Guest Book:
Great location with large sandy beach within a few moments walk. The accommodation exceeded expectation and more than catered for our needs. Having mod cons such as English games and electrical items continued to keep us entertained. The area has lots to see and do keeping the whole family entertained. We look forward to spending future holidays in your accommodation Mr E. Bristol UK.

I was very pleased with the house and how well it was fitted out and how spacious it was.
The town was excellent; not at all heavily touristy but very French and simple. The cycleways were wonderful and gave me enough confidence to ride on the ‘wrong’ side of the road. The rocky beach and the sandy one gave the best of both worlds from Mrs W. Eastleigh UK.
