Le Pible, July 2009

Le Pible really is all you dream rural France to be!
From the moment you turn up the drive and see the beautifully restored farmhouse, you know you are going to have a holiday to remember. We arrived late evening all very tired yet excited and were warmly welcomed by Jane and Johnny the owners. We greatly appreciated the supply of milk, bread and butter to see us through to the next morning.
The house itself is tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. An arrangement of flowers from the garden is a perfect finishing touch. And dont worry about packing the kitchen sink! Le Pible really does have everything you could ever need, from plug-in Mosquito repellants to romantic candles with matches.
The surrounding countryside will keep you happy for hours, with endless sunflower fields and little villages to explore. A dream for the photographer or artist.
Our children (7 & 4yrs) were never without something to do. Whether it be table tennis (which can also be played if the weather is a little wet), badminton, volley ball and football, or bike riding, fishing and of course swimming. Even if the weather is not on your side, there is a great selection of board games, books, and dvds.
We have wonderful memories of long BBQ lunch's by the pool, in its gorgeous private surroundings. Warm evenings on the raised patio at the rear of the house were also a must for a family BBQ or a romantic dinner for two watching the sunset.
If you can tear yourself away from Le Pible's relaxing atmosphere there is lots of sightseeing to do, lovely local markets to visit and if its a resturant you want, Jane will happily help with suggestions.
We wanted to keep Le Pible our own secret relaxing getaway, but we cant help telling people how wonderful it is!

Owner's Response: We greatly appreciate guests taking the time to write such encouraging and thoughtful reviews: we like to think all ages are happily catered for in and around Le Pible and the addition this year (2010) of a heated swimming pool and professional beauty therapy treatments available in the farmhouse, we only hope will add to the relaxation and enjoyment of all those seeking a pretty and tranquil hideaway in rural France!
