What you have created in france is stunningly beautiful and a perfect piece of paradise!!
12th August 2019 - Julie & family
Had a fantastic time. Something for everyone. Kids loves the swimming pool and the tree house. They enjoyed feeding the animals. Had a go at zip wire and archary. The men really enjoyed the fishing, caught Carp so they were very happy. Had bbq every night. Ian and Gill were fantastic hosts. Full of knowledge. Most helpful. Enjoyed it so much arranged to go again next year before leaving. House has everything you need. Never had the TV on all week. Would definitely recommend it.
1st August 2019 - Dan & Vicky
What an amazing beautiful place, we enjoyed our time here so much, Gill and Ian are so helpful and as for the fishing its bang on managed to fish for a few hours each day after spending great time with family and had some good catches resulting in a
41lb mirror, 32lb mirror, 2x 28lb common and 2 smaller common
Would definitely recommend this place for families and fishermen it's got everything you need its clean tidy loads of activities, pool, hot tub, sauna, and real good fishing so if your looking for a nice family break and want a bend in your rod get down there.
7th July 2019 - Jane & all
Great holiday for fishing or family and great for both. Lovely area and stunning views. Plenty of space for 7 of us. 3 year old grand daughter loved the animals and having pool to herself. Some big carp caught by the boys. Everyone loved the archery and wished they hadn't left till last day! Would maybe hire a car next time as roads quiet. Thanks to Gill and Ian for airport lifts and supermarket runs. Would highly recommend.
