We do not specify a changeover day as we know how important it is for you to get the best deals with the budget airlines. Sometimes if it means travelling on a Saturday, it can be more expensive, so we'd rather be flexible.

AIRPORTS
Bergerac 35 minutes Bordeaux 1 hour 10 minutes Toulouse 1 hour 40 minutes Limoges 2 hours 30 mins
Ferry and car
Best deals are usually found at Speed ferries who sail from Dover to Bolougne. The journey by car from Bolougne normally takes about 8 hours. Tolls are not too expensive and the French Motorways are generally very good, and as at Jun 2008 petrol averages at 1.44 Euro a litre and Diesel 1.38. 95% of lorries are not allowed to travel on a Sunday in France, so the roads are even quieter. Some people sail to Le Havre. It is personal taste at the end of the day, but it does mean less driving, but about the same time to get here. Eurostar is also a good option!
Linen, Towels and Cleaning
We think our rates are reasonable and so that we can keep our rates low, we ask you to clean the property on your day of departure. We would like you to leave Le Bonté in the same clean condition as you found it. If you would rather not clean the house, because time is precious, etc, then we would ask you to pay 50 euros towards the cleaning. Linen and Towels are provided, so there is something less for you to pack! If there is anything else you need before your arrival, then give us a call and we'll see about getting it for you! Tea, Coffee, Milk and sugar will be available to you on the first day of your arrival.... not to mention the bottle of wine!!! We look forward to seeing you at Le Bonté!
Other Activities Wine tasting & tours, kayaking, mini golf, pottery, painting, dancing, petanque (boules), Morning Markets at duras, Miramont, Eymet, Castilliones,
Golf Information:

Review Submitted: May 21, 2008, Date of stay: April, 2008
We spent a week in Le Bonté in April and the weather was not brilliant, but being able to return to this gite each evening was a pleasure despite this. It was probably the best appointed gite we have enjoyed and we felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. The warmth of Michelle's welcome and her touches around the house contributed to this. As we were looking at properties during our stay, access to wi-fi and the telephone were added bonuses. Take the advice of the visitor pack with regards to places to visit and eat. And enjoy every chance to sit on the terrace, in the warmth of the evening sun, looking out over the vines with a glass of Cote de Duras.
Owner's response:
Thank you so much for your comments. It was really nice to meet you both. Good luck with the house-hunting and hope to see you again soon!
Regards, Michele
