Many thanks for the three weeks of looking after my three groups. They seem to have all enjoyed your beautiful facilities. It has been a different experience for my golfing weeks but well worth it. Good luck for the future. (Sept 2008)

Words cannot sufficiently express how enjoyable a time we had here at Les Vieux Chais this past week. Notwithstanding the beauty of the area and in particular the ambience and character of la Maison de Maître, your genuine hospitality and welcoming desire to make our stay comfortable and memorable has left a lasting impression with us. From the time of our very early/or late 0030hrs arrival and your enthusiastic welcome, we have certainly been impressed. As a timeshare owner we have stayed in many memorable places, however, none of the accommodations and staff can come close to Les Vieux Chais. You have certainly set the benchmark!
We wish you all success in your endeavours but our selfish side would like to keep Les Vieux Chais our secret. Thank you once again for your kindness and friendship. (July 2008)

Unlike most of your guests, we came here to work – and what a lovely relaxing place to use as our base for photography! Les Vieux Chais has definitely played an input in bringing this book to fruition, so thank you for making it possible! The Maison de Maître is a delightful and comfortable place to live and your garden is a continuing delight. We all hope to return some day for an actual vacation in this part of France. (July 2008)

I really enjoyed my week here. It was so inviting from the moment we arrived. You made us so at home and relaxed. You’re so kind and generous and it shows in your warm greetings and careful eye for detail in the beautiful garden and beautiful rooms we stayed in. Thank you for making my vacation! (July 2008)

We have had a lovely time and your chais is beautiful. We will come back, without the golf clubs, to explore more of the lovely countryside. Thank you for your hospitality and help. (Sept 2008)

Thank you both ever so much for making our holiday such a memorable and enjoyable one. You were so friendly and made us most welcome. Les Vieux Chais is such an interesting building and Bourg-Charente makes a wonderful base from which to visit so many lovely places in the area – Cognac, Jarnac, La Roche Courbon, cruise on the river and not forgetting a tour of the Hennessy Distillation Plant.
We have no hesitation in recommending you to whoever needs a good holiday. Thanks again for everything. (June 2008)

Thank you very much for two wonderful weeks at your fantastic estate. Our expectations were exceeded and we enjoyed your companionship, hospitality and friendship very much! So, it is your fault that we will return in December… Looking forward to our next stay. (June 2008)

What a great way to ‘come down’ after Paris. From frantic to calm – lovely to have no noise except that of the birds. Wonderful hosts in Bernadette and Ian and lovely to feel part of the family. Thanks for a great entré to rural France!

What a magnificent, idyllic place to recharge our batteries. Your kindness, generosity and especially your love and attention will always be cherished. You both are the true “Hostess with the Mostess!” When I get home I will warn everyone “BOOK EARLY SHIRLEY!” It will surpass all expectations! A bientot.

The Weyde residence is something else! C’est magnifique! Ideally positioned and exquisitely hosted, Les Vieux Chais is the place to be for lazy Summers. A paradise that one never wants to leave! Thank you for a memorable stay.
