Second visit in 12 months should speak for itself but for those who doubt our fondness for this part of the world & Barbara & Ian's friendship & attention to detail, you won't have to wait until the end of your holiday to come to the conclusion that you made the right decision to visit Gours and the surrounding countryside. Had a great stay, again. All the best for next year. Love Steve, Rikke, Sophie, Louise, Christian, Maureen & Charlie
