Memorable parts? The dog sledding was amazing and lots of fun. The dogs were beautiful and up for lots of cuddles. The time spent with the Sami people was awe inspiring. The Northern Lights are always something to behold. Tips? Take lots of warm clothes. The two nights in the Sami tents are very rustic - no electricity, running water, or flushing toilets - but still very comfortable and a unique experience. Local benefits? Yes. Overall rating? Brilliant. Would recommend... (more)Alison Rogers

relaxing and flexible enough to push yourself if you want to do a bit of exercise in between being fed delicious home cooked food and local wines. I can fully understand why many people return year after year. (more)Kathryn Gow

Excellent. It gave me exactly what I wanted - great cycling, wonderful food and good company in tranquil, natural surroundings. Very good value for money. (more)Carol Gray

Just what I needed! Plenty of wildlife around, the spotted flycatcher leaping through the garden was great, several species of dragonfly by the ford and several hummingbird hawkmoths feeding on the lavender by the pool, all to the tune of blackbirds, turtle doves and a Cetti's warbler! (more)Nigel Scott

Both my husband and myself loved our week. Lazing by and in the pool late afternoon was lovely and the weather was hot. Being able to walk littlle or miles or not at all, was good -there is no compulsion to be super active, though you can! If you want to be totally catered for and live in verdant peace for a week, but have company too-this is the place for you! (more)Clare McKee

A fantastic place which lived up to my expectations. (more)Katherine Amos

Excellent. This is a fine place to stay! With lovely people and surroundings. The best parts were riding in unknown rural France with horses up country tracks and beneath trees in occasional woodland. Meeting other riders and brushing up my French whilst the instructor brushed up my riding skills! (more)Liz Beaven

Tips for other travelers? Stay an extra week!...Ten out of ten. (more)Sue Evans
