We shared with two friends and had a fantastic holiday !! The place was bright, clean and airy, and the family were really friendly and helpful - all except 'Grumpy Cat' who was quite a character, and dear Poppy - what a wonderful dog. A very good base for touring and plenty of room (both sun and shade) It was very well equipped and would reccomend it. We would dearly love to return but it is a long drive - and I am not getting any younger. |

We stayed at Caminade for 2 weeks at the end of July and had a lovely holiday. The Gite is comfortable and has all the facilities you need. We found the location excellent as, although the Gite is out in the middle of nowhere the road links are nearby making it easy to explore the area. We took our dog and found the area particularly good for dog-walking, with open fields all around. All in all a great little Gite for a couple or a small family with the added bonus of the owners being on hand to offer information and a really nice pool. |
