"A lovely property, just as listed. It is out in the countryside and worked perfectly for our vacation."

"Great welcome from Eric, with basket of local goods, so kind. He showed us round the whole gite & the outside, & was available by phone or at their house at all times. Eric & Irene are very friendly, a lovely family. The gite main room is superb, beamed & vaulted high ceiling, but lots of light & doors to open. Kitchen is very well stocked, enough equipment etc for 10 people, & a lovely size room, with a great five burner gas stove. Great gardens, boules court, table tennis, swings, trampoline, all well kept. Wonderful black & white cat, who we befriended, too. Very well mannered cat!! The bedrooms were fine, & the bathroom a good size. The whole experience was wonderful. The Gite is in a very quiet place, with barely any traffic, yet only 5km from Villereal, a great bastide town with a nice weekly market (& a wicked gateaux shop!) Oh, & large supermarket on the outskirts, very handy. It’s an ideal position to visit so many towns without long journeys. Thoroughly recommend a stay at this property. "

"We were looking for a great property for our family of 5 with 3 adult children plus friend. The house did not disappoint! It was spacious and comfortable for the 6 of us and would easily accommodate 8 adult guests. The pool and garden are stunning with a large pool 5x 10m with gentle steps in and a depth of 1.50m across it was lovely to swim in and heated - a real plus. Plenty of sun loungers and not overlooked at all- with floats and a balls to play games. If you have small children it’s got beautifully designed metal fencing with a gate for safety. The garden area is so peaceful that you forget you are in the middle of a village only steps from the bakery, pizzeria, restaurant, art gallery, cafes and mini supermarket. Even has a Sunday market for fruit and vegetables plus cheese and meats etc There’s a beautiful patio with dining and BBQs just located close to the house with shaded canopy if needed. Beatrice snd Jean-Paul are super attentive if you have questions and the pool is cleaned each morning without you knowing anyone is there. The garden is landscaped with secure parking located at the end of the garden There’s a shower room with toilet upstairs and another on the ground floor with a separate toilet. Very helpful! (Bedding & 1 towel included per person) The house is full of beautiful collections & very French styling that we loved and the children loved the traditional kitchen complete stunning drinks fridge. It’s a fabulous place to relax! "

"After reading the reviews we decided to take a punt and book the holiday. I’m so glad we did! All the reviews (good and bad) are spot on. The property is ‘rustic’. There are no frills but the layout of the house was perfect for 2 families and it is spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you need. We all forgot towels and Lucie was at the door before I had even signed off. "

"We are a group of 3 families with teenage children. We found the layout of the property suited our group well with the communal games room and dining areas. The pool and gardens are idyllic and we found the hosts charming. The local area has many picturesque villages, Château and markets to visit "

"The house was idealy situated for visiting many places of interest,Bordeaux,Bergerac and many chateau in the area. We were very disapointed with the standard of the property due to several issues.The house is very cold and damp and in some rooms has effected the wooden flooring,leaving a white deposit.Even in the kitchen, which has tiled flooring,surface water could be seen under our dogs bedding.The on-suite shower room wasn't very clean and had black mould around the shower tray and sink,which we had to clean ouselves.Although we had the use of an above ground swimming pool in the garden,it quickly became unusable as the grass,which was mostly weeds,became too long and unpleasant to wade through to get to the pool. Although I expect not everything to be perfect with an older property,I do feel the owners could pay more attention to these basic details.We were there for a month so these these things had considerable impact on our stay.We felt the owners put very little into running there gite and do the bare minimum."
