About our Guestbook

Prior to moving to France we gained seven years experience in hosting guests and lodgers from all around the world at our UK property.

 

The selection of comments below includes two from previous guests who stayed with us in the UK, while the rest are from our guests in France. Some reviews are from Linden Lodge guestbook, while others are from emails and another site, where our lodge is advertised.

 

We hope you will come to stay and look forward to meeting you soon.

Perfect moments

Nous garderons un très grand souvernir de notre passage chez nous. Un acceuil chalereuse, les excellents repas, et bon sommeil! Sans oublièe.

Well-appointed

Just had an absolutely fantastic few days with Mark and Ingrid. We found the lodge extremely comfortable and well-equipped - the best-equipped place we have ever stayed in. Mark and Ingrid are great hosts and gave us great recommendations for walks and restaurants in the area. We enjoyed beer and frites by Massignac lake and dining in Jeux du Pots in Verteuil. We'll be back!

Superhosts

We've stayed with Mark and Ingrid many times over the years - they are some of our favourite people and Ingrid is the best cook I know.  Her dinners are highly recommended. We can't wait to come back!

Fabulous

Linden Lodge is fabulous - comfy, stylish and extremely well equipped. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here,  and Mark and Ingrid's hospitality is second to none. There is plenty to see and do in the area,  including the  nearby chateau de la Rochefoucauld and town. The village of Saint-Claud has everything you need in walking distance and easy access to other places of interest so Linden Lodge is a great base, from which to explore further. We thoroughly recommend a stay here. We hope to be back soon.

Andy & Jo Hobson

Dear Andy & Jo,
Thanks so much for your rave review! We loved hosting you and are really glad you enjoyed your stay.  Jo - your suggestion to put a mirror in the main studio space for guests wanting to do their hair and make-up, in addition to the one in the bathroon, is a good one! We have already done it and think people will approve!  See you hopefully again soon.

Worth staying longer

Nice place in Charente, very quiet. Cozy and brand new accommodation, comfortable bed and layout of the wonderful studio. We would stay several days. The kitchen is very well equipped. Adorable bathroom and the welcome is charming. Thank you.

Wow - what can we say?

Absolutely gorgeous. You have done an amazing job. Never been in such well-equipped accommodation. Bed lovely and comfortable. Enjoyed a lovely evening of home-cooked food and excellent company with you both. See you in the Summer!
