Guest Reviews Of Le Petit Gite
Anthony Croxall
9/11/11
Dear Bal, Aaran & Rocky, Thank you for the little touches - the baby swing bought out for Adam, the walnuts & beetroot and the quiet conversations giving us information, yes but also establishing a friendly outlook to new faces.
The Grand Gite gives great flexibility and works well for an extended family. The weather started off poorly for us - but a good soaking is what France needed people kept telling us. Glad to say it picked up towards the end of the week and we managed to get to the beach 3 days running. One of the highlights was The Dunes de Pilate and Pons is a good place to sit & watch the people. We appreciated the lovely quiet to return to, and the easy environment to barbecue with Rocky in waiting. Then chat, play cards till bedtime!
Thanks especially to you Bal.
