Fantastic Gite and hosts
The property was excellent as were the hosts Helen and Peter. They could not do enough to ensure that we settled in and were aware of comfortable. The information on the gite and how it worked was comprehensive. The gite is very well maintained with excellent facilities. The pool was superb and Peter cleaned it every morning. We had a fantastic time and cannot fault the gite in any way. Thankyou Helen and Peter for mking us feel so welcome.

Vacances paisibles
Propriété calme. Maison spacieuse, agréable et propre. Grande piscine bien entretenue, tout comme le jardin. Propriétaires adorables et discrets, qui ont su être réactifs et efficaces face au problème d'humidité malheureusement apparu dans une chambre au rdc (pb réglé). Merci encore à Peter & Helen pour leur gentillesse, leur disponibilité et leur humour :).

Jolie propriété, entretien impeccable et accueil agréable.
Merci à Helen et Peter pour leur accueil. Mention spéciale pour l’extraordinaire propreté et entretien de leur maison, jardin et piscine. La maison est très agréable avec l’accès direct à la piscine. Tout est de qualité et la vaisselle est bien fournie. Bonne literie également, nous n’avons manqué de rien et la région est pleine de choses variées à faire. Très jolis marchés, balades en canoë et visites de grottes. Merci pour ce séjour de qualité.

Location très agréable
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans la charmante location d’Helen et Peter . La pièce de vie est très agréable , joliment aménagée. L’espace couchage à l’étage inférieur est un plus pour profiter d’un peu de fraîcheur pour la nuit . La piscine est absolument fantastique pour les enfants qui se sont éclatés! Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et gentils

A beautiful gite in a perfect setting
The booking process was quick and easy, the owners responded within hours of us submitting a question and answers were clear and concise. The instructions to "check in" were clear and the address took us straight to the front gates. When we arrived, the owners were there to greet us and show us around. They were so welcoming and helpful, and since they knew the area so well (as we didn't) they were able to point out plenty of things to do (or not to do). It was comforting that they were close enough should we need anything, but we weren't shadowed by them in anyway. The house feels more spacious than we'd thought. The kitchen is well appointed and the lounge is very comfortable. The master bed is spacious and airy, and the two other rooms (twins) were also well designed and a very comfortable size. The bathroom is large, with a huge shower, good sized sink, and heated towel rail. The pool was (and we cannot stress this enough) the cleanest, most well maintained pool I've ever seen. No chemical smell, crystal clear water, everything was in perfect repair it could have been built weeks before we arrived! Plenty of pool side loungers and space to relax. The pool was large so plenty of room to splash about and deep enough at the deep end. The grounds were also immaculate and well cared for, and despite the very hot and dry weather, the garden was lush and still in bloom (mid-late Sept). The location puts you around 30-40 mins from a main motorway, and 15 mins from modest size towns. Larger towns are around 45 mins with the two main cities (Bordeaux and Toulouse) around 90 mins and 2hrs respectively. There is a lot to do in terms of outdoor activities (canoe / biking) and Châteauxs, churches and gardens etc. to visit. The small historic towns are the highlight of the local area and this gite is perfectly situated for these visits. Overall, I cannot thank the owners enough for what was a magical honeymoon. They were welcoming, friendly, and were so accommodating, with the gite being as wonderful as it was, it really was a perfect end to the summer for us. Thank you again.
