From our visitors book
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of spending time in the Skippy gite for 1 week whilst we were house hunting.
I have to say this was one of the most beautiful places that we have ever had the pleasure to stay in, the accommodation had absolutely everything we needed and more, the surroundings were spectacular and very peaceful and the hosts, David & Diana were amazing.
I would have no hesitation on giving them and the accommodation 10 out of 10, they have the most amazing gites, David & Diana have also helped us so much with our move to France, we can’t thank them enough, we feel like we have known them for years and will stay in touch with them forever.
Thank you both for making our first time in France so brilliant and for all of your help and support, we could not have asked for more, I know that you will be flooded with bookings once word get’s out and rightly so!
Many thanks Lisa & Kevan Palmer

Fantastic stay
By Mike Holmes on 26-Aug-2026We had such a fantastic stay at Gîte Skippy. The location is super - peaceful with gorgeous scenery, and plenty of great cycling in the area. The gîte has tons of space for two people and feels very private. We loved that there are so many different spots to sit outside around the grounds, plus the pool is big plus and the views from the upstairs lounge are amazing. It feels hidden away, but you're still really close to supermarkets for supplies. David and Diana were lovely hosts - so helpful and welcoming and quick to respond to questions and issues. It was just a really relaxing holiday all around. Would 100% stay here again!! Just a heads up: definitely make sure to book restaurants in advance, as local places fill up fast!

Gite Skippy - Truly Wonderful week
By Chris & Alice Pennel on 08-Aug-2025We have had a truly wonderful week staying at Gite Skippy. David & Diana have been the perfect hosts. They are both welcomming & helpful, & nothing is too much trouble. The spotless accommodation is fabulous & has everything we could possibly need, and the outside sitting areas & pool have been wonderful in the glorious sunshine. We enjoyed visiting Aubeterre, the Monday market at Chalais, and the Chateau at Mercerie. we also had a very special lunch in the delightful town centre at Villebois Lavalette under a medieval open sided barn! It is a lovely are of France, and we are looking forward to returning. Thankyou Diana & David
So relaxing
By Suzanne Wakeham on 10-Sep-2024We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful gite. I can't fault anything about our stay here. We needed a get away from it all and this was it. David and Diana were such kind hosts and looked in on me when my husband had to fly home for a couple of days. Im still dreaming about this holiday destination and would love to return sometime.
