Le Pigeonnier Visitors' Comments

“ After our first visit last year we just had to return and check out the fantasy created in our minds. Thankfully, the La Garenne and Lot experience again lived up to our expectations.”
R and JC, Cheltenham, 2000

“What a wonderful house Le Pigeonnier has been – it was just perfect – the style, the décor, the equipment!”
S and SB, Yorkshire, 2000

R and GP, Wirral, 2002

S Family, Kent, 2002

CN and RG, Kent, 2003

“We have been here for 8 glorious weeks and have watched the seasons change from Summer to Autumn. Le Pigeonnier has been beyond all expectations. Our family and their partners have been to stay with us at various times, and we have all enjoyed Le Vert so much that we have already booked to come again next year.”
M and WR, N Ireland, 2005

“The central heating is superb and the log burner sheer indulgence.”
T and VC, Northampton, February 2007

“Over many years we have spent some of our best holidays ever at La Garenne. Each time we come we fear it will not live up to our fond memories. No chance of that!! Yet again a perfect holiday.”
R and GW, Oxford, 2007

“We were overwhelmed by Le Pigeonnier – it is less a gite than a home-from-home and has been decorated and equipped with an exceptional amount of taste and care … and that’s to say nothing of its exquisite setting. Our one regret is that we didn’t stay for longer.”
K Family, Warwickshire, 2007

“Spent a wonderful week here and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Lot Valley. Le Pigeonnier is a beautifully restored home in a lovely part of the world. ”

R and GW, Henley-on-Thames, 2008

“My brother was amazed at the view and how quiet and peaceful it was. He now understands why we love it and keep coming back. It is now the end of our fourth long holiday at La Garenne and we have relaxed and recharged the batteries in a wonderful setting ... the weather has been excellent and the autumnal colour of the vines and trees is beautiful. ”
R Family, N Ireland, 2008

“This has been our second visit to Le Pigeonnier and once again it has surpassed all our expectations. No matter how far we travel in France, this location is quite simply the best! Thanks once again for being such lovely hosts and for all the up-to-date information on local events.”
C Family, N Ireland, 2009

“As expected, our week in Le Pigeonnier has proved to be just as enjoyable as our first week in La Loge. In the evening we have been more than content to take our meal on the terace, watching the sun going down, listening to the wildlife and contemplating how life should be lived! ”
L-C Family, Hereford, 2009

“This is our third visit to Le Pigeonnier and it never disappoints. It is so peaceful and restful and the view is stunning. ”

“When we think of the fragile thread of coincidence that led to us seeing the advertisement for this wonderful place it almost makes us shudder that we may have missed it. It is by far the best place that we have ever stayed on holiday – being both beautiful to look at and practical, with every need catered for. ”
A and MO, Alcester, 2010

“The Gite is amongst the best that I have stayed in; the views, the level of comfort, the equipment and the character all combine to give this Gite something extra. Jackie and Roger are perfect hosts – not intrusive but there to help. ”
MS, Wales, 2010

“Le Pigeonnier is by far the best place that we have ever stayed at; everything anyone could ever want for. The view is also very special. ”

A and MO, Alcester, 2011
