Reviews
Janny en Pim from Someren,
We stayed in this beautiful gîte this spring in May.
The reception was great, Bill and Penn are lovely people. The gîte is clean, very complete and fully equipped. Bed is fine.
Because the weather this spring was not yet optimal, it was nice that we had the luxury of a TV.
Beautiful, well-maintained garden, beautiful views.
Because the gîte is somewhat remote, it is wonderfully quiet, you don't hear any traffic or partying neighbors at night and we love the peace and quiet.
Nevertheless, the gîte is a good starting point to visit all kinds of beautiful places in the region. We had a great time,
Thank you Bill and Penn for your hospitality and give your dogs a hug from us.Richard en Carina from Vlissingen,
The welcome was very warm, ther were eggs, bread, tomatoes, wine when we arrived for our first needs.Thank you for that gesture.It was a very nice stay in the little gite. Everything you need was available.Ther is one thing we missed: an extractor hood.The smells of the cooking/baking stays longer in the gite. But that’s a very small commentary. The garden was wonderful.The dog Mitch was very friendly and we had every visit from the chicken.Bill and Penn: you are lovely people.
The area around the gite was very nice to walk.All with all, we had a very good time there at le Breuil Malot. Richard and Carina. VlissingenRiet Gerrits from Son-Breugel,
Dear Pen, Bill,
The lovely gîte and you both, make us feel at ,,home’’ The 3 weeks we have been your guest, were fantastic. Mitch and the chickens were dayly guest at our gîte, ones a treat and they know where to go.
The silence in this agricultural environment, away from urban hectic. Many little mountainius roads , for us with an e-bike okay to do. Highly recommended for people where silence comes first on there list.
Pen, Bill thank you again .
