Family holiday
We’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday at La Belle Echapee. A family group of 11 and everyone was catered for. Plenty of landscaped garden and outdoor games, beautiful heated pool, loads of outside seating and loungers and the outdoor kitchen was really handy! The rooms were all a good size, immaculately clean and very homely. I just can’t recommend this place enough… and I haven’t even mentioned the fantastic hosts, Diana and Graham! Such a lovely couple who couldn’t do enough to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Thanks for making a long overdue family holiday pretty much perfect!

Très belle semaine en famille
On a passé une très belle semaine, on a été très bien acceuilli par Diana et son mari. Les enfants ont bien profité du grand terrain pour jouer au foot, basket et surtout de la piscine. Le Futuroscope est à 1h de route de la villa, il y a un parc d attraction à 30 min. Je recommande.

Excellent séjour chez Diane et Graham
we had a great week with family and friends,in the house of Diana and Graham who are very welcoming and discreet hosts. The house is extremely clean and very well equipped. The bedding is excellent, which was greatly appreciated by all of us. The property is very large with many possibilities for games (football, basketball, Babington, molkki ..). the pool is large and heated. The environment is calm and no noise disturbs the nights and days We thank Diane and Graham once again for their kindness and sympathy. We recommend this house to spend time with family
