Guest comments
A & J Smith, London (2-5 May 2008) Thanks for the wonderful welcome. All the creature comforts for a relaxing break - whether you are on holiday or like us house hunting. Lots of wonderful advice which I know will prove invaluable. You have a lovely 'piece of heaven' and we wish you all the very best! Warmest Wishes. Until we see you again - au revoir.
Cheryl Morris, Canada (24-31 May 2008) I consider myself very lucky to have found such a wonderful place to stay in this beautiful countryside, with the warmest nicest people. You have made me feel very welcome, like part of your circle of friends. The gite was perfect for me, and I hope to return to France soon to continue my house - hunting adventure and to see you. Thanks for your advice, council & great company.
