Gite Rental
"The gite itself was beautiful, finished to a high standard both inside and out."
"A particular highlight for me was the outside area. Since it's covered it allowed us to sit comfortably outdoors regardless of the weather. In fact, we were able to sit out and watch an awesome storm in complete comfort!"
"I would wholeheartedly recommend this place. As an added bonus Bordeaux is easily accessible for a wonderful day trip to explore this lovely city"
Retreats
" Carolyn was a truly exceptional host. During our stay at the retreat she prepared fantastic meals for us, everything was delicious with nothing left over. She was incredibly attentive and and always ready to assist with anything we needed."
"We used the outside wooden deck for Yoga, you can also use it for stretching, and small workshops. I left rested and clear minded"
"I attended a Yoga retreat at House of the Hollyhocks and felt looked after throughout. The visit was shaped around the needs of the group and nothing felt difficult."
"The Gite stands out because it is spacious, spotless and flexible, and suits many types of stays. It works for Retreats, family holidays and weeks with friends. I would book again without hesitation". Claire M.
