Guest Comments:

So sad to be leaving after a wonderful two weeks with you. We shall never forget the curries or the Yorkshire puddings. Your natural gifts of warmth, friendship, hospitality and goodness are an inspiration and a joy. We will be back soon for a third year"

"Thank you Roger and Carole for a great time. The 6pm sessions were a joy and much fun was had by all. We enjoyed your comfortable gite (home from home). Time has flown past and we must come back so we can take in more sites in this wonderful area. See you both soon."

"We have had a relaxing and peaceful holiday. Roger and Carole have been kind, helpful and very generous hosts. The garden is beautiful and Rogers fruit and veg takes you back to your childhood. Thank you"

"A very happy restful week. Complaints; Too welcoming on arrival.  Too quick with bedside lamps we asked for. Too much lovely stuff out of the garden. Too many Yorkshire puddings; Too helpful with petrol cap emergency; Too much hospitality at dinner; Too long before we see you again.

"A house hunting trip made so much easier because of the enormous help and friendliness of Roger and Carole. I don't think that we would have been successful without their help and advice. Two wonderful people and a lovely holiday home. You have been fantastic, your house is beautiful and we have had a superb time. Looking forward to seeing you soon."
