GUEST COMMENTS
Dear Hazel, dear
David,
again, thank you very much for our "chill-out" in France. Your
property is very very nice, (especially the Lodgehouse is lovely). I miss that
French region and style already. Especially the guy from the "boulangerie". He
has really the best croissants and chocolatines.
See you soon!

Martin Wiese
Many thanks again for your wonderful hospitality and the great
accommodation. We had a fantastic time and would recommend you to anyone both in
terms of facilities and hospitality but also location with reasonable drives to
the coast and to both puy de fou and to futuroscope, all of which we thought
were fantastic.
