Spent a week with my 3 brothers. I spent a long time choosing where to stay to ensure there was something for everyone to do and we weren't disappointed. The gite is stunning, beautifully decorated and furnished. Never mind staying a week, I could happily live there. The fishing lake and all the fishing gear was great, caught plenty of nice fish. The cycling and bikes where great, fantastic countryside for miles and miles. The golf clubs and golf course where lovely. Very relaxing in the gite, outside in shaded areas or sunny areas and the pool. Paul and Tracy where the perfect hosts, ever so helpful and nothing was too much trouble, they made it look so easy. From Phil, Chris, Nigel, and Stuart, Thank you so much for a great holiday
Just finished a two week break, we have had a wonderful time and would recommend this place without hesitation
The gite is set in a stunning part of Aquitaine and there are spectacular panoramic views from all sides.
Tracey and Paul are wonderful hosts who have the balance between being on hand when needed for advice but never being overbearing.
The gite is well appointed and has everything anyone would need. The location is very quiet but there are lots of amazing places to visit.
There is nothing to fault with this place, it’s fantastic
After finding this location I spoke with the owner Paul on several occasions via WhatsApp just to check on a few things prior to booking. Paul was so very helpful on the phone answering all my questions, nothing was too much trouble and he always replied promptly to the messages I sent him.
So I was happy with what Paul told me and I booked online for two weeks with my partner and her parents.
On arrival we were met by both Paul and his lovely wife Tracey.
Well what can I say the location is absolutely amazing and so tranquil. The Gite is beautiful, roomy was spotlessly clean and decorated and furnished to a very high standard and tastefully presented.
The kitchen area is huge, so plenty of room to prepare food and there was plenty of utensils pots pans mugs plates and cutlery that you needed.
The swimming pool was well needed as it was so hot during our stay with temperatures up to 37 degrees. Again set in a lovely location with a patio area and sun loungers with a canopy for shade if required after your dip in the pool.
Me being a fisherman I fished the lake several times and Paul was always there to give me advice on the swims to fish and as I didn’t take my own fishing tackle Paul has got a very large selection of fishing tackle that I was able to use. The conditions were extremely hot but I still managed to catch some beautiful Tench, Carp, Roach and Rudd. The lake is absolutely stunning in a lovely location surrounded by trees and so very peaceful.
Paul and Tracey also have bikes that you can use which me and my partner used as well as sets of golf clubs if you want to play golf. There is also a games room with a pool table, darts board and some gym equipment.
They let us know about a couple of bars where a food van turns up and you can order fish and chips, burgers and other options which is run by an English couple. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. One of the bars has different live bands every Tuesday, both Paul and Tracey went to them both and we followed them in our car which was good of them to do.
We all had such a wonderful and relaxing holiday in such a beautiful part of France, our hosts Paul and Tracey were so so friendly and helpful and as I’ve already mentioned nothing I repeat nothing is too much trouble for them. We have all made some new friends in them both and will most definitely be going back for another holiday.
If your looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday away with fantastic hosts this is most definitely the place to book up.
Thanks again Paul and Tracey for a wonderful time, your accommodation is truly a little Gem.
