Bonne vacance en France
What an idyllic place to stay at.
Mary is a very interesting lady who is a published author. A very knowledgeable and hospitable lady who cannot do enough for you. Her English was certainly better than my French!
Eggs regularly left for us, then homemade jam and some homegrown courgettes. We were very well looked after.
The local farmers wife even brought fresh milk to us on our first morning.
The location is peaceful and very much in the countryside. Carrouges and Saint Martins are not far away and it's only about 30 minutes to Lidl or other supermarkets.
The Gite is very accommodating and suited the 10 of us very well. Not sure how I would cope with more people but it is doable.
The property is work in progress so please do not go expecting the Hilton! It is a typically French country property that is being renovated. There is a fantastically sized dining room and a lot of outdoor space in which to socialise and dine in also.
We found all the facilities more than adequate for our needs and there was never an issue with using the bathrooms and number of showers available.
Only negative points were that the beds were harder and smaller than we were used to and not enough storage for clothes in some of the rooms. This is of course very subjective.
The pool was a delight and Mary's granddaughters made our children feel very welcome.
Our stay at Mary's was exactly what the Doctor ordered, relaxing and peaceful.
Thank you Mary for a wonderful stay. Would like to return once completed.
