Guestbook for L'Ecurie
Clark, Innes & Finlay – Connecticut, USA 3rd Visit in a row to L'Ecurie! We continue to be impressed with the little improvements to this awesome gite - a true "home base" from which a family with young children can explore the fabulous beaches and unique sites around the countryside. We love the pool, the Xbox, fresh croissants with bowls of hot chocolate,awesome BBQ dinners,fresh country air and solitude. Me and the children now think of our hosts Annette and Jason as family in this part of France, and our return here to familiar faces and places feels like coming home. True luxury at the gites, so bring a sense of adventure to explore this beautiful part of France - you will have memories to treasure for a lifetime! Perhaps that is why we have returned for this our 3rd visit, and we all shed a tear when leaving, such an incredible place, and count the weeks 'til our return.
Vicki, James, Lachlan and Isla – Jersey Annette and Jason really looked after us and were great with the children. The food cooked by Annette and Jason was great and took the pressure off on the first couple of nights. Gite is very well equipped. The swimming pool was a real favourite with the kids. The restaurant recommendation and babysitting were just the job to let mum and dad get a night out! The aquarium at La Rochelle was great fun for both the young ones and older ones. A fun holiday-Definitely would like to come back!
Natalie, Matthew, Isabelle & Libby – Epsom, Surrey We have had a fantastic week here! Thank you both for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable and we all appreciate the efforts you went to in making us feel so comfortable and at home. The pool and gardens are lovely and the playroom is a great bonus. We had great fun on the deserted beach at La Faute sur Mer, and La Tranche was good on a rainy day for collecting shells and crabs! We enjoyed our trip to Sables D’Olonne and hope to return next year as there is a lot more exploring to be done! Thanks too for the good restaurant recommendation & babysitting. Wish we were staying for 2 weeks!
