Ardderchog!! (Ed – Welsh, we think!).
Dioich yn faur! (Ed – does anyone know whether or not we should
be reproducing this part of the guest book or not??!). Thanks for a fantastic

definitely the wine! Thanks for everything!

Excellent place
– would love to return. Thanks for all your help and making our
friends and babies welcome.

Everything
you could want from a holiday (and then some!) for all ages. The service
provided by the Cooks is exemplary – they even found us a home in
France! (nearby –was this such a smart move?!?). PS There were eleven
of us here and even when it rained there was room for eleven plus. PPS
If you remember the 11+ then you’re as old as me…!
William & Jo Booth Davey and most of the extended family. England.
1st – 8th July 2005
Dear M and Stu – to paraphrase your
(late, great) fellow Brit George Orwell: ‘All gites are equal, except
some are more equal than others’. Yours is definitely more equal.
Your place is a labour of love…and we loved it! Your hospitality,
friendship, helpfulness, and kindness were unanticipated…but so
truly appreciated. As Bogey (Ed – Humphrey Bogart) uttered in the
Casablanca fog of’44: ‘Frenchy – this could be the start
of a beautiful relationship.’ Merci beaucoup!!!
Kathy & Phil Andrew. Alamo, California, USA
Without you
daring and fortitude places like this would not be accessible to us. Thank
you!

Ellie sooo

such a wonderful home away.
Matt, Nicole & Ellie Andrews. USA.

Our Guests
We have had guests from the UK, Hong Kong, the USA and Canada
Type of party
Parties seem to fall into two groups: extended families spanning three generations, and groups of friends.
The provision of facilities, particularly the ensuites in every bedroom, are well suited to both.
Whilst there are terraces etc that accommodate a whole party of 10/12, there are also a number of quiet little spots on the property for those in search of their own space.
