Our stay in Tortefontaine
This property is immaculate. It is extremely well supplied with everything you could need, clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into ensuring this. The bed is very comfortable. Our hosts Norman and Irene were very friendly and helpful with good local knowledge. Ideally located for visiting the opal coast. We had a fabulous fortnight here. Andrew and Susan Leah.(July 24)

Excellent hosts
Hosts live on site and are friendly but not intrusive (Also have Charley the dog which is a bonus). Property is small but well equipped and furnished and is impeccably clean. Also you have a private garden area and access to rest of grounds to hide from sun. Location is quiet but beaches and towns easily driveable within 10 to 35 minutes so all options covered. Would certainly recommend.

Welcome break
We were welcomed by the host on arrival, who was very friendly and informative. The beautiful cottage is in a lovely peaceful rural area but is in close proximity to a small town and the coast. Our hosts couldn't be more friendly and helpful (especially with all the Covid regulations we had to sort out before our return to the UK!). I would wholehearted recommend and would love to stay here again.

Amazing quiet cozy cottage
My girlfriend and I spend an amazing time in this little little cozy cottage. It is equipped with everything you might need. The garden is filled with flowers and shaded by old trees - listening to birds early in the morning with a cup of coffee was incredibly relaxing. We also made use of the great gas barbecue. The cottage was incredibly well cleaned and sterilized before our arrival, which we appreciated greatly, especially during the current situation. Irene and Norman are very welcoming. All in all a great get away with amazing hosts.

Lovely little place
We spent a week here in mid-August with our seven year-old son. We had to drive around thirty minutes most days to find things to do for children as Tortefontaine is a small village. Norman and Irene were brilliant- full of local knowledge and directions to here, there, and everywhere (they even borrowed a PS2 from a friend because they knew we were bringing a young child!) The cottage was lovely and had all you could need (the patio with BBQ was beautiful, and if we'd had better weather we would have been out there every evening). We'd certainly recommend a stay, but make sure you bring stuff for kids to do in case of bad weather!

Lovely cottage in a delightful, peaceful setting
The cottage was really nicely decorated and maintained and equipped with everything we could have wanted. Tortefontaine is a charming little village, very peaceful and relaxing. Our hosts, Irene and Norman, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We would thoroughly recommend Primrose Cottage and look forward to staying there again.
