We were especially comfortable with how clean it was. We had a great week as part of a great 4 weeks in France a memorable trip for the whole family. Thanks and best, Ed.' Thanks Mr & Mrs Harris We had a lovely stay in Le Beau Sejour, The house was clean & tidy & all the amenities that you might need, the dishwasher was a welcome sight after all, who wants to be washing pots when you can be out side enjoying the French countryside. We found it to be a good base to visit the surrounding area's such as La Roche Posse, being only a few minutes drive away. We found the house very much to our taste very French farmhouse & the pool was a welcoming sight after a hard day's sight seeing, the surrounding villages we're very pretty as if they have been locked in a time warp. We would recommend our friends to go & visit. TRES BIEN, MERCI BEAU COUP. Nigel & Alison Vallance. Send to a Friend:  Send to a Friend-Click Here
