Gite Testimonials |
Superb Holiday
The location of the gite is fantastic, set in a quiet rural
location, but only a 10 minute walk from the restaurants and sights
of Brantome. The gite is well maintained, spotless and extremely
easy to live & relax in with everything necessary there and the
large pool is great. Julia & Richard have a lovely discreet touch
and were always available when we needed advice on where to go or
eat. The area has lots of places to visit including Bourdeilles &
Perigueux. All in all a superb place to stay, relax and explore the
area. Mike and Teresa

Exceptional level of customer service
Richard and Julia could not have
been more helpful and even managed to squeeze in a 5th person into
the Gite and were very accommodating to my demands. I would
recommend this gite as an excellent venue for a relaxing holiday
with a high standard of accommodation. If you are going to Brantome
make sure that you get Richard to take you canoeing on the Dronne.
He is an expert!

Excellent Gite
with friendly and helpful owners
We had a brilliant week, temperatures 30+ in September. The gite is
excellent with everything that is needed and more. We particularly
enjoyed the swimming pool and barbecues in the garden, which has a
pleasant rural outlook. The owners Julia and Richard are very
friendly making you feel very welcome. Brantome is beautiful with
many good restaurants; the pizzeria in the cave with the traditional
wood fired was exceptional. We will miss Lulu the cat who adopted us
during our stay and was always on hand to say hello and join in.

Charming place to stay
I spent a week in the gite working on a marketing strategy, and found it
quiet, restful and quite charming! The nearest town, Brantome is only a
10-15 minute walk away, and one of the loveliest places in France. Strolling
down there through the fields to pick up a pain de campagne and chat to the
locals was one of the highlights of my stay. The owners of the gite, Richard
and Julia, were charming and gracious hosts, discreet but always available
on request with an extra bottle of red wine, or some firewood for the open
fire. I would highly recommend this gite, a beautiful place to stay in one
of the loveliest parts of France! Bon appetit! Angela, London October

Beautiful Brantome
gite
Right from the start,
the owners, Richard and Julia, were incredibly kind, helpful and welcoming.
The gite is beautifully decorated, well-equipped and comfortable, with the
sort of thoughtful little extras - like tea, coffee, milk and juice already
waiting for us - that make any holiday so much more easy and pleasant.
The locality is very pretty and the surrounding land just begs you to go for
long walks - if you can tear yourself away from the stunning swimming pool.
Julia and Richard are honest about warning visitors that the pool is very
deep, but with constant supervision - which any parent would do anyway - my
three-year-old (and I) had a wonderful time in the shallows. It's unusual to
find such a stylish place which is also child-friendly. The only problem we
had was failing to get a connection to the gite's wi-fi. Richard and Julia
bent over backwards to help us - even phoning previous guests who has used
it, for advice - but to no avail. Still, for back-up, there is an internet
cafe in Brantome. We've stayed in a lot of gites, but this one gets 5 stars
from us and we only wish we'd discovered it earlier. If you're happy staying
somewhere, it's often high praise to say it felt like home, but this was
much better - it's like living in the home you wish you had!

Note from
Julia and Richard:
The internet issue has now been resolved, and you can
receive excellent reception in the gite.
