Hibiscus Cottage: An idyllic rural retreat in 'La France profonde'. The view from the garden is superb, day and night! The sky is breathtaking on a clear night. Jean-Pierre and Geeta Le Tissier, Bromley, August 2007.
Hibiscus Cottage: We've spent a wonderful 8 days being able to relax and drink plenty of cider and wine and eat too much pate (from the charcuterie in St Dolay) and too much bread (from the wonderful boulangerie in St D)-not to mention the moules and galettes. Vicky and Ian, Oundle, August 2007.
Hibiscus Cottage:A wonderful 10 days’ holiday. We have biked in all directions and really enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the quite roads and woodland paths. We think that Hibiscus is ‘ours’ and hope that everyone who stays there does too. Tim and Alison, Sussex, August 2008.
Hibiscus Cottage: I have enjoyed every moment here . . . such peace and tranquillity. Jean, Halifax, August 2008.
Hibiscus Cottage: What a joy to come back to Hibiscus after a day working on our boat. It was lovely to warm up in front of the log fire, and the cooker worked fine in -8 ºC after a switch to propane. We’re looking forward to staying again. John and Dominique, Stoke Poges, January 2009.

The Barn: The Barn has exceeded my expectations. I can't remember being so relaxed and worry-free. Janice and dog Ernie, Minnesota USA, January 2007.

The Barn: Thanks for ma whirlwind visit. We look forward to seeing the black kites and ibis in a little more leisurely style in a future occasion. Neil and Anne, Leicestershire, September 2007
The Barn: A perfect two weeks recovering from the stresses of the educational rat-race. When we’ve not been walking, bird-watching, sampling the local food and wine, we’ve been sleeping for England. Margaret and Frank, Warrington.
The Barn: A welcome two-week break. Once here, no real need for a car apart from the odd trip to La Roche—a lovely place. Walking the circuits or just wandering the local lanes and paths provided excitement enough and it was good to watch the various stages of haymaking on the marsh. Jeremy and Maggie, Winchester.
