We stayed with Ken & Charlotte for 1 week (late Aug 2011). The weather was warm, which got warmer during the week we stayed. There were 5 adults and 1 child (3 years) in our party and what a wonderful time we all had. The Gite was very very clean, everythink was there what we needed. Ken & Charlotte are very friendly people, they welcomed us all. The gite is in a great setting, just peace & quite, with just the wild life alround you. We went on long walks, swimming (Although the pool was not heated, it was abit cold), shooting, go Karting, so much to do & see. If anyone i looking for peace & quite, excellent Gite & Friendly people you must try this area & accommodation, it was worth the money. Thank you Ken & Charlotte for a great holiday, and we all hope to see you again next year. Andy, Jen, Michelle, Ritchard, Kimberley & Josuha. Response: Thanks for your review and the trout are waiting for kimberley to do battle next trip. kind regards, ken n charlotte |

We greatly enjoyed staying at Le Gue Rochoux. We have stayed at many holiday villas & rate Le Gue Rochoux as one of the best. It was clean, spacious, well equipped (fast broadband & wifi, dishwasher, washing machine, satellite TV, etc…). When you stay there you get sole use of the plunge pool – which is a big plus if you have children that like to shriek & splash whilst swimming. Ken & Charlotte really do put you the guest first & try to arrange extra activities you require. We did the .22 target shooting & fishing. The children 5, 7 & 9 years old just loved being involved in helping with the farm side – spinning the honey out, bottle feeding the orphaned lamb, bring in the hens eggs, helping pick the fresh veg, etc… The local area is great for cycling. We went on many of the local dedicated cycleways (ie: no cars allowed – great for children) which have been created on disused railway lines (ie: no hills, small gradients – great for Mum & Dad!). The longest one is 50 km. Response: So glad you enjoyed your stay. thanks very much for the review. ken and charlotte |
