The Murphy's have had another cracking week at this lovely cottage. Highlights were canoeing from Limeuil and the rounders match organised by Tony, Felix and Ellie. Wonderful hosts, amazing weather.
Thank you all.

Val Keast

What a pleasure to be "hosted" by such a lovely family as yours, in such a beautiful place in an enchanting part of France. The wine has all gone, but the memories will remain. Thank you all so much for all your family's help in making this a memorable holiday.

The McAlpines

We had a wonderful time in the cottage. The attention to detail and personal touches make the accomodation a lovely place to relax and enjoy.
Sky tv, dvd players and old school games went down very well with our girls ( 9+5 ) when the "pluie" interrupted the blue skies. WiFi for big people is a real plus too.
Homemade jams (fig is yum) and fresh eggs and delicious raspberries were a real treat. Tony and Sonia were superb hosts who are always on hand with advice, local knowledge (do ask them) and friendly chat.
Our favourite places were Bergerac, Perigueux and Riberac and Dune de Pyla (huge sand dune, 2 hrs drive but stunning).
Our week flew by in this home from home which we are sad to leave.

Thank you Sonia and Tony for a very warm welcome and making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Having done a thorough tasting, I think the plum jam got the gold star, apricot a close second - naturally strawberry didn't make it! Great tips from Tony- but we didn't see the kingfisher. But Park and Ride in Bordeaux very useful. Recommend Le Relais de Gabillou in particular- quality and quantity and we enjoyed a great day in Bordeaux. Thanks again.

The Pullens

A wonderful stay had by the Pullen family (girls 4 and 2). The situation and location are brilliant. In particular we all enjoyed Etang de la Jemaye (lake with sandy beach, playground and café!). St Emilion is definitely worth a visit (but don't take the pushchair!) Perigueux is beautiful and good for restaurants and shops. Finally our favourite market was St Astier, which is a very picturesque town. Thank you for making our stay so special, we hope to visit again!

Unfortunately global warming seems to have bypassed La Feuillade this week with quite un- seasonable weather ( we even had the wood burner on.) However it did not rain all of the time (just most) and allowed us to get out to Perigueux , Bergerac etc, and also to do a little walking (highly recommended) at Etang Jamaye and St Laurent des Hommes.
Visited a couple of local restaurants (Auberge de Musée and Le Relais de Gabillou) and would recommend both for great food at good prices.
Finally a quick word on the fishing. despite all the rain (and consequent muddy brown fast water), the river once again yielded good catches of Bream, Roach and Ide.Thank you Sonia and Tony for your hospitality which makes La Feuillade a truly outstanding place to stay.
