Guestbook
’We had a fabulous time. The Gite and Farmhouse were fantastic and feel like "home". This was our first trip to France - thank you Nich Julie and Lizzie for making it a great first trip. Shane and Nicky
A very gorgeous place - especially in the early mornings, for the bread run on the bikes. The church bells very atmospheric. You provided us with everything for a perfect holiday. Ibbotsons Yorks.
’Thank you to both of you for your hospitality. The comprehensive inventory throughout made it feel like a home from home, and thanks very much for stocking the fridge with so much stuff. Everything we could have wished for was at hand, including UK TV and UK power sockets. Fantastic! We had a great time – it was so good to be able to spend quality time together in such a tranquil environment. It was a much needed break and we are both the better for it. Your accommodation and setting is fantastic and we would very much like to come back next year, and perhaps bring our friends.’ Mark and Melanie (Nottingham)
"Top welcome from Nich and Julie, comfortable accommodation and a great place to chill out and forget the world." Jean and Steve (Warrington)
"..convivial hosts; discrete, helpful, charming and extremely obliging. The use of the golf clubs and bikes was more than we expected and was very much appreciated." Steve, Debbie, Lynne and Tony (Hampshire)
'What a fantastic week's holiday! The children have had great fun with the animals, swimming, blackberry picking and just playing outside. Everything is totally safe here. .. We're certain that we will be back next year' The Greens (Cheshire).
