Previous visitor comments
Just to let you know that the accommodation near Saintes was lovely - the rooms were great and the hosts very friendly and helpful. Only criticism was that we didn't stay longer. Would definitley recommend this to people looking for peace and quiet but in quaint, good standard surroundings - The Harrisons, UK
