Dear David, Bev and family,
Apologies for the delay in replying to your lovely email. Life's been crazy since we've been home.
We had a fantastic holiday. Really special. Les Espioles was just perfect for us and contributed in no small part to us having an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable time. The location was great, the facilities were brilliant and your kindness and hospitality was much appreciated.
It was such a relaxing holiday and with 5 children in tow, that's no mean feat, so thank you so much.
Paris was great and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately, as we were leaving the car park of the Campanile hotel to head back to Calais on the Sunday evening, Dave's car got a puncture,
Still, it didn't dampen our spirits and just added to the memories of what was one of the best holidays we've ever had.
Thank you all so much, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Matt, Emma, Anais, Khaim, Mel, Dave, Sean, Ryan and Tom.
