Stunning Location

High Peak Family Glossop
Review Submitted: July 29, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The Chateau and grounds are absolutely stunning. We were welcomed warmly by the owners and offered all the assistance we required to enjoy our one week stay. We had chosen one of the Gite's in the grounds overlooking the lovely pool. The property was clean and well equipped and ideal for a family of 4. Each property has its own garden furniture, barbeque and feel very private. We saw bats, birds of prey, deer and other wild life in the grounds. Swam in the underlit pool until late evening and played table tennis in the barn. There is also a badmington and football field and beautiful walks in the woods and surrounding farmland, if you feel that energetic. If you want to sightsee then the beautiful village of Aubettere with canoe hire and a small lake is a short drive away and Cognac & Bergerac an hour away and worthy of a visit. Despite the secluded feeling of the Chateau the local town of Chalais is within 10 minutes easy walk and has everthing you need for your holiday including regular markets, supermarket and traditional shops. We had a lovely family holiday and would certainly recommend the property.
Owner's Response: We'd like to thank the latest occupants of Le Joli Coin for their kind comments and to say what a pleasure it was to have such a content & pleasant family for our holiday guests. Our little cottage was left spotlessly clean after their departure and we were very sorry to see them leave, needless to say they are most welcome anytime.
I think the layout of this cottage works so well suiting either two couples or a couple with older children.
