This was our first driving holiday to France and although we were nervous it turned out to wonderful and we will definately be doing it again. A large part of the success was the accomodation.
The site is well located close to the local villages and easily accessible from the highway (although we did get a bit lost on the way in).
The unit itself is clean and well set up. Since there are only two units on the site it we found it very peaceful and relaxing. Our kids (7,7 and 10) spent most of their time in the pool and exploring the gardens but we also took them on walks around the area and even managed a few bike rides (the bikes were kindly provided by our hosts). Access to wifi on site also was very useful.
A few highlights:
* On arrival we found a most delightful welcome pack of local wine, bread and spreads provided by our hosts.
* Popping off early in the morning to get fresh baguettes, and eating them on the patio with fresh coffee.
* Visiting the local market in Blane, getting fresh sardines and trying to cook them.
* Visting Bordeaux which is magnificent.

The gite was comfortable and spotlessly clean, with lovely linen on the beds and a delicious welcome pack of cheeses, fruit, veg and wine to greet us on our arrival. Suzanne and Laars were wonderful hosts. Nothing was too much trouble, they were kind and friendly and did all they could to make our stay a happy one. They even found a child's bike for my daughter to ride.
The pool was crystal clear and delightfully warm to swim in, with sun loungers and lovely shady trees along one side for when the sun got too hot. The swing set (shaded by trees) and sandpit were visible from the gite, making supervision easy and the terrace was great to eat out on and relax. We made full use of the barbeque too.
We had planned to do a lot of sightseeing, but in the end it was so relaxing to sit by the pool and stroll around the beautiful garden that we spent more time that we had expected at the gite.
We had a great time. Thank you.
