Visitors comments.

We have put a guestbook in each gite so that our customers can let us know what they think about us  - We have been absolutely overwhelmed with the feedback we received! Don't just take our word for how wonderful the place is, here are some snippets from our guests.

"Wow! What a fantastic place. The beautiful surroundings. Was Alab Titchmarsh here? And the gorgeous buildings speak for themselves, what a slice of French history. Nicki and David have, are doing themselves proud with the restoration, all their hard work is and will definitely pay off. Just brilliant - Fantastique !!"

The Wrights, Le Coin Fleuri.

"Thank you we have all had a wonderful holiday"

A & E Powling, Le Coin Fleuri.

"Brilliant location, wonderful accommodation - A good time had by all!"

 Family Hooper and Bailey, Le Coin Fleuri.

"Chateau de Gurat is an ideal, "take me as you find me, leave me as you find me" It's whatever you need it to be from the moment you enter its chalky gateways. It's somewhere to hang your wistful hat, pass time on your terms or share the simplest pleasures with like-minded souls. As an ideal and the expression of the owners, David and Nicki, the Chateau will remain reassuringly the same. All that's likely to change is you."

Mike and Liz P, Le Coin Fleuri.

"An all too brief, but memorable stay in la France profonde. David & Nicki are the perfect hosts, warm hearted and generous. We hope to come again and stay longer"

David & Liz S, Le Coin Fleuri.

"Wonderful hosts, beautiful gites and fantastic views. Angouleme - lovely place to visit, beautiful church. Great evening organised by David & Nicki on the wine tasting and an excellent opportunity to meet fellow holiday makers in the other gites. Fab time had by all - Definitely come back again"

The Hardy family, La Forge.

"Superb gites in beautiful countryside. Nicki and David have thought of everything to make us very comfortable. Villebois Lavalette's market hall is worth seeing but Brantome or St. Emilion must be visited, explored and enjoyed. We've had a marvellous time and I hope to come again - Soon"

Pat Guy, La Forge.

"Enjoyed our stay with you. Could not have been taken more care of. Every consideration given to us. Thank you so much. Needless to say the gite and scenery, etc., are exceptional."

And finally a poem!

We'd like to say thank you
The Needhams are just great
Their place is quite amazing
To return we just can't wait
We've mostly met the GROGS
Devotees you see...
(That's Gurat Repeat Offenders Group)
To both you and me
The gites are just delightful
The suppers are divine
We're all feeling larger
It must be all the wine!!
So thank you all a million
You've made it so much fun
Sad to be leaving
Our two weeks in the sun.
