Guest comments
Where has the week gone ? It is so rare these days to find a quiet idyllic retreat where time seems to forget you exist .We have had such a relaxing and enjoyable time and are very sorry to be leaving . Perfect hosts and accomodation well above the standard we expected for the price. The kids loved the lake,the pool, the bike rides , the beaches - I could go on but you get the picture N. Sawyer S'oton
Le Pont D'Albart is truly beautiful ,we have rarely had a cottage with such idyllic views .The children loved the facilities/animals- we loved the peace ,cleanliness and spaciousness of the cottage . A perfect holiday destination D. Jackson , Norfolk
Having been to France on many occasions this is the best gite yet; everything is great and we wish we could stay longer. There is lots to do here , beautiful walks through forests and of course the glorious unspoilt beaches. A place to be recommended and well worth further visits'. B. Silva - Bedfordshire.
