We no longer require the advertisement for our holiday cottage as we have sold our house and are returning to the UK. I would like to say that I think French Connections is a fantastic site for holidays and I congratulate you on the service of your staff who are always most helpful, and on the way you continually improve the site. Thank you.

The above property has now been sold, so please delete from your sales site.
May I thank you very much for your help, the new owners found Le Mesnil on the internet via your sales site.

Hi there!
I will be renewing for 2009. I should say that of the two websites on which we are advertising the property yours easily outdid the other mainly because you are not spreading yourselves far and wide like the other one concentrating on holidays in France. So dont change! We are full until end September and have been for the whole of May as well. Kind regards
