Vistors book Le Petit Verger

Below you'll find a selection of comments that have been left by our guests since 2005. 2010 was a year of change, so you'll not see many for that year. We look forward to adding some new comments starting from 2011 and onwards.

Hi Tony and Sue,
Thankyou for a great stay at your gite, your hospitality was excellent, Graham and I had a "brill" time and will return in the not too distant future. We arrived home safely last night.
We were extremly impressed by the scenery, found the area very picturesque, peaceful and quiet. Loved the multitude of lakes and rivers. We hope your business is successful and will recommend you to any of our friends who are contemplating a holiday in France. We will stay in touch and I am sure that we will be over again before the end of the holiday season.
Best regards
John

We have had a fantastic week at Le Petit Verger. Our first visit to France was better than we could ever have imagined. Sue and Tony have created a beautiful, comfortable gite that was so welcoming after a long journey. Champagnac la Riviere is a lovely village, from the excellent bar to the lovely riverside picnic area. Their knowledge of the area was very useful to us novices, suggesting beautiful lakes to visit for a lovely walk followed by a fantastic 'menu du jour' at the restaurant at the lake, and the excellent local market at Piegut Pluviers selling everything you can think of. In fact you can just sit outside the cafe/bar and watch the local characters go about their business. There are so many places to visit, chateaux, historical villages and only 40 minutes from Limoges (for the townies). We would not hesitate to recommend Le Petit Verger in the beautiful Limousin. It is ideal for relaxing and exploring the surrounding area.

Thank you both so very much for a most enjoyable stay. You were the perfect hosts. We love your home very much and would love to own something as beautiful as Le Petit Verger. Thank you for your kindness and assistance in our search for a home in the Limousin.Your advice has been invaluable. Tina & Tel

Thank you for a lovely 2 weeks. You have both been fantastic hosts, made even more special by your wedding day. We both hope you have every success with your business and hopefully we shall hear from you soon. Don't forget to "make time for time" the french way.

How decadent to have a night in your gite only 4 miles from home.We had a wonderful night last night as we always do with you. Over here we have fine wine, great cheese, long lazy summer days but I think the best of all , two great friends in Tony and Sue.Thank you again for helping us realise our dream over here folks.

Tim and I would like to thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for making this what we think is the best holiday ever.
We can honestly say that we've found Tims long lost brother and my ultimate sister and best friend.You have both been an inspiration to us.
See you later in the year, Au Revoir!Tim & Faye (Essex and Lake district)

You are both the total essence of fab. We have learned a great deal this week and hope to use it in the not too distant future. We have also re-lived certain aspects of youth. Looking forward to next time here.

Spot On weather forecasting, maybe not what we wanted to hear, but couldn't fault it. All the seasons rolled into a brilliant 11 days. Thanks Tony and Sue for a brilliant holiday(even if we did spend some time burning wood) Hope to see you again, Carole and Alan. March/april 2007

Wonderful holiday yet again, perfect weather, perfect hosts, home from home. See you next year. Cindy Steve & Hayley

Can't thank you enough for a great stay. We wish you all the very best for the future. Hope to see you again very soon.

Excellent stay, it was like being with friends only better. Hope to be part of the village very soon.

We can only express the sentiments expressed by previous contributors to this book regarding Tony and Sue, extremely hospitable, friendly and helpful hosts.

Nothing was too much trouble for them during our 3 month house hunting quest. This ia a lovely relaxed part of France.

We are having trouble tearing ourselves away from Le Petit Verger - a real home from home, only better because this is truly magical.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, from the fishing to the French markets, it's all been wonderful. Cant' think of a better place to have spent our honeymoon.

Thanks for a great week, good luck with the new house. You were kind and hospitable and I was spoilt for choice of fishing rods

Tony & Sue, you've done it again - you've made us fall in love (once again) with everything French. The new gite is a total delight and is credit to you.
Thanks for the whole experience, it was fantastic.

Hi Tony & Sue,

just a quick e-mail to say what an enjoyble week I have just had at Le Petit Verger. I love France but this is one of my favourtite areas. Lovely accommodation, spotlessly clean, well appointed. Gorgeous weather and excellent fishing............the fishing!! what can I say, all in one week, my personal best and a lake record at Les Coombes!! A 4.7kg golden trout, took the line from the reel like a train and me for a walk up and down the lake. Superb quality fish in A1 condition - all power! Arrived as hosts and guest, feel that we departed as friends. Really do hope to be able to return.

Once again thanks for a great week,Geoff Richardson.Tiptree,Essex May 2012.

We had a lovely relaxing week, everything we needed in a gite.Loved the outdoor seating area to lounge and read. David enjoyed his fishing. Many thanks.

Fabulous location, countryside, weather and hosts. Great cycle rides around here and wonderful peace. Thanks for your househunting tips - we have put an offer in on a house in the Correze. Gillian 9th august 2012

A wonderfully relaxing 2 weeks in your super gite. Great to see you both again, we'll keep in touch. Jane and Allen 6th Spetember 2012.
