“Très bon séjour!”
Nous avons passé 2 très bonnes semaines dans le gite appelé "La Provençal" en Août 2018. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Virgin… More

Response from the owner Merci à vous. Le frigo est de taille normale dans sa place sous le plan de travail. La piscine est au sel donc si les garçons portent des shorts trop flottants et sautent beaucoup dans l'eau les shorts vont frotter les jambes. Ceci, avec le sel, pourrait causer une irritation.

Response from the owner Merci beaucoup à cette famille amicale. Notre annonce détaillée est écrit en anglais et traduis par tripadvisor en français qui donne un sommaire de l'annonce originale. Sur l'annonce anglaise nous précisons qu'il y a deux chambres - une avec un grand lit et l'autre avec deux petits lits et un canapé pour deux personnes indiquant des lits pour quatre personnes mais 6 peuvent y dormir. Nous avons acheté le canapé après des demandes de familles avec 3 ou 4 enfants. Il y a une salle d'eau qui a été refait récement. La télévision a les chaines en anglais et français - un lecteur DVD et un console Playstation sont connectés. Il n'y a pas de prises HDMI actuellement donc si quelqu'un apporte leur console il ne pourra pas le connecter. Il est prévue de remplacer les téléviseurs dans les deux gites cet hiver. Merci à Pascal pour ces petits points qui nous aident a fournir un bon séjour à tous.

Response from the owner It is a pity Laurence feels as she does as they appeared to be enjoying their first five days in the sun around the pool. All dogs react when threatened as our friendly family Beagle but, as Laurence acknowledged at the time, he made a noise but not touch - this was in-front of us both. See many of our other reviews where previous guests say how lovely and friendly he is The unusually heavy storm caused a torrential downpour, rare for this area, where our terracotta tiled roofs are built for the sun not heavy rain or extreme cold. When they alerted me to the issue at lunchtime the floor was dry despite it raining steadily all morning so it was caused by the freak storm during the night. The roofer was already elsewhere so could not come til the weekend when the problem was identified and fixed. I did what I could and offered the other gite (the same surface area but over 2 levels so may have seemed smaller), slightly less in price than theirs but more than the 30% promotional rate they had had) however the weather had now turned and she wanted to leave. I'm sure most people would agree that the weather is not something anyone can control and that we are seeing increasingly extreme weather everywhere not just in France. All homes will smell when there is heavy rain and wet clothing and shoes. At no time did I see windows and doors open to air the gite - it was always firmly shut up - never a good thing especially with thick exposed stone walls. We have rented our gites for over 10 years with many happy guests returning and recommending us (just see our other reviews). Most people appreciate the traditional, stone buildings and realise that there are pluses and minuses. The stone keeps you lovely and cool in the hot summer months but the thick stone walls challenge the wifi signal which reaches certain places in the gite only (something that is clearly explained when we welcome guests). There is free wifi access by all the doors, ie in the stone bedroom and at the bar, as well as outside on the terrace - this of course depends on your device. It will not work on the sofa behind 3 stone walls as is always explained. We continue to welcome our guests and work hard to ensure they enjoy a lovely stay with us. We always appreciate feedback when it is constructive and honest, which helps us provide happy holidays. If in doubt, please see our other reviews.

Response from the owner We are always very pleased to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay. Young boys enjoy the pool, trampoline and large garden to investigate and run around. We are spoilt for choice with things to visit be they a vineyard, historic towns, caves, boat trips, parks like the water park, monkey park where you enter their enclosure, steam train ride along the side of a cliff with fantastic views, large caves with underground lakes and boat trips etc. Close-by you can go canoeing, karting, rock-climbing or pot-holing. We are also 2 hours drive from historic Carcassonne with its walled city and 2.5 hours fro the med beaches - a favourite day trip of ours. There is also a good choice of restaurants nearby.

“Great place for a holiday in France!”
Lovely two bed Gite, with all you need for your stay (including towels for the pool!). The pool is salt water cleaned, with stunning views over the valley. Only 10 minutes by car to beautiful Cahors, which is definitely worth a couple of visits. There are so many places to visit, all easily accessible for a day trip. We were looked after by Ginny, who was always on hand to help with any queries we had and to suggest places we might like to visit. Everything in the Gite worked and was very comfortable. I've given this a 5* rating and would highly recommend La Provencal, Mas des Cypres. Thank you Ginny, Maddy and Sam (the doggie)!
