Weve stayed in gites before and usually have to pay a security deposit. Why don you charge one ?
We want our guests to relax and have fun on their holidays. Our gtes are set up to be pretty child proof. We try to provide cleanliness and comfort without the need to fill the places with antiques, high-tech equipment and precious breakable knick-knacks (as are often found in “luxury” gites). ‘Terrible-twos’ toddlers will find lower shelves and cupboards mostly empty and so will (hopefully) occupy themselves with the supplied box of toys instead !
