GUESTS COMMENTS

Excellent meal on our first evening, just what we needed! Recommended the caves (vintners) at Le Puy Notra Dame and Les Verchers sur Layon – Excellent value and St. Cyr en Bourg well worth a visit. Very peaceful holiday – just what we wanted. Sue and Jon are there if you want them to be – but in no way intrusive. Would love to come back.
Lloyd & Teresa from Hertfordshire England                      October 2011

Very welcoming, comfortable stay in a good location to visit the fabulous gardens, Chateaux & the pretty little historic villages around here – Too many cheeses & far too much pate and wine!! – We had a splendid time, including a visit in the patio from a red squirrel!!
Hugh & Carol from Victoria, Australia                             September 2011

A very enjoyable two weeks in a comfortable gite which is perfectly located for touring Val de Loire. Thank you Sue & Jon
The Kelly’s from Sydney Australia.                                     September 2011

We had a marvellous week here: The gite is pretty, welcoming and full of French charm! Beautiful area around to explore; we loved being in among the chateaux and the vineyards! Highly recommended. Thank you x
Nia and Martin from Tunbridge Wells UK                 August 2011

This is our second visit to Les Fleurs and we are already planning our third! The welcome we received from Jon and Sue made us feel like returning friends rather than holiday makers. LYS is absolutely beautiful, full of character and immaculate. Our Son had plenty to do, loved the play area and of course the large pool. Set in a perfect location, quiet and peaceful, however very close to supermarkets and local attractions. It’s been the perfect holiday and we wish Jon and Sue the very best.
Mark, Nikki & Scott. From Sussex UK                      August 2011

A quirky, Quaint and cosy holiday home. You are in a wonderful place with gorgeous countryside and lots of lovely places to visit. We have thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in LYS and very much appreciate the fantastic meal cooked by Sue and Jon. Thank you.
Alan & Carol Crumlin Northern Ireland                  August 2011.

Dear Sue and Jon. Your gite is right on & perfectly suited for baby. The dinner for two was perfect and beautifully flavoured, better than going out.
The whole week long we couldn’t go wrong, your guides were great, a swim in your pool made us happy, your roses are divine. We are new to staying in gites but wish we could stay until September.
Thank you Jon and Sue.
Neil, Kate & Edith from Gateshead England          August 2011

We could not imagine a better travel destination and more charming accommodation. We will miss LYS but are thankful for the opportunity to have seen it. Will be coming back!
Birgit & Brian from San Francisco USA                  July 2011

2 Weeks in a story book! So enjoyed my Granny time here in LYS with all the family. Marvellous memories – Merci

Andrew Krysha from Leicester                                        June 2011

Thank you both for a quite and peaceful week. Ideal location for exploring the area and lovely evening strolls. Highlight of the week was our visit to the Apocalypse Tapestry in Angers.  Jon and Sue’s kind assistance has been thoughtful and knowledgeable and was much appreciated.
Mark & Jane from Gloucestershire                                June 2011

After 2 days travelling, what a great spot to relax and enjoy this first taste of France. Thanks to Sue and Jon for preparing a very comfortable cottage. We will tell our friends and advise them to spend longer in the Loire Valley. We enjoyed every minute.
Anne & John New South Wales, Australia                    June 2011

Had a marvellous week at Les Fleurs. The cottage was so well equipped and comfortable. Jon & Sue had thought of everything. We loved being served amazing diners on our own private patio – definitely a highlight along with a wonderful flight over the Loire Valley with Jon, an absolute must! There is so much to see and do around here and we could gladly put the word out to other travelling Canadians – You will be seeing a lot more of us. Thank you so much.
Gordon & Lydele from Vancouver, Canada.                   June 2011

Hazel & Trevor Melbourne, Australia                              April 2011

On reading this book it is hard to believe that others have slept in this magical place. Lys is a lovely gite and felt like home. Sue and Jon have organised everything so well; and nothing is too much trouble. Will recommend this place to everyone but only tell special people the address because its one place that feels special to me.
Alan & Sandra from Nottingham                                           February 2011

Our first visit to Les Fleurs and an excellent week. Jon and Sue have been excellent hosts providing very useful advice on wines and vineyards to visit. Their information folder was extremely useful. On top of this they also serve superb cuisine if asked. Their house wines are good value and nice quality.
Ann & Andrew from Somerset                                              October 2010

Another wonderful visit. Thanks Sue and Jon for your attentiveness. You are excellent chefs we cannot recommend the in house meals highly enough. Chenonceaux and Villandray were a joy to visit. Thank you again

Helen, Angus, Daisy & Isla   from London                      August 2010

Sue and Jon – What can we say!! I think this is our 5^th visit to Les Fleurs. We stayed in LYS, and our daughter and Son in law & our Grandchildren stayed in ANJOU. We had a fantastic time yet again. It’s amazing how much effort you put into Les Fleurs and we really do appreciate it.
Thanks to you both.  
Tony and Lynda from Cheshire                                       August 2010

Our second visit and even better than the first, although we did not think it was possible. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything.
Sarah and Nick from Northumberland                         August 2010

Lovely gite. My favourite bit was going to Terra Botanica and lying on the sun bed in the garden. A great spot to get to all the attractions. Wonderful visit, wish it was just the first day again. Second time here its great!!
Leah from Ashington                                                       August 2010

Lovely place to stay – Great location. Loved the pink fizz from Jon’s cellar! Definitely recommend. Would also recommend the Chateau at Brisac – good tour. If you want something a bit mad – the then mushroom tour in the caves is interesting!
Bryony & Jason from Edinburgh                                July 2010

Our second time in LYS was just as special as the first! It is so romantic and peaceful. Jon and Sue made the trip the best, just wish we could stay longer! We must recommend the sparkling rose from Jon’s cellar, to future guests. Thanks again Jon and Sue, see you next time we visit.
Steph & Mark from Newcastle                                   July 2010

Lovely gite: Can’t be bettered! Wonderful area. Hope to return. Thank you Jon and Sue for all your hard work. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
Jenny & Chris from Sutton Coldfield                     June 2010

Had a very enjoyable stay. Lys was well equipped – made close acquaintance with the squirrels several times! Plenty to do and see in the area from splendid formal gardens of Villandry to the local troglodyte village which was so interesting. Jon and Sue looked after us very well and we enjoyed 2 super meals on our patio.
Bob & Colette from Exmouth                                 June 2010

Lovely place, nice and peaceful. Area lovely too, particularly Candes St Martin & Chinon. Thanks also for the lovely strawberries from your gardens.
Nigel and Kathy from Ashford                                 June 2010

Charming rustic quirky holiday home. Had everything we needed and much more (even a rolling pin). Enjoyed having our own secluded rose garden, where on our last evening Jon served us a delicious meal cooked by Sue including home made bread. Overall a very enjoyable holiday.
Moira and Jimmy        from Northumberland             June 2010       

Totally relaxing; just what we needed, (after the trauma of the empty diesel tank!) Jon to the rescue. Super hosts, Sues’ meals a delight and waiter wasn’t bad either!
Auberge Bienvenue superb fine dining and the whole area beautiful. We will be back certainly for another holiday at Les Fleurs.
Our best wishes to you both.
Anne, Clive & Adam. X                                                     June 2010

What a very pleasant week we have had. Notably our three dining experiences were so enjoyable because of the quality of your cooking and the attention received. Your selection of wines complemented to occasions. The cottage suited us down to the ground. Again the attention to detail was really appreciated. To provide glorious weather, beautiful flowers, a squirrel, brasserie, boulangerie, great cycling, Chateaux, country lanes and little lakes were extra we never expected. Thank you for your friendly yet discreet attention. THE COMPLETE GITE! LOVELY!
(Irene and Chris Clitheroe                                            May 2010)

A lovely week at Les Fleurs, holiday homes in the Loire valley, Thank you very much for all the information and lovely wine. Dinner was fantastic! Thanks for being great hosts. We enjoyed our stay.
(Jennifer and Sayf London                                         May 2010)

Thank you Jon and Sue for opening your home to us and for being perfect hosts, friendly, welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and your knowledge of the area was very useful. Staying in LYS has been such a delight, your renovations are incredible and the result a relaxing and wonderful place. It has been the perfect base for visiting local villages and towns, Troglodyte dwellings and visiting the beautiful Chateaux at Chambord, Chenonceau, Ambois and Cheveny – all well worth a visit. Our week here has been amazing and well worth the 26 hour flight from Australia! We wish you both well in the future and will look you up next time we visit France.
(Richard and Zena Australia                                        May 2010)

Due to volcanic ash we hopped on a ferry and came to this amazing place! Lovely gite, great wine, fantastic walks + brilliant weather. Very relaxing time. Thank you Jon and Sue for having us. We had an excellent time.

(Mary and Chris                       Scotland          July 2009)

 Jon and Sue, thank you so much for your cottage, hospitality and super evening meals, they met all our expectations and gave us the relaxing, peaceful holiday we wanted.  We made great use of your folders and information for visits and well marked walks. Worthy of mention were the medieval treasures at Fontevraud Abbey, the gardens at Villandry and the church at Canault.  Our visit coincided with the annual Rose Festival at Doue la Fontaine and the fabulous July 14^th celebrations for Bastille Day, the fireworks at Saumur were fantastic.
(Richard and Caroline             Ascot                           July 2009)

 Thanks to Sue and Jon for a lovely stay in Lys and for their thoughtfulness and kindness.  The meal we had and the service was superb.  The zoo at Doue la Fontaine is a must do and the Villandry gardens are out of this world.  Jon and Sue make you feel at home.  Weather was very hot. (A wee bit hotter than Aberdeen!!)

(Jay, Lisa and Jake                   Hawaii                                    May 2009)

 Jon and Sue, thank you so much.

Sue and Jon go the extra mile for all their guests and nothing is too much trouble.  The Christmas decorations around the self catering cottage and courtyard were wonderful.  Shannon aged two and a half loved all the toys provided.  Thanks very much to you both!!

(Steve and Sue. London May 2008)

 Beautiful gite. Thank You! We’ve had a lovely week. BBQ’s fantastic – eaten like kings every night on Lys’s beautiful private patio – not to mention your wine, which we’ve drunk enthusiastically all week. Our tips: Doue Zoo is amazing – stunning animals in unique setting, Montreuil Bellay is a must on a sunny day – beautiful skyline and take a picnic by the river… PERFECT!
(Chris and Lucy. Leeds May 2008)

We have had a wonderful relaxing holiday here at ‘Les Fleurs’.

We have a four year old son who has really enjoyed himself at the pool and playing with the toys provided. To finish off, there’s Sue’s cooking and Jon’s waiter service which is something out of a top class restaurant at home, food is excellent, overall ’Les Fleurs’ is excellent and we will be back. Thanks Jon and Sue
(The Kelly’s - N.Devon August 2007)

This has been our second stay at ‘les Fleurs’ and our first time in Lys. We have again enjoyed our stay, this time for two weeks.

Garden and swimming pool really good, our daughters have really enjoyed themselves.
(Maggie, Paul and family – South East –August 2007)

As your previous guests have said this really is the place to relax – so comfortable and peaceful – great food - thanks for your special meals Jon and Sue. Lovely French people, so friendly and helpful (must go for more French lessons when we get home) – good walks and bike rides – 96 miles of hassle free riding along the roads hereabouts. I think another English couple will be moving here soon, but will be back anyway.
(Geoff and Liz – Lancashire –August 2007)

We have had a really lovely, relaxing holiday, the place had everything we needed (plenty of books and scrabble!) congratulations to Jon and Sue on their professional set-up and I’ll be recommending the gîtes to my friends. Cheers! Ps The zoo at Doue la Fontaine was the best ever!!!!
(Jim and Verity Essex July 2007)

This is our fourth visit and we keep thinking that at sometime something must go wrong. But no, everything, as usual, was perfect. If there are better hosts anywhere we’ve yet to find them!! Thanks guys for bringing everyone together from all three gîtes for BBQ and boules – pity the rain came down when the ‘boys’ were winning yet again! But more than that. Thanks for being you. We always feel that Lys is an extension of our home and that you are part of our extended family. See you next year!
(Ian and Gaynor – Nottingham – July 2007)

Sue & Jon. Thank you for being the best hosts. Always around but never intrusive, we’ve had a great week.. We would highly recommend taking a picnic to Montreuil Bellay and spending the afternoon walking along the river it is beautiful. We would then highly recommend a return trip in the evening to the
restaurant of the Hotel Splendid, great food and they speak a little English if you get stuck!

food and excellent value. Thank you for a memorable holiday.

We found your gite at short notice and what a lovely surprise, very comfortable and lovely finishing touches Sue! Where else can you lay in bed and look at the stars. Next time we shall stay longer. The bike ride through the vineyards was great. Thank you both for your hospitality.
