Guestbook for Gite du La Boutellerie

Jean & Monty would like to thank Andrew & Cath for a very enjoyable weekend, Cath you looked after us extremely well. Your cooking is excellent and the Gite is too a very high standard thank you so much.

Thank you for a lovely week. The Gite was lovely and spotlessly clean. The views are wonderful to wake up to in the morning. A very relaxing holiday Paul & Lydia, Surrey
I loved the big garden and the pool. It was a very relaxing holiday and I really enjoyed it. Anastasia aged 8

I would like to say a big thank you to Cath & Andrew; the gite is a lovely place and has lots of lovely views. The pool was great I wish we could stay longer Thank you :) from the Rogers Family X

7th - 14th August - We have had a wonderful week exploring the area. The Gite is very comfortable well equipped & spotlessly clean the photos do not do it justice. We loved "Woody" & the chickens! Thank you so much for your hospitality. Bev, Neil, Val & Ray
14th - 28th August 2010
We had a wonderfully relaxing stay, the house, and grounds make for a perfect holiday setting Andy & Cath really don’t big it up enough. The boys loved the huge garden and the pool and of course the lizards and bugs!
James got some bird watching in (the feathered kind) and Andy & Cath organised some fantastic sunshine.
They should call this “tranquillity” whatever the French for that is!
Thank you
James, Nichola, William & Freddie Ward

September 3-6
Our stay was fantastic! We arrived to find a cozy cottage stocked with all the comforts that we find in our own home. Towels in the bathroom kitchen with all the utencils and even a collection of spices to make an impromptu dinner a success. It was not clear from the website but we were pleasantly surprised how clean and finished the cottage is. The view is incredible and relaxes you immediately. If it usually takes a few days to realise you’re on vacation, here it simply took a dip in the pool and then some sunshine while laying on the beach chairs!
Last but not least, the hosts are super nice and friendly. We would LOVE to come back again at some point!!!
