Tom and Maggie Gawthrop have lived in France for 19 years, and managed their holiday homes for over 18 years.
They make every effort to ensure that you get best out of the property and the area, and that you enjoy your stay and go home thinking you would like to come back again.
They are also dab hands at sorting out all those dreaded emergencies that you hope you will not have to cope with like car breakdowns, visits to the doctor or dentist.
If you fancy canoeing, horse riding, or going out for a meal, give them a call and they will be very happy to advise you.
