at about €10 per night per person including which is incredible value. A beautiful building with a great garden, fireplace and nice living space. The disadvantages include a relatively long journey to climbing areas of at least 20 minutes, not much to do in Poligny, hot water runs out after a few showers, and small kitchen but well stocked. Gilbert is warm and pragmatic and has good suggestions for the local area. He was very flexible with our late arrival. Has a large covered outdoor area with seating and good wi fi so perfect for wet weather. Great cheap base camp for a bouldering trip would defo recommend.

We spent a wonderful three weeks at Catherine and Gilbert's Gîte. We traveled with our nine month old daughter and three year old son. Not far from Gîte there are good opportunities for bouldering from 6-10 minutes by car. There are fewer people than in popular areas like Bas Cuvier or Le Cul de Chien. It takes about 30-40 minutes to get to popular areas. Catherine and Gilbert received us very well in their Gîte. On the day of arrival, we could only be at 12 at night. They were so accommodating that we could arrive two days early and leave a day later than the agreed time. Gîte itself is located in the countryside in an old French house with high ceilings, its own courtyard. Catherine and Gilbert provided us with a travel crib and mattress for the kids. They have a double bed in the bedroom and another bed in the dining room. They gave us a table and chairs for the terrace, a parasol and everything for the barbecue. They have swings for children in the yard. Our kids enjoyed riding them. The yard is safe for children and they can be allowed to play alone. Our son could ride his bike around the yard. Catherine and Gilbert even let our son use their granddaughter's electric car. The house has everything you need for a holiday with children. Kitchen, all necessary utensils, refrigerator, microwave oven, stove without oven, bath, washing machine. For crawling children, I recommend taking some kind of rug with you, as the floor is tiled and a food mixer for newborns. We also took bed linen with us. On our visit, we almost did not use the batteries, as it was warm. Payment for heat is by the way negotiated in advance in the contract, which must be signed before arrival. This Gîte is the perfect place to spend your holidays and enjoy the atmosphere of rural France. There is a very beautiful area around. Catherine and Gilbert are very hospitable hosts and it is a pleasure to deal with them. We highly recommend their Gîte. Thanks to them for a nice time in France !

Gite très sympathique avec une vue magnifique sur les chevaux et la forêt. Un bien bel endroit avec de charmants propriétaires.

We waren erg blij met de reservering en verheugden ons op de prachtige plek en gezellige gite. Helaas bleek de gite, terwijl wij op het contract van verhuurder wachtten, tussentijds verhuurd aan anderen. Ik heb met de vriendelijke eigenaar gebeld, maar het is mij helaas (misschien door de taalbarriere) niet duidelijk hoe dit kon gebeuren en waarom ik het contract niet direct toegestuurd heb gekregen toen ik de aanvraag deed.
