Guest comments
Hi Kay and Shaun! What a fantastic holiday! The house was just amazing. A lasting memory is of seeing the sun coming up through our open bedroom window - breathtaking! Everything we could possibly need was there and the pool was so welcome after a day of sunbathing on the rear patio area! For those who enjoy a drive a little further out, we can recommend Chinon with it's "vin" museum and surrounding streets. Thanks so much for making our first trip to France a pleasurable one. We will definitely be booking again for 2009!!! Carl, Lucy and Shannon.
