'La Houlette' is a cottage adjacent to a restored 16th century farm which is now part of Mudita Sanctuary, a non-profit animal sanctuary. We have 9 different species on the property from cats to cows. Cats, dogs, chickens and donkeys roam freely in the garden so if you're scared, allergic or don't like animals, this is not for you.

100% of the proceeds of your stay will go to the animals of the sanctuary.

The space
Separate from the main house, the cottage offers all the privacy one could hope from a guesthouse. It has a kitchen, living room with a fireplace and dining area, a bathroom (no shower), separate toilet and a large room on the first floor which has 2 beds, a double and a single, thereby accommodating 3 people in the same room.

The cottage is over 80 square meters. The beds are 1,80x2m and 0,90x2m.

You have access to the pool and the garden but these are shared with Ariane the owner and one of the volunteers of the sanctuary. The cottage is very much a part of the property so you will see the owner and the animals moving about.

There is an outdoor car park available near the cottage.

Though the cottage is in an idyllic and quiet place, there are animals around and some do bark, neigh, or otherwise call one another during the day.

Guest access
Guests can enjoy the pool, the garden and can even go into the fields with the animals if they wish to meet or pet them. The outdoor spaces are shared with the owner, the guests of the other cottage (max 6 pax) and the animals.

Please note that the swimming pool is not gated, so this is not safe for unsupervised children who cannot swim. If you have young children, we do not bear responsibility should something happen to your child regarding the pool. Similarly we ask that children be under constant supervision in order for them to interact gently and safely with the animals of the garden.

Other things to note
All the proceeds of your stay go to the animals of the sanctuary.
NO PETS ALLOWED without prior approval. We are an animal sanctuary and have animals roaming freely around the property, it might be stressful or dangerous for our animals or your pets if they don't get along.
