Fabulous!

By Gillian, Melbourne on 21-Oct-2023

Fabulous! The hospitality was superb, never before had the opportunity to have superb dinner with our hosts. The Morgan car was such fun; loved exploring the countryside. A private tour of a Cognac cave was a highlight. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, especially if you want to treat yourself to driving a Morgan!

A perfect holiday

By Lyn, Pontypool on 23-Sep-2023

Stayed in Manor Cottage for a week. The cottage was of an exceptionally high standard and beautifully presented. It had everything one needed for a perfect holiday. Hosts, Lyn & Graham were so helpful without being intrusive. Will not hesitate to return.

Great hosts

By John on 04-Jul-2023

Diane and I stayed in Manor Cottage for a week in June/July. We couldn''t recommend it too highly. The cottage is lovely, spacious and well equipped. The outside spaces are a delight, we ate breakfast at the front, outside the kitchen, and lunch and dinner in the courtyard. The wider garden and orchard are also lovely areas to explore, watch the cats, birds and butterflies and to relax in. There is a background of birdsong. The pool area is as good as any we have enjoyed in France. The cottages are on the edge of small village, surrounded by vineyards. Lyn and Graham are great hosts
