Your Hosts
La Grange du Saule is owned and hosted by Neill and Karen, we reside on the premises in a converted farmhouse totally seperate from the gîte with our two cats, Sassy and Totsi.
After years of careful planning, we relocated from England to Marval and promptly commenced the establishment of the Gîte. After renovating the existing barn into a comfortable and peaceful haven, we are looking forward to sharing this delightful property and welcoming guests.
Guest Comments
We recently enjoyed a fantastic two-week stay at La Grange du Saule with our family. The area is perfect for walking and exploring, and the pool was a hit with everyone—especially the kids! Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their kindness truly made our experience even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend La Grange du Saule for a family-friendly getaway.

We had the pleasure of staying here for some late summer sunshine in September and what a delight it was.
The hosts were super friendly and made sure we were settled in before leaving us to do our own thing but knowing they were contactable if any problems arose (there weren’t!)
The gite has been decorated to a very high standard everywhere and the attention to detail is second to none.
