Reviews of "Gone Fishin" 2010 from our guest book..with more to come.
2010....Claire & Mike.Firstly, thanks to Alan & Jenny for taking us at short notice. Great hospitality and wonderfully peaceful location. Thanks also to "the Girls" for their eggs. We came for a complete break and this area is very different from the area in Fr ance we live in- so we did a huge amount of exploring rather than lazing around at "Gone Fishin". Of the many, many places we have visited this week are favourites have been :
Best villages: Penne d'Agenais, Tournon d'Agenais, Praysass & Pujol. Other places of interest if your passing: Nerac, Vianne (bastide), Meilhan sur Garonne (for the fabulous panorama and the Caste of Bonaguil & Duras.
We brought our sat nav which told us of some fabulous roads that we would never have dreamt of taking if following a map, some gorgeous sights. Thanks again Claire and Mike.
2010.... May & Bob. Second time around and still enjoyed our surroundings and the hospitality of Jen & Alan. The delightful gite had all the necessary equipment and was extremely comfortable. Our hosts are warm and very helpful providing a wonderful base for those who wish to "day tour" and a restful second home for those who want and need to rest/phase out!
2010.... John & Olwen. We have had a lovely peaceful holiday and have been back to all the places we enjoyed the last time and also founf some new places. We will definetly be back.
2010.... Christine & Roger. This is a beautiful part of France and we have so enjoyed seeing places we have visited. The weather has not been very kind to us but we are assured that this is most unusual for this time of year. Jenny and Alan have been delightful hosts and have made us as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. We have especially enjoyed our last couple of days of good weather and the farewell drinks this evening. Hope to be back one day.
2010.... Kate and Nick. We've just finished our week here and we've had a wonderful time. Thoroughly relaxing. Alan & Jenny have been lovely & very helpful. Beautiful surroundings, just the type of holiday we needed.
2010.... Pat and Andy. Well what can I add to the long string of compliments that I endorse ten fold for this visitas well. We cannot believe that this was our fifth visit to two people we class now as friends. We shall return.
2010.... Sue and Karim. Thanks Alan and jenny, once again for allowing us 2 weeks in your lovely home. We are relaxed and ready for the year ahead! Thank you again- see you both again. Hope someone catches that turtle.
2010.... Gerard and Barbara. The turtle is no more! (Unless he had a little chum). Many thanks for a wonderful stay-the fishing has been fantastic. The lake holds a good stock of Common Carp-my best was about 6lbs. There are also some super specimens of Crucian carp and large Rudd. On one memorable morning I bagged 12 large commons, 3 Crucians and a plump Rudd, for a total of about 70lbs in 3hrs-super sport! The fish are all in super condition-Jenny might show you the photo's if you are really keen. Best bait seemed to be sweetcorn, fished over 'loose fed trout pellets'. To all who follow 'tight lines'. We did however, have time to do other things.Best places were Agen, Nerac, Cassenuil, Laparade, Vianne, and countryside around Prayssas. The water lilly gardens and Bonaguil Castle and Remy's for lunch. Only a half hour walk. Thank you for the plant cuttings; they'll remind us of our wonderful stay at 'Gone Fishin' and our kind and generous hosts.
