Many thanks for our wonderful stay in the Manoir. It’s a beautiful house. Everything is there that you could ever need. The area is a good base with lovely walks up to the Church behind it. Great fun with the pool and cycles and easy for days out further afield. Sad to be going home and leaving this magnificent house. (Love the shabby chic) p.s very friendly owners!

What a special place! We came here just the 4 of us and it was fab. Our 16 month old had hours of fun with the toy pushchair, whilst my 9 year old had more space to run around in and play games than he could ever of imagined. Everything is here you could wish for on holiday. My son loved the pool. Chris and Sue are lovely!!!very helpful. They have done a brilliant job here and we wish them every success.

What a fantastic place! We have had such a wonderful week in your lovely house. You have thought of everything to make our stay relaxed and happy, beautiful garden and pool, comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. The children loved the garden and toys and toy box in the dining room, such an assortment, everything they could want.

The ten of us ranging in age from 2 1/2 – 77 years have had a wonderful week in the glorious Manor. Everything you could possibly want or need is here, and the beds are blissfully comfortable. All the toys and occupations on site kept the five children very happy. Of course the lovely swimming pool was a great favourite, and the bicycles catered for all our ages. Your kitchen we thought was a dream, and we loved the décor and furnishings you have done, keeping the French traditions. The welcoming provisions were a lovely touch which we much appreciated. Must mention your amazing wildflower meadow which was perfection. All agree that Sue and Chris are quite exceptional in what they have achieved here Good luck for the future.

From the New Zealand contingent. Thank you Chris and Sue. We are glad that you spent 3 years locating the ideal home away from home, ‘Manoir de Bolu’ is certainly worth the wait!, we enjoyed the friendliness of the locals. With the children we found a particular appreciation for the park, the grounds the play equipment and of coarse the pool, nicely heated we might add. In all a memorable holiday and quite unlike anything we have experienced in New Zealand.
