Guestbook for Les Moulins de Faymoreau
Deena H. August 09 - I just wanted to say that we had a wonderful time at your home in France. We thought the location was relaxing and views stunning. The pool was lots of fun for our children. The house was extremely comfortable and well equipped.
Paul B. emailed Aug 2009 - We would just like to say what a fantastic time we have all had at the house this year. The kitchen is really well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and the rooms light and airy. The girls were in the pool at every opportunity and the decking makes it really safe. The facilities you provide such as table tennis, games, bikes etc make it geared up for a really good family holiday.
