Turns out that Sophie\u2019s English was much better than\nshe had made out and we had no trouble at all. The only problem in fact we did\nhave is that she sent an e-mail about finding the place after we had left\nEngland so I never received it until I got home. Luckily my French was enough\nto communicate (well more their English too) with a neighbour and we found it.\nI am so glad we didn\u2019t change it as it was the most wonderful place to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/farm-house-normandy-and-pedalo.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"father and son on pedalo in France\" class=\"wp-image-26290\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The accommodation was on a working farm. It was absolutely\nbeautiful with such a lovely colour scheme &#8211; with so much thought that had gone\ninto it (such as matching red dice puffas). We had two bedrooms and a fold out\nbed in the living area. Plus there was a lovely seating area outside &#8211; perfect\nfor the hot weather we had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/sheep-at-Saint-Germain-Le-Vieux-France-Air-BnB.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"sheep on farm at Saint Germain Le Vieux France Air BnB\" class=\"wp-image-26292\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a beautiful kitchen which had everything we needed\n&#8211; including the use of basics. Plus there was a washing machine, iron etc too.\nThe shower was great and each of us had clean towels to use. The place was\nsuper tidy and had wonderful scents around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kitchen-at-Saint-Germain-Le-Vieux-France-Air-BnB.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"kitchen at Saint Germain Le Vieux France Air BnB\" class=\"wp-image-26293\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The boys loved it because there was free WiFi (although they\ndid also play the games provided too). I loved it because it was quiet and calm\n&#8211; we could pick the fruit off the bushes and eat it, use the pedalo and see the\nanimals. In fact there was loads of lovely nature to explore, especially around\nthe private little lake. There was a friendly dog who came to see us and the\nowners were good at leaving us alone but yet being close by enough if we had\nany troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/dog-at-Saint-Germain-Le-Vieux-France-Air-BnB.jpg?resize=800%2C1067\" alt=\"dog at Saint Germain Le Vieux France Air BnB\" class=\"wp-image-26294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly haven\u2019t described how wonderful this place is &#8211; but it really was perfect, especially the tranquillity of the place after such a busy holiday.
