We loved our stay in the gite. The area was so peaceful and relaxing and the gite felt cosy and homely. Bobby was extremely helpful and a great host. Days out were a nice drive out with beautiful scenery - we will definitely be going back

My wife and I have just spent a wonderful, relaxing week at Gite Chez Marot. The owner and host Bobby provides an attentive yet very discreet presence, always willing to provide suggestions and directions to ensure you make the most of your holiday. The Gite, set in a very tranquil area is provided with all home comforts was immaculately clean. On arrival there was a pleasant surprise from the owner, a basic welcoming pack of wine of food. It is extremely convenient for food shopping and fresh bread and is the perfect springboard for sight seeing/eating out. We will return, thanks Bobby - Allan & Jennifer

Stayed here for 4 nights in April. Bobby the owner could not have been more helpful with the arrangements for our stay, even lighting a fire for us before we arrived as the weather was cool. The gite is spacious, light and very well equipped, it had everything and more to make our stay comfortable. The gite was very clean with high quality fixtures, meaning it was a really comfortable stay. The gite is in a very small hamlet, surrounded by countryside. For those wanting peace and tranquility and to completely relax away from it all, this is the place to come! A car is vital, but there are several villages and towns with restaurants etc a short drive away. A small price to pay for the amazing peace! Although the weather in April was showery, the two private terraces with bbq etc would be wonderful during the summer months. We really hope to get back to the area to stay here again, and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone!
