Guest comments
Catherine (Wandsworth): "Hi Carolyn, I've just returned to work after a simply lovely holiday. The villa was lovely, really really good - and just as nice as it looked in the photos! The downstairs kitchen is great, really handy to have it right on the back of the house near the pool and everything - we ate out a lot under the awning - esp at lunchtime. The pool is lovely, as are the grounds."
Laidler Family: "Lovely villa, great pool and great holiday. We'd love to come back."
Whitson family, Bath England
"A great family house, spent almost the whole week here playing with all the toys. The garden is fantastic and the village is very friendly. Thanks for a great time."
Bindman Family,
La petite foret is really well thought out as a holiday let with the large downstairs dining room/kitchen and the comfortable outdoor living. We found lots of good walks in the forest, and excellent simple restaurants nearby and splashed out at Manzac at the Lion D'Or for our last outing.
