August 2008 - Bramley Family - Leics & Notts - Crystal clear air, views for miles, the distant sound of church bells... welcome to Jeff & Jules' Gites. The gite is perfectly situated, everyone is so friendly. We'd like to thank Jeff & Jules for a warm welcome and a relaxed atmosphere for our first trip 'abroad' with little Lana. We'd also like to thank Ruben for providing us with many happy hours of ball throwing entertainment!! Best wishes for the future.
August 2008 - Carpenter Family - Oxon - What a wonderful location and excellent gite. The four of us fitted in perfectly to Le Maize. The girls enjoying the sofa bed experience. Peace and quiet, cicadas and crickets, stars and the warm nights, pool and a games of pool - all made for a great relaxing holiday. Thank you.
August 2008 - Harford Family - Cambs - Lovely gite, great facilities, fantastic views! We have all had a lovely holiday and now feel truly rested. We will definately recommend you. Thank you.
August 2008 - Mr & Mrs Raper - Worcs - Thanks for a superb, relaxing, peaceful week. After travelling for a week on motorbikes it was great to stay in such a beautiful place. Jeff & Julie made us feel really welcome and provided all the little things that we would never have got in our paniers. The new gazebo was fantastic and enabled us to be outside most of the time - it's still standing!! The pool and all the facilities have added to our holiday. We will definately recommend you to biker and non biker friends.
August 2008 - O'Neill Family - Essex - (Repeat Bookers)!
Steve & Maria - Well, we said we'd be back (July '07) and we are! This is the only time we have ever returned to the same place for a holiday but, that's just a measure of how great the accomodation, location, views and hosts are here!! Jeff & Julie are fantastic, very acomodating, superb hosts, treated us all like friends. Thanks again for a tremendous time and we'll do our best to tell all our friends about La Treille AGAIN!
Ann & Mike - What more can we say - Steve has said it all. We've seen more of the surrounding area this time. Everywhere is so pretty - we love it. I'm sure we'll be back for a third visit. Many thanks to you for everything, especially the bbq - great!!
July 2008 - Randall Family - Cleveland - Wonderful locaton. fabulous gite, we've loved everything and had a fantastic holiday. We would love to return again in the future and will certainly recommend you to all our friends.
July 2008 - Mr & Mrs Brennan - Birmingham - Arrived tired and weary, leaving rested and relaxed. This was our first gîte holiday and we are much impressed. The gîte has all we needed. Julie & Jeff showed us many kindnesses, the location is impressive and there is lots to see and do. We have found a little 'jewel' in the Périgord Vert.
July 2008 - Williams Family - Leicestershire - What a fantastic place! Gite 1 is absolutely beautiful - the sense of space, equipment in kitchen, decor and dishwasher are all great. Everything spotlessly clean with food in when we arrived. As everyone has said, Jeff & Julie are so friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The views here are breathtaking and (lucky us) the weather to date has been wonderful. We have loved the pool and the children will so miss Ruben and his poolside games with them. We've visited lots of places: our favourites have been Brantôme and La Jemaye (both beautiful). Also, the amazing church inside mountain at Aubeterre. We are regulars to France and this has been our best gite ever... superb!
July 2008 - Akehurst Family - Essex - We have had a fantastic week and are reluctant to leave even though we still have two weeks in the South of France to look forward to! We have had difficulty in getting the children to leave the pool. Gite 2 has everything you need to enjoy your stay and many extras. Julie & Jeff are wonderful hosts, going out of their way to unsure you enjoy your stay. Ruben has stolen our children's hearts (even the one who is scared of dogs)! A Fanstastic week and thanks for our 'only' Anniversary card!! Above & beyond!! Will be back in 2009!
July 2008 - Hind & Walpole - London - It's a great place for swimming, cylcling, canoeing, golfing, tennis, walking, table tennis, sunbathing, eating & drinking. Don't really want to go home. Many thanks!
July 2008 - Aspden Family - Notts - As I write it's a beautiful Friday evening in July. The wheat field is being harvested, the children have just got out of the pool and we are about to go off for dinner. Life doesn't get much better than this! Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday. From the welcome upon arrival and right throughout the week we have been impressed by every aspect of the place. The icing on the cake has been how child friendly it has been and the attention to detail. We were left wanting for nothing. Superb!!!
July 2008 - Turner Family - Manchester - Great location, fab gites, pool and hosts as everyone says. This place is in the middle of 460km of Mountain bike trails, so little used - expect to be covered in spiders webs... brilliant!!! Never saw a sole on the trails all week + there's a downhill course near Riberac. On top of that, wads to do and see - we feel we've just had a 'taster' this year. Will definately be back - many thanks, loved it to bits. ps Enjoy deer spotting with a glass in your hand! xxx
July 2008 - Mr & Mrs Brown - Berks - We came away looking for a relaxing break and that is exactly what we've had. The gite was perfectly equipped but the scenary has stolen the show - you could never get tired of the view! We've been to some amazing places, Bergerac, Brantome & Hauteforte and tried some amazing wine; all round a perfect break.
June 2008 - Rhodes Family - Leeds - A great place for a quiet week, irrespective of the weather. Great views and a really well appointed gîte with Jeff always on hand to troubleshoot - if required. Area great to explore and recommendations include the lake at Le Jamay, Brantome and the Moulin de Pont restaurant at Lisle. The games area looks like a boys heaven. Julie & Jeff have got the place really well set-up for young families with everything very child friendly. Thanks for a great week.
June 2008 - Johnson & Jones Party - Staffs (Repeat Bookers)!
Johnson - We have been regular visitors to Jeff & Jules for the last 3 years & always have a warm welcome from our hosts. We are ready for the total relaxation we get at La Treille knowing that there are plenty of places to go and things to do if we want to.This time we enjoyed a lovely meal in the village Auberge at Montagrier, receiving a warm welcome & gorgeous food.Thanks for having us back, we'll see you both again soon.
Jones - We have stayed at Jeff and Jule’s place a number of times now, the first time we stayed we were so impressed with the whole experience it was inevitable that we would return. Each time we have been able to relax totally in this truly tranquil setting. Your holiday can be what you want it to be, has your hosts are very flexible. Thanks again, Jeff and Jules for looking after us and going that extra mile to make our holidays memorable.
June 2008 - Guilbert & Robinson Family - Guernsey -
Francis & John - Thank you for a lovely week. Accommodation fabulous, clean & fresh. Pool & surroundings very family orientated. Thoroughly enjoyed the evenings and walks. Ruben was a joy. Thank you Jeff & Julie - the place is a credit to you both.
Juliette, Ian & Esmée - Driving up was a delight after a very long journey. Jeff & Julie were the perfect friendly, laid back hosts. They were there when you needed them and gone when you wanted family time. Kids loved pool and Ruben. Beautiful views, perfect cosy accommodation and the welcome food hamper was a relief. Saint Victor restaurant was great and the owner was very friendly. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you!
John & Pat - We found the gîte well set-up and very clean, pool will be nice when hotter. We would have no hesitation to recommend the accommodation and facilities. Thank you so much for all your kindness, it has been really lovely. The gîte was spotless and what a lovely thoughtful thing to do to provide food (cheese, butter, bread, wine & ham) on our arrival. The scenery beautiful and such wonderful hosts. We have all enjoyed ourselves so much and if we do get back to France again we would love it to be here. The only down thing is having to leave Ruben, we will miss him so much. Thank you again and the very best of luck for your future.
May 2008 - Mr & Mrs Horton - Sussex - We fully intend to return - what better comment can we leave than that!

Smith - Wonderful relaxing holiday. The gites are very comfortable with everything you need. Nice little finishing touches make them a home from home.

Seamus Egan - A very comfortable gîte, beautiful scenery and good cycling territory - what more can you ask for. Thank you Julie & Jeff for your friendship and help.
Jim Morahan - FRANCE IS FOR CYCLING - and this base of La Treille is the ultimate! To Julie & Jeff for making it possible, many thanks! I will be passing on the message.
Seamus O'Sullivan - No noise, no traffic and the beauty of the open countryside to be enjoyed in restful heavenly peace. An oasis of peace in a mad, mad word. A place where time stands still and enhanced by Jeff & Julie who made us feel most welcome. I met Jeff & Julie about a week ago and the feeling is that I have known them for much longer. The informality they project, to me, is most welcome and it is sad to think we must soon go - But go we must, as life's demands dictate, but hopefully we may return, to once again enjoy, this heaven of peace and tranquility!
