We thoroughly enjoyed the roomy gite – the place is so quiet and relaxing with the chirping birds, especially in the morning.   EL,   Victoria, Canada.  April 2011

We have had a lovely week and been so lucky with the weather.  Ian and Sandra have been so welcoming and helpful and the gite has been really comfortable and safe for our 1 year old child.  Thanks for helping us to have a much needed and relaxing holiday.  AB,  Stroud, UK.  April 2011

We’ve had the most relaxing week.  The gite has everything you could possibly need (and more).  Thank you Ian and Sandra for the most relaxing holiday, amazing weather and the breathtaking sunsets.  EH, Wrexham, UK.  April 2011

Such a delightful place we have shared at Les Petites Cigognes.  Thank you for doing such a fine job of providing us with such a peaceful abode.  We’ve made many trips in this beautiful countryside, enjoyed wonderful meals and saw some fantastic chateaux.  What a delightful part of the world.  Thanks for a memorable holiday with family and friends.  LG,   Virginia Beach USA.  April 2011

We were not disappointed by our fourth visit.  We explored the area on bikes this time and have experienced some wonderful sights.  Huge thanks go to Ian and Sandra who look after us so well.  See you next year, can’t wait.  In the meantime we’ll live with the memories of yet another wonderful time at Les Petites Cigognes.  TE,   Rothbury, UK.  April 2011

Thank you for the lovely accommodation.  It was absolutely wonderful staying here. We never know what we’re going to find when reserve something over the internet but this truly is a treasure.  The setting was just so peaceful and tranquil, what better way to recharge our batteries.  Thank you so much for the excellent advice on where to go and what to see whilst staying here. 

JD,   Calabash, USA.  May 2011 

We rented all 3 gites and had a really fantastic time.  There is so much to see and do here and the gites are so beautiful.  Thank you for being so helpful and accommodating with all our requests, we hope to come back sometime soon.  TW,   West Molesey, UK.  May 2011

We chose Les Petites Cigognes for a family holiday and travelled from distant parts.  We were not disappointed at all.  The gites are beautiful with every convenience.  Our hosts were always helpful, cheerful and obliging.  We had such a wonderful time.  It will always be a holiday to remember.

The gardens and pool are lovely.  You have obviously put in a great deal of effort.  MS,   Poole, UK.  June 2011

A great week here with our family of 7.  We were welcomed with a big smile and an extremely welcoming atmosphere.  We hope to return. 

KH    McHenry, USA.  June 2011

It’s been a joy staying here and as many before have recorded Sandra and Ian are truly fabulous patrons with a lovely venue for happy holidays.  Highlights have been a day-trip to Paris, all very easy and organised via the internet, and Bastille Day celebrations with the spectacular fireworks on the bridge at Descartes. 

FL,   Preston, UK.  July 2011

We had a lovely holiday exploring the Loire.  Les Petites Cigognes is a great holiday gite, clean, comfortable and practical.  We are travelling with a toddler and it’s a breath of fresh air to stay somewhere that is completely toddler friendly, making our holiday a lot more relaxing.  We will certainly be recommending Les Petites Cigognes to our friends and family.  We loved eating and barbecuing on the terrace.  The only noise was the farmers tending their fields.  It’s quite obvious Sandra and Ian have put a lot of thought into what gite holidays are about and what is necessary to make guests comfortable throughout their stay.  An idyllic location and fantastic accommodation.  IM,   Berkshire, UK.  July 2011

The gite was wonderful, clean and spacious.  We will recommend to everyone who wants to visit this area.  EA,  Breda, The Netherlands.  July 2011

Another wonderful fortnight over all too soon.  Our third visit and back next year possibly!  Thanks to Ian and Sandra as always for flawless care and attention.  CH,   Foxton, UK.  August 2011

My stay was so brilliant, I will definitely come again.  Another fantastic holiday in the most fantastic of locations.  DM,   Cambridge, UK.  August 2011

Thank you again for an amazing holiday.  We’re very happy to be back.  Pool was great, nearly in it for 24 hours a day.  Anyone who comes here is very, very lucky.  AS,   Dublin, Ireland.  August 2011

A fabulous, relaxing week.  The gite was 5-star – you have thought of everything.  Perfect!!  We loved the pool.  The boys have gained in confidence and H learned to swim.  KT,   Cardiff, UK.  August 2011

What a brilliant week.  Lovely quiet lanes to cycle round and lots of market towns to visit.  Wine tasting was a great experience.  Thanks to Ian and Sandra for great hospitality, help and advice.  A fabulous well-equipped gite – superb holiday. 

JC,   Stoke on Trent, UK.  August 2011

Thank you for a great time at your wonderful gite.  We felt like it was home away from home.  Sandra and Ian are so very helpful and friendly.

DT,  Vero Beach USA.  September 2011

Les Petites Cigognes has proved to be the perfect place from where to explore the treasures of the surrounding area.  There is so much to do.  Our days were full and we really enjoyed coming ‘home’ to our gite each evening to relax, have a swim and partake of some of the local produce.  Thank you Ian and Sandra, your hospitality is appreciated.  SR,  Gerringong, Australia.  September 2011

It was a real pleasure to stay with you, enjoy your house, your hospitality, nice weather and beautiful castles.  Thank you. 

IK,   Russia and Israel.  September 2011

What a beautiful breath of fresh air after the hustle and bustle of Paris.  The perfect way to relax in the middle of our European tour.  We loved the gite, as did our daughter (17 months).  Thanks for making it so toddler friendly.  The bikes were a great way to unwind and see the gorgeous countryside. 

SB,   Underwood,  Australia.  October 2011

The gite is absolutely fantastic, a very high standard and great for our daughter in her wheelchair and two boys 6&4. Location here has been ideal.

AH, UK. July 2010

The gite surpassed even our (high) expectations, every last detail was just perfect. We loved the oak furniture, wonderful beams, views and of course the pool. Really appreciated the lovely bedding and comfy pillows.  EH, UK.  August 2010

The testimonials on the website sold us this holiday and we were not disappointed.  This one is the real top drawer.

SB, Woodridge, Suffolk.  September 2010

Our family has really enjoyed our stay at ‘our’ gite. Thank you for your advice on touring the Loire valley, we would love to explore so much more of this wonderful area.  This is definitely a home away from home for us weary travellers.

JP, New Zealand.  October 2010

We had a fantastic stay. We were truly surprised as to how comfortable and spacious the gite was and how friendly you both were.

SK, Sydney, Australia. October 2010

Our family loved the gite . The kids, 8 & 11, especially enjoyed the pool on hot days. Thanks to you for the great advice and hospitality. We had a fantastic time. LR, Toronto, Canada.  July 2010

Words in any language cannot describe the pleasure we have had from
this holiday, the weather, the gite, places visited, the people we have met,
quiet roads, wine, variety of things to do and not least your good selves
(and we could go on) have all combined to make this a memorable stay.
We are very hesitant at recommending holidays but have no hesitation in
recommending Les Petites Cigognes.  GW,  Cheshire, UK.

When you book accommodation from half a world away you hope it is
as good as it looks on the Web. Les Petites Cigognes is even better. A fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and great couch to relax on. For an Aussie,
the bbq was a welcome bonus and got a good workout over the week.
Worth the 22 hour flight to France.  Crawford, Sydney, Australia.

Thank you so much for everything. You have been so helpful all month
with all our guests from the U.S. and Hungary. We truly enjoyed our
family reunion in all of your gites. You have provided a great place for
many family memories. You provided wonderful touches for the
children—toys, chairs etc.  ER, Los Angeles, U.S.A.

All agree this has been the best family holiday in the best house ever.
An unforgettable holiday in a beautiful place. LB-C, Glasgow, UK.

Sometimes one is lucky to glimpse a piece of paradise. Thank you for
providing the setting for a wonderful family holiday.  Turner, U.K.

I spent a long time searching for a holiday destination on the Internet
and can now say I don’t think I could have found anywhere better in
rural France. Ian and Sandra have obviously spent so much time, effort
and money on making the accommodation as lovely as possible.
HC, Birmingham, UK.

Had a wonderful week. The gite exceeded our expectations. All the little extra touches, attention to detail and ample space made the gite 5-star. We shall be spreading the word of our lovely find.  S.F., Hampshire, UK.

Wonderfully relaxing spot, which truly felt like home. Beautiful gite, very comfortable and spacious. McDonald, Ontario, Canada.

Fabulous gite – spacious and comfortable. Thank you for being so friendly and welcoming. The gite suited a variety of needs in our mixed group – swimming, cycling, running. Four of us are keen cyclists, and we did 300km on traffic-free open roads. BK, Abergavenny, UK.

What a wonderful surprise! The web does not do this place justice. I love it here, everything about it. Dewey, Essex, UK.

We had a fabulous time drinking beautiful wine and beautiful food as well as walking around gorgeous villages. A big “Thank You” to Ian and Sandra for their lovely hospitality. We would definitely recommend this gite to all those travellers looking for a lovely place to stay. Adrian, Australia.

Our best holiday in France, according to the kids (and I have to agree). A very pretty, comfortable, well-equipped gite, which felt like home. Fantastic. Would love to come back. CM, Wales, UK.
