July 2008 – Williams Family – Leicestershire - What a fantastic place!  Gite 1 is absolutely beautiful – the sense of space, equipment in kitchen, decor and dishwasher are all great.  Everything spotlessly clean with food in when we arrived.  As everyone has said, Jeff & Julie are so friendly and helpful – nothing is too much trouble.  The views here are breathtaking and (lucky us) the weather to date has been wonderful.  We have loved the pool and the children will so miss Ruben and his poolside games with them.  We’ve visited lots of places: our favourites have been Brantôme and La Jemaye (both beautiful).  Also, the amazing church inside mountain at Aubeterre.  We are regulars to France and this has been our best gite ever… superb!

July 2008 – Akehurst Family – Essex - We have had a fantastic week and are reluctant to leave even though we still have two weeks in the South of France to look forward to!  We have had difficulty in getting the children to leave the pool.  Gite 2 has everything you need to enjoy your stay and many extras.  Julie & Jeff are wonderful hosts, going out of their way to unsure you enjoy your stay.  Ruben has stolen our children’s hearts (even the one who is scared of dogs)!  A Fanstastic week and thanks for our ‘only’ Anniversary card!!  Above & beyond!!  Will be back in 2009!

July 2008 – Turner Family – Manchester - Great location, fab gites, pool and hosts as everyone says.  This place is in the middle of 460km of Mountain bike trails, so little used – expect to be covered in spiders webs… brilliant!!!  Never saw a sole on the trails all week + there’s a downhill course near Riberac.  On top of that, wads to do and see – we feel we’ve just had a ‘taster’ this year.  Will definately be back – many thanks, loved it to bits.  ps   Enjoy deer spotting with a glass in your hand! xxx

July 2008 – Mr & Mrs Brown – Berks - We came away looking for a relaxing break and that is exactly what we’ve had.  The gite was perfectly equipped but the scenary has stolen the show – you could never get tired of the view!  We’ve been to some amazing places, Bergerac, Brantome & Hauteforte and tried some amazing wine; all round a perfect break.

June 2008 – Rhodes Family – Leeds – A great place for a quiet week, irrespective of the weather.  Great views and a really well appointed gîte with Jeff always on hand to troubleshoot – if required.  Area great to explore and recommendations include the lake at Le Jamay, Brantome and the Moulin de Pont restaurant at Lisle.  The games area looks like a boys heaven.  Julie & Jeff have got the place really well set-up for young families with everything very child friendly.  Thanks for a great week.

Jones – We have stayed at Jeff and Jule’s place a number of times now, the first time we stayed we were so impressed with the whole experience it was inevitable that we would return.  Each time we have been able to relax totally in this truly tranquil setting.  Your holiday can be what you want it to be, has your hosts are very flexible.  Thanks again, Jeff and Jules for looking after us and going that extra mile to make our holidays memorable.

June 2008 – Guilbert & Robinson Family – Guernsey –

Francis & John - Thank you for a lovely week.  Accommodation fabulous, clean & fresh.  Pool & surroundings very family orientated.  Thoroughly enjoyed the evenings and walks.  Ruben was a joy. Thank you Jeff & Julie – the place is a credit to you both.

Juliette, Ian & Esmée – Driving up was a delight after a very long journey.  Jeff & Julie were the perfect friendly, laid back hosts.  They were there when you needed them and gone when you wanted family time.  Kids loved pool and Ruben.  Beautiful views, perfect cosy accommodation and the welcome food hamper was a relief.  Saint Victor restaurant was great and the owner was very friendly.  Couldn’t ask for more.  Thank you!

John & Pat – We found the gîte well set-up and very clean, pool will be nice when hotter.  We would have no hesitation to recommend the accommodation and facilities. Thank you so much for all your kindness, it has been really lovely.  The gîte was spotless and what a lovely thoughtful thing to do to provide food (cheese, butter, bread, wine & ham) on our arrival.  The scenery beautiful and such wonderful hosts.  We have all enjoyed ourselves so much and if we do get back to France again we would love it to be here.  The only down thing is having to leave Ruben, we will miss him so much.  Thank you again and the very best of luck for your future.

May 2008 – Mr & Mrs Horton – Sussex – We fully intend to return – what better comment can we leave than that!

May 2008 – Mrs Evans – Had a wonderful time, the gites are lovely and area marvelous.  Thank you for making this a lovely holiday and we hope to come back again.  PS  Loved watching the Blue tits nesting in the hole in the wall.

Great part of France to chill out.  Julie & Jeff are great hosts as well as Ruben.  Weather was brilliant.  Will definitely come back.  All the best for the future.

May 2008 – Smith & Rothery Party – Milton Keynes & Daventry

Smith – Wonderful relaxing holiday. The gites are very comfortable with everything you need.  Nice little finishing touches make them a home from home.  Jules & Jeff are great hosts making you feel very welcome.  Great surroundings, fabulous views and so many pretty little hamlets to be found locally – at no extra charge!!!  We will certainly be telling friends and family about our lovely holiday and hope to return shortly.

Rothery – Location, Location, Location.  You have it all here.  What else can you say.  Julie & Jeff are fantastic hosts and make your stay very comfortable.  Thank you so much.  Will be back!

May 2008 – McInerney Cycling Party – Ireland (Repeat Bookers)!

Seamus Egan – A very comfortable gîte, beautiful scenery and good cycling territory – what more can you ask for.  Thank you Julie & Jeff for your friendship and help.

Jim Morahan – FRANCE IS FOR CYCLING – and this base of La Treille is the ultimate!  To Julie & Jeff for making it possible, many thanks!  I will be passing on the message.

Seamus O’Sullivan – No noise, no traffic and the beauty of the open countryside to be enjoyed in restful heavenly peace.  An oasis of peace in a mad, mad word.  A place where time stands still and  enhanced by Jeff & Julie who made us feel most welcome.  I met Jeff & Julie about a week ago and the feeling is that I have known them for much longer.  The informality they project, to me, is most welcome and it is sad to think we must soon go -  But go we must, as life’s demands dictate, but hopefully we may return, to once again enjoy, this heaven of peace and tranquility!

April 2008 – Morin Family, Paris
