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 first ‘family’ holiday – love the place, area, & definitely the wine! Thanks for everything!
Sharon, Ben & Thomas Kathrens. Wales.

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!

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.
