What an amazing, beautiful place! The gite is stunning, the location gorgeous and peaceful. Very happy indeed! Plus Graeme and Graziella were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again.

David and Paula

Fantastic first holiday place for toddler and tired Mum and Dad. Ziggy had all the space to roam in a safe environment and learned to to love the family pets. Loads to see and do around the gite, but the time spent on the farm was perfect for Mum and Dad.

Enjoyed our stay - thanks for the warm welcome. The welcome pack especially appreciated

Ciaran and Liz

We spent a wonderful week in late October. The gites are imaginatively converted and furnished to a very high standard, Also ideally placed for day trips. But apart from seeing something of the surrounding area, it's important to spend some time at Les Cygnes itself. The old farmhouse and converted barns are surrounded by rolling French countryside, and the nearby villages have a calm, unhurried air. We shall certainly return
