Guest comments
From Mr. Campbell, Dublin
On behalf of my family I wanted to thank you both again for a great holiday. Your house was really wonderful, with everything we could have asked for, both inside and outside in terms of facilities etc. Both sides of the family really enjoyed themselves, as did Jackie and I (and Anna loved the pool !). Thanks again, and I hope we get an opportunity to stay in Le Columbier again.
From Mrs.Carey, Brussels.
Many thanks for your warm welcome and for providing everything we could have wanted for our stay - especially the gorgeous views! Hope you like the photographs.
From Mr and Mrs. Plummer, Edinburgh
We spent some wonderful hours in the huge pool and wonderful family evenings under the wisteria clad pergola with those amazing star-filled skies. The spacious and fully equipped accommodation easily met the needs of our grown up family of 6.
