Disappointing
Nice host but property very old and tired and dirty as we needed to hoover everywhere and clean the shower. Walls covered in cobwebs which was a real shame as o lovely location. We left after two days and moved elsewhere which cost us an additional £500. Plus the stairs to the bedroom were too steep and dangerous and this should be mentioned in the advertisement and a large frog lived under the settee that appeared in the last day to say goodbye.

Fantastic time
Lovely place and fantastic location, Craig and Sue were great. Plenty of knowledge to give where the petrol stations were, supermarkets and places of interest. We loved our honeymoon here and would definitely return in the future. Thank you both for a great relaxing time.

Peaceful location
Enjoyed a relaxing, peaceful week, went out in the mornings visiting the nearby towns and villages, then home to sit by the lake listening to the birdsong. Enjoyed the fishing and the ducks which kept us company ! Overall a fantastic week, very lucky with the weather, we hope to return in the near future. Thank you Craig and Sue for being so helpful and welcoming.

Relaxing break
Beautiful spot, Sue and Craig are lovely hosts and very helpful. Ducks and cats stole the show. Worth returning to for another stay, could have sat by the lake all day.

An oasis
We had an amazing time here. The owners were brilliant. Craig was so helpful in finding us a place to get our PCR tests done for coming back to the UK. It'd a lovely spot and so peaceful by the lake with just the ducks for company.

Absolute heaven
Even though some of the weather wasn't ideal the stay at Sue and Craig's cottage was joyful. Normally takes us a couple of days to de-stress on holidays. Not here. A couple of hours. The aspect of the lake has an unbelievably good effect on you. The cottage is even better than the photos on the website. Large amounts of space and great comfort. Some of the sunsets are brilliant. The wild life is incredible and the ducks great fun. The test result here is we only went out in the evening 3 times in a fortnight. It was so enjoyable to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down over a BBQ. We would both thoroughly recommend a stay here.

A peaceful retreat.
Met by lovely hosts who were helpful friendly and non intrusive. Well equipped home, peaceful setting 5m from river. 3 min drive to supermarket and restaurant. Good base to explore a beautiful part of France. Would recommend without doubt.

An idyllic break
A lovely little cottage in a perfect spot. We loved our stay, it was a lovely peaceful place where we could just unwind and enjoy our break. The lake was a real bonus and the ducks brought smiles to our faces each day. Our hosts, Sue and Craig, are lovely people and nothing was too much trouble. Our only regret is that we didn't book for two weeks.

A lovely gite in a beautiful location
Craig and Sue were the perfect hosts. They were helpful when needed without being too attentive. The gite was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The lake was occupied by a family of ducks who very quickly became our 'welcome home brigade'. We found plenty of places to visit during our three-week stay, and the 'plat de jour' at the Lion d'Or restaurant was a regular highlight. I would recommend this gite to anyone wanting a quiet, relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting.

Picturesque peaceful getaway
Lovely comfortable cottage run by really nice people with a great little restaurant only 3 kms away and wonderful Fugeres 24 kms drive. Freindly hosts, ducks and Bob the cat. Highly recommended
