customer comment for the Farmhouse

6-6-09 to 13-6-09

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful farmhouse, so stylishly furnished and spotlessly clean.
Nigel and Suzanne have been wonderful hosts, with lots of helpful local information. We can also recommend the beach at Fouras and the wonderful relaxed atmosphere at Ile de Ré. For days when the weather is less than perfect, the zoo at Palmyre and the Aquarium at La Rochelle provide great distractions.
Olivia (almost 2) will be demanding a trampoline and full equipped wendy house on her return to grey old England. We hope to return one day soon.
Thanks alot!

23/05/2009 - 30/05/2009

We loved the setting of the house and the total peace and quiet. Excellent beaches at Châtelaillon and Fouras. Lovely to walk around St. Martin on Île de Ré and la Rochelle.
Loved the hospitality here and the new addition - the swimming pool! An excellent place to return to.

What a splendid week, plenty to do & see, but for us a total chill-out. Île de Ré was beautiful and the food devine especially for the seafood lovers.
Nigel and Suzanne are the perfect hosts, thank you both for your hospitality.

Testing the water

At last the pool has the liner fitted and it has taken 3 days and nights to fill with water.

Updates on the swimming pool

We have at last finished all the cementing around the pool, in french it is called 'La Plage' the beach. Here are some before & after photo's.

Le Pressoir,

We are currently finishing off tiling the floor to our new gite 'le Pressoir'. We are opening it at the end of May 09, here are some photo's of the bedroom & hallway.

Swimming pool 2009

The steps in the shallow end have been installed and the floor of the pool has been smoothed out. We've ordered the liner and now we are just waiting for it to be made, hopefully it should be ready by mid May. Next all the pipe work & electrics has to be connected in the pool house.
