The house it’s self is superb - very well appointed with everything we could possibly need. Very comfortable beds and gorgeous outside deck space with gas BBQ. The gardens were lovely to look out over and I can’t rate the pool area highly enough. The pool area was immaculate and so comfortable to lounge around. The location is superb for access to Blaye and local beauty spots. Jean Paul and Isabell were always on hand if we needed anything but equally they gave us our privacy. The jazz bar on site is a must - lovely vibe and excellent wine. I can not think of anything that I would change or improve. We had a fabulous holiday and we will definitely be back. ##### Karen C.
