Guestbook for Buffageasse
We really enjoyed the peace and quiet, sunshine and eating out either on the balcony or at the many restaurants nearby. Brian and Pam. Chepstow.
Perfect for us and our 18month old baby, she really enjoyed the local zoo at Chize. Sarah and David. Kent
What a welcome change from our busy life in London, plenty of fresh air, good wine and food made it hard to leave. Peter and Jenny. London.
Thank you for your welcome to this restful place in the country. Everything supplied for our comfort and relaxation, supplemented by sunny days, a stormy night, magnificent big skies, and huge fields. The guided tour of the magnificent Church in Aulnay was well worth the visit. Eizabeth & Francis. Ireland.
