Guestbook for Le Petit Oliver
Kirsten from Addlestone
This was a beautiful house and extremely spacious, much bigger than we had expected. Lots of room for the children to play and the garden was wonderful. The swimming pool was lovely and in the sun all day. The owners, who are on site, were helpful and friendly but not intrusive. A wonderful time and would love to return.
Fiona from Tunbridge Wells
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful part of France. The property was wonderful with everything we required. There is so much to do in the area, the wonderful beaches, lakes and pretty towns and villages. A trip to Puy de Fou for the cinescenie in the evening is a must. We hope to return again.
Kathy from Stockton on Tees
This was the second year we spent at this property and once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. It was like being at home and the hosts could not do enough to make us feel comfortable. They were always at hand when needed but never intrusive, and they were very nice to our four children and always had time to talk to them. A big thank you to them for giving us such a wonderful holiday.
