2007 Comments:
Susan Shears July 2007 Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday. The chateau was wonderful - so well appointed and very comfortable it made the whole trip extremely relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed playing tennis, swimming and of course playing boules! Also enjoyed exploring the area, wine tasting and some wonderful food!! Many thanks for creating a delightful place to stay.
Dr Nigel Jones June 2007 - Australia
Thank you. We had a wonderful time and the chateau was perfect. We all want to return SOON.
Mike Smith June 2007
We had a fabulous holiday in your wonderful home-what a place to celebrate my wife's 60th.!! Our 4-year-old granddaughter actually managed to swim her first strokes in your beautiful pool. I would really like to go again next year if possible. You must be very proud of what you have created at Chateau des Egrons-and thank you again for letting us share it.
Isobel Michael – May/June 2007 I just wanted to send you an e-mail to pass on the thanks from our entire group - we had a lovely week at Chateau des Egrons. It is such a beautiful house in a wonderful setting and we all wanted to let you know how much we had enjoyed staying there. Many Thanks,
