The house was superb, extremly spacious with all amenaties whilst retaining the true appeal of a French house. The gardens are very large and child friendly, with the pool a delight on hot summer days. Terri and Kieth were great hosts, nearby and very helpful with all our questions whilst not being the slightest intrusive. The surrounding areas are picturesque with huge amounts to do should you wish I would have no doubts in recommending Le Chirons to anybody, certainly a 10 out of 10 Response: Great to meet you all, thanks for your kinds words and hope to see you again next year! |

The house and gardens were really lovely and we were made to feel very welcome by the owners Terry and Keith. The place was lovely and clean, very comfortable and peaceful. We enjoyed our little trips out in the mornings but always returned to spend the afternoons and evenings back at home. I call it home as there was everything we needed at Les Chirons, we even used the pool during the warm afternoons. The little village just down the road La Cellette (very small but friendly) was a nice quiet place to have a nice cold beer or a glass of nice French wine and they also served good food in the one and only resturant. We had a very nice holiday and will visit Les Chirons again. Response: It was a pleasure to meet you both and thank you for your kind words. |
