Guestbook for La Val Mahe
We have had a wonderful time. The gite has everthing that you could possibly need, a real home from home. The children had a lovely time in the pool and exploring the garden. Ambrieres leisure park is a must, Charlotte really enjoyed the horse riding and the crazy golf. We feel we were made very welcome. Thank you.
The Jones Family.
Beautiful house and garden. Kids loved the pool and feeding the fish every morning. Lovely surrounding countryside to explore - recommend the Velo-rail and bike hire in Perrou.
Had a great time at the tree jumping adventure park, something the whole family could do.
Enjoyed the courses de trot (horse and carriage racing) and drove to Caen gorgeous beaches, go carts, ponies and shops.
The Ferguson family Kent.
Has been relaxing and most enjoyable. Plenty to do and see -slow paced life recommended!!
Arrived on the day of the annual fete at Souce, very enjoyable local traditions etc.
Would recomend Chateaux at Lassay. Relais de la Varenne at Ambrieres les Vallees and for just sitting on the balcony and watch the world go by.
