Pigeonnier

R and J West Yorkshire
Review Submitted: October 2, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Excellent property offering very good value for money. Very well equipped and looked as though it had been renovated in recent past. Property ideal for those looking for a quiet 'away from it all' holiday, although with the pool area, bbq etc. you have everything there. Lovely garden with great views too and walks from the property. Lots of places to visit nearby, if you want. Good selection of restaurants also. Our only slightly negative comment would be that the pool had been closed by the property manager despite the property description stating pool open until end of September (we stayed 20-27 Sept).We were told this was due to the forecast temperatures and although they were in the low to mid 20's and the pool probably would have been quite cold it would have been nice to have had the choice of whether to swim or not. In fairness the owner had emailed us to tell us this but we were already travelling and didn't read it until our return. Overall excellent and we would definitely use this property again. Thoroughly recommended.
