'Have loved this beautiful place: the chestnut candles, the new leaves on the vines, the cuckoo in the morning, fireside in the evening, abundant wine, delicious food. C'est parfait - merci!"

'Quite frankly it’s impossible not to enjoy yourself here. With the sun out and the doors open, the glorious outside beckons. With the rain lashing down, the open fire brings out the best in everyone. We also had a huge amount of Bauduc! Gavin and Angela are so welcoming that it’s impossible not to feel at home.' 'Such a fabulous time! We were so lucky with some great weather and we enjoyed a wonderful Easter here. Great trips to Bordeaux, St Emilion and Les Sources de Caudalie and a great tour of the vineyard from Gavin. Enjoyed lots of the local food and the delicious Bauduc wines!'

'What a special place. Thank you so much for being fabulous hosts. We all had a wonderful time - we particularly enjoyed our hike up the dunes, and the boys loved their pony trek. Playing in the pool - hard to beat, followed by fish from the market and all washed down with yummy wine! Until next time.'

'What a glorious place! We have loved our week in the farmhouse and thank you so much for your hospitality and welcoming attention. I so enjoyed the vineyard tour - so interesting and have learnt a lot about the juice we have enjoyed so much this week. It's been a bit of a grastronomic week - great visit to Europe's biggest sand dune at Plage Pilat, and even better visit to Plage Petit-Nice watching the rollers and hang gliders. Fantastic beach.'

The creperie in the same square is also delicious, but first chill, be patient, watch the world go by, as they are not quick – but it’s worth it!'

Gavin – we will be quoting your bons mots, thanks for the tour & tasting.'

Joanna, Will & Aly, Els & Matt, Jax, Freya, Thea and Freddie, August 2023
'A truly fabulous time was had by all. Parfait! The farmhouse is the best ever for us – encircled by vines; so well equipped; a never ending supply of wine (subsidised); many an evening walk around the yards.
Highlights (aside from the Estate):
- St Marcaire – medieval sword fighting
- St Emilion – lunch in the most beautiful village
- St Angela – Uber services
- Bordeaux – a fine city
- Ch Roquetaillade & de la Brede
The history of the English & French everywhere to be seen.
Above all, it was a great family time relaxing together- swim, eat, drink repeat.'
'Well, what a fantastic two weeks we have all had. It's the first time in three years that we have all been able to get together for a holiday. We have celebrated two wedding anniversaries. The farmhouse and swimming pool have been perfect in this heat. We have also enjoyed several bottles of Bauduc wine.'

Great wine, beautiful scenery and very comfortable farmhouse. Loved the tour. Many thanks.
We followed some previous recommendations that all worked out well – Chateau Roquetaillade is worth a visit (book a tour in English beforehand if you needed to). We had perfect weather and were made very welcome by Gavin. The farmhouse and pool suited us all very well.
