“Beautiful Property”

“Stunning”
Just home from a fantastic week staying in this beautiful property. The house is very rural and you def need a car. Tracey is so welcoming and friendly The accommodation is outstanding. Really pretty and so tastefully presented. The house is cool roomy and very clean. There were six adults in our group. Two couples using the en suite bedrooms and one couple using the main bedroom with the family bathroom. The oustside area is really pretty and caters for outdoor dining with all the necessary equipment and built in barbecue. Lovely seating areas and beautifully placed plants and decorative items which are so attractive. The pool looks over the to lake. The peace and quiet surrounding this place is so relaxing. Outdoor furniture includes reclining chairs, sun loungers and parasols. The men loved the fishing. Bring your own rods. Some days their catch was better than others but they spent every spare minute by the lake....the pool is a salt water pool and really cool for a dip in the very warm weather we were lucky to have. The house is situated in a very peaceful hamlet. The neighbours are all friendly. We visited 3 restaurants all were to an amazingly high standard and very friendly. The photos of this property do not do it justice. Thank you to Tracey and her family for a lovely week and for being on hand when we needed it.

“Family holibobs”
We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday all 7 of us plus baby Maxy and our Bennydog. Great communication from Tracey all the way through and very helpful with extra questions etc. A lovely welcome and informative. Beautiful location very quiet, perfect for all of us, fishing, golf local markets, vineyards much loved. House provides everything you need very well equipped. Couple of extras would be bbq tools, foil in kitchen, tables by pool for drinks, more storage in bedrooms for clothes, containers in kitchen to put leftovers in. These are not at all criticisms just helpful points we thought of as a family. Tracey and Rob thankyou so much for being such lovely hosts and showing us round your beautiful place......we will be back i’m certain...xx❤️

“Total relaxation”
We've just returned from a 10 day stay at this beautiful Gite. Don't be fooled by the pictures, they don't do it jusitice at all, the reality is so much better. The property is large, airy and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Plenty of room for our family of five. It stayed lovely and cool too, which is a great asset when it's so hot outside. The pool is lovely, although a bit chilly! The main attraction for us was the beautiful lake and surroundings. We spent hours sitting by the the lake with our binoculars spotting some of the local wildlife, Kites, Snakes, Bats, Pond Turtles and Kingfishers to name just a few. The local area has a lot to offer, and if you're prepared to travel out a bit further, there's plenty of places to visit, especially with kids. We particularly enjoyed Karting, and an amazing indoor climbing centre in Bordeaux. The hosts live next door, on hand if we needed anything, but otherwise we didn't see them. We really appreciated the privacy they afforded us, however, we were also sorry to have run out of time to have a drink with them before we left. Their Son was also very helpful, assisting us in retrieving our Drone from a very tall tree! One of the best places we've stayed in France
