Nicholas and Anne Cicile were the perfect hosts and the house was absoultely delightful. The house itself was very clean,furnished to a high standard and very spacious (More than big enough to accomodate the 6 of us)
We had no problems finding the house and Nicholas was very good at keeping in touch and solving any problems or questions we had. (Very few as it turned out!)
The house was ideally situated for trips into Bordeaux too - we caught the bus from directly outside the house and it only took 15 munutes to get us into the middle of the city (And very cheaply too!)
The Pool and the Garden were delightful and we became particularly fond of the Chickens who visitied us most mornings and evenings!
The Pool was well maintained (As was the rest of the garden and grounds) and the whole environment was very child friendly indeed.
We made a couple of trips out to the coast (The Isle de Ferret) which was only an hour away (and fantastic) and shopping was very simple at the hypermarche just 5 minutes away.
The house was ideally located for the type of holiday we wanted - city break and beach break - but with the added bonus of being able to luxuriate in the Pool and wind-down for a couple of days in the enourmous and very private garden without having to worry about keeping the children entertained (There were plenty of outdoor garden games and activities available for the children)
I would recommend this house to anyone with a large family - it was a perfect break for us and both Nicholas and Anne-Ceccile couldn't have been more helpful and accomodating. :-)
Thanks a million - we had a fantastic time and would definitely return if we were to go to Bordeaux again.
