Thank you so much, we had a fabulous stay at Cassard. All the family enjoyed it so much. We had everything we needed, the place was peaceful and idyllic. As a family ranging in ages from 9years to 79years it’s sometimes hard to suit everyone but Cassard definitely did and we would book another holiday with Sally in a heartbeat! Thanks for a wonderful holiday.
Guest rating:
It was a lovely stay at Cassard, the location was why we booked the house, but the extra attention to the details was what made it a truly enjoyable and relaxing short break. It was great to be able to use the space as if it was our own home. All of the fixtures were good quality which made the holiday relaxing and easy. The pool was beautiful and well maintained and the outside space was well thought out making it easy to relax in the sun or shade. We all enjoyed our week's stay and made good use of all the facilities that the house had and the access it gave us to the area. All of our party enjoyed our stay and have talked about staying here again in the future for longer than a week. This is a great endorsement especially considering they are teenagers!

We spent a very enjoyable two weeks at Cassard. The house was very comfortable, well equipped and had everything we needed. Easy check in and out, Sally and Richard kept us informed with everything we needed to know. A perfect base for exploring the local villages, and for bike rides along the Lot and Cele river valleys. The pool was great on hot days, and we loved sitting in the garden in the evenings watching the kestrels and kites hunting in the field opposite. There are some really nice walks further up the hill from the house, and a (free) tennis court down the road next to the campsite as well. A minor gripe was that the satellite TV reception dropped out whenever it rained (which it did sometimes), but this wasn't a big issue for us.
