Some kind words from our guest book
Fiona Thompson – April 2024 – La Secharie
we had fantastic holiday despite the weather gods being a bit unkind! Jenny and Ken are the perfect hosts and gave us lots of ideas for lovely places to visit. We liked the fact that the gite was on the edge of town and we could walk to the supermarket. Absolutely everything was provided including a welcome pack and multi socket extension leads – so useful. We explored the gorgeous countryside on our bikes using the recommended routes and enjoyed visiting Aubeterre, Brantome and St Emilion. The grounds and pool are gorgeous. Can’t recommend this place highly enough and would love to come back
Tracey Jolliffe – June 2023 – L’Atelier du Bouton
Jenny and Ken are lovely hosts and feel they have put a lot of effort into giving guests a lovely holiday.
Would go back in a heartbeat.
Vicky Moore – July 2023 – Les Baignades
This is our 4th visit to La Tannerie. It’s such a welcoming place and the new owners are extremely accommodating and helpful. We love the place- the Gites are really comfortable and very well equipped. The pool is fab. The grounds are really well kept and so pretty. There’s great games box and ping pong table and swings. The town is 2 minute walk away with supermarket, chemist, restaurants etc. we will definitely be returning.
Just back from fabulous stay here with our two boys aged 4 and 1. There are so many details that we really appreciated about the gites that we haven’t always experienced in France, for example multiple tea towels, pool towels included for no extra price, sharp kitchen knives, loads of great quality cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. We were amazed by the generous ‘welcome pack’, my partner so appreciated the cold beer after a 5 hour drive! Jen is a wealth of knowledge and had so many brilliant suggestions for us that we loved. She even booked the local restaurant for my partners birthday for us.
They are perfectly set up for young children – our place had a secure garden, brilliant high chair, stair-gate, plastic bowels and plates, and a baby monitor. Jen even lent us a paddling pool to put up near the pool. Jen and Ken are super sweet, with endless patience engaging out very chatty 4 year old in conversation!
I think it’s rare to find somewhere with so much beauty and space but just a short walk away from restaurants, shops etc. It was so lovely not to have to get in the car every time we needed something. A very special place.
Franchise Quivoron – July 2023 – Les Baignades
Ken and Jen are great hosts: the gites are suitable for family holidays with a secure swimming pool, large play area for children and various games provided. Thanks to them for their welcome, their kindness and their discretion. And for the gastronomic “attentions” upon our arrival in the house.
Address to remember to stay there with family and discover a beautiful region. Lots of activities in the surroundings: canoeing, lakes, playground with tree climbing….and small towns to visit, local markets
There are so many beautiful places to visit in the area, recommend driving or hiring a car.
Jenny & Ken have ensured the gites have everything you might need for your stay! The Welcome pack was so appreciated too. The gite was spacious and so comfortable, home from home with a lovely private terrace.
Our hosts know the area well so had really useful tips and recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, markets and parking etc.
The pool is gorgeous! Plenty of space, loungers & sunshades. The grounds are pretty and well maintained with garden games available.
Thoroughly recommend La Tanerie for your holiday, whether as a family or a couple.
See you again!
