Summer in full swing...

I have a good feeling about this week We seem to have some really lovely guests. Two families are from last year, so it has been wonderful to catch up over a glass of rose. They have already broken the ice with the other guests who are newcomers to La Roultiere so already it feels friendly and inclusive. The new guests are chatty and open and seem to get what a holiday at La Roultiere is about. It has been interesting to find out how guests find us cyberly and make the choice to come here. One family this week has holidayed at CountryKids and Chateau Ribenac but further south, but appauled to their child friendliness. It is nice to know we can hold our own with such holiday providers, and are competing in a similar market.
And of course I have been absolutely thrilled to have been accepted as one of Alistair Sawdays Special Places for the guide Self catering France. There is just over 400 self catering special places in this highly reputable guides so I feel it is a true accreditation! The nice thing is that they dont just look at the aspect of the accommodation, but at what the owners offer too. We were interviewed and visited before we found our way into the book and website. Definately one for the CV !!!
