Comments from Belgian family:-
Cet endroit magnifique me rappelle les villages de mon enfance. Thank you so much for your warm welcome.(parents)

I spent a good holiday here and I'm sad to leave. The pool was fantabulous. The cottage was really cosy and the view from my window was very beautiful. The swimming pool was spotless and well equipped. Thank you Ann and Colin - this was one of my best holidays ever.
J'ai passe des bons moments. Merci pour ces bonnes vacances. Ann et Colin, merci, d'avoir ete si chaleureuse avec nous. Grace a toi Ann, les fleurs sont merveilleuses. Grace a toi Colin la piscine etait propre et surtout geniale.
(9 year old daughter)

We have had a superb time and will have lots of lovely memories. The cottage and the pool are everything we hoped for and you have been so kind and helpful. It's so lovely to close your eyes and hear nothing. Yet the area has so much to offer - the donkey centre, Royan, St Jean d'Angely, Cognac and so on.
Thank you again.
