Review Submitted: August 20, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Au Mauvais is a lovely farmhouse, with wonderful grounds. You do need to have a car to appreciate all the wonders this area offers. And to reach the nearest small shops but this just added to the experience. You could of course just as easly spend your whole time using the pool and grounds. My children never wanted to leave the pool, and enjoyed exploring the woods and river found flowing through it.
The neighbouring villages of Eymet, Allemans and Monsegur are well worth a visit. But Duras was spectaular in particular the castle.

The numerous wine caves need to been seen many are just huge sheds in peoples gardens but do not let this put you off, the wines we sampled were some of the best and were very resonably prices.

We had a wonderful holiday at 'Au Mauvais'. The house was glorious, so much room, & everything we wanted was there - you have thought of everything! The children and parents loved the pool. We all had a marvellous time and can thoroughly recommend it..................

We had a lovely holiday in your house, I can honestly say it was the cleanest and most comfortable we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in quite a few!). I really wished I could pick the house up and bring it home. Everything was perfect!................

We had a lovely time, thank you. I particularly appreciated things like the nice bed linen, good pans, and smart cooker - maybe I'm just getting old! The girls were very impressed by the video collection. We all appreciated the spaciousness and general standard of comfort. The standard of cleanliness and freshness was excellent too - which really helps make it a holiday!................
