"Pros: It was in a small village but great access to numerous cycle friendly roads as well as some ev routes. The house was spacious and well equipped with secure parking, a swimming pool and a beautiful garden. The hostess lived next door so she was available if you needed anything but not intrusive Cons: You would need a car as the nearest village with a bakery was 6 km away" ~Doreen

"Pros: Tucked away in the quiet countryside, Le Poutic is the perfect setting for a relaxing break. The property is beautiful and well kept, with attractive gardens and an inviting swimming pool. Arrival and check-in are stress-free: reception warm and friendly, parking convenient. The options for accommodation range from a standard double to an attached two-bedroom gîte with full kitchen, two bathrooms, washing machine, etc. We splurged on the gîte, which was spacious, well-appointed, light, airy, clean, and comfortable. Isabelle and Florent are exceptional hosts: welcoming, attentive, and clearly committed to making sure every guest has a wonderful experience. Leisurely dinners and breakfasts on the patio were a highlight; Florent, a creative and accomplished cook, prepares delicious, wholesome meals from fresh local ingredients. Isabelle gave us great advice about Armagnac distilleries, wineries, picturesque villages, and other attractions in the area. Thanks to her suggestions, we experienced a side of the region we never would have discovered on our own. (Don’t miss the spectacular Jardins de Coursiana in la Romieu.) Créon-d’Armagnac is a quiet and unspoiled corner of southwestern France, and Le Poutic is the perfect base for exploring the region—or for lounging about and letting yourself be pampered while you recharge. Le Poutic’s dining room wall features a quotation from Paul Bocuse: “Recevoir quelqu'un, c’est se charger de son bonheur.” Putting our happiness in the capable hands of Isabelle and Florent was one of the best travel decisions we’ve made in a long time. Highly, wholeheartedly recommend! Cons: Everything was great!" ~Alison
