Holiday JULY 08

dukey Worcestershire
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Beautiful cottage with lovely views over the countryside. Excellent facilities,all to hand. The property was clean and well maintained.The weather was lovely most of the week, so children enjoyed the pool and BBQ s.
The cottage is quite remote so a car is a must, but towns only 15 min drive away. Worth a visit to the Beaches .
Would highly recommend this property to friends looking for a peaceful escape.

Another excellent holiday

Review Submitted: August 25, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This is the second time we have stayed here. The cottage is equiped with everything you need need for a comfortable stay, the kitchen is home from home with every utensil and more including a very handy dishwasher. The living room is very comfortable with Sky TV video/DVD player, CD player, games, books and DVD's to watch, 2 good size bedrooms and large bathroom with washer/dryer. Outside has a fantastic large swimming pool and once the sun starts to go down fire up the barbeque for good food and wine with great company and wonderful surroundings. The cottage is in beautiful area with views as far as the eye can see, Tony and Mary who look after the place are very friendly and an invaluable source of information, we would highly recommend the cottage to anybody and we will be going again soon. For a special meal we would recommenf the Tete au loupe which is a 5 minute drive away, the food and service is awesome, we had a wonderful meal on our anniversary. All in all a great cottage in beautiful surroundings. A real credit to Miriam and Greg.

'We had a lovely time and your cottage is beautiful, we had 4 days of pure sunshine and the thermometer hit 115 degrees. We will definitely stay with you again as everything was perfect.' C & S, UK. August 2006.

'I can't thank you enough for being the cause of just the greatest holiday we have ever had. The Gite itself was beautiful and beautifully presented. It was perfectly situated to let us take in a lot of sights. Thanks again to you both. I can't think of a single way this holiday could have been better.' C McA, N.I. July 2006.

'I have to say that we had an absolutely fantastic time, your Gite is not only lovely to look at and tastefully decorated with excellent facilities it is in one of the most marvellous locations we have had the pleasure of staying in. The view is spectacular as is the patio area and pool.' BY, UK. July 2006.
