Lost in France
I arrived very late with my 11 year old son as a co-pilot. Not haven driven in France for some 8 years i relied on Liane's directions and then her guidance over the phone on the last leg along the dark country lanes. The gite was cosy and welcoming with a basket full of logs ready for the fire and food in the fridge for breakfast the next morning. Paul baked some fresh croissants the following morning that my son collected and shared with the little cat. The gite was in a perfect location for visiting my eldest son who attends the local college in ruffec. Liane was very helpful in offering ideas for teenagers in France having brought up her own children over there. The gite itself was just perfect with each bedroom offering en-suite facilities fresh clean bed linen and towels. The sun shone and there was a real sun trap round the back of the gite, I was offered a sun lounger and large umbrella as I lay basking in the sunshine whilst watching my son go on the trampoline located in the barn opposite. Both Paul and Liane have extensive knowledge of the local area and where the best offers are; in particularly the best value wines!!! I was unfortunate to be caught up in the french air traffic control strike whereby my flight was cancelled. Paul and Liane worked round their bookings and were able to offer me two out of the 4 extended nights that I had to stay until I could catch a flight home, even offering the use of their computer and printer so I could rebook new flights and print off our boarding passes. In summary: clean,cosy comfortable stay with friendly flexible owners...... Thanks guys.
