Valmar Gite is not only luxury holiday accommodation in the Lot et Garonne, but also our own  'Home from Home' and when we began letting it to other holiday-makers in June 2007, we wanted our guests to also feel that they were staying in their own 'Home from Home'. With this in mind we left a 'guest book' at the Gite and asked our guests to write their comments 'good or bad' in the book at the end of their stay, so that we could respond to their comments and improve the service we offer to future guests.  
The following is a small sample of what our guests have thought of Valmar. They are "verbatim" comments taken either straight from the guest book, or were comments made using our feedback form. We are limited to the number of words we can include in this Advert, so we have only included comments from 2008

"You cannot put into words just how beautiful the location of this Gite is. It has everything you need to make your stay very comfortable and relaxing. When you sit by the pool you feel like you're in paradise. Local shops are only 5 minutes away and stock everything you need. This was our second visit to Valmar and it won't be our last. Many thanks Martin & Christine".

"We have stayed in dozens of gites, farmhouses, chateaux, cabins and tents all over France and can honestly say that this compares with the best. The house location is excellently placed to take in the breath-taking views and yet it's handy to large supermarkets and towns. I defy anyone not to gasp when they arrive and wonder if they have indeed landed in heaven! Inside the property does not let you down. The rooms are beautifully furnished and clean and much thought has been taken to ensure you have a wonderful stay. I am truly envious of Martin and Christine for having this place. 
My family and I spent a memorable week here visiting quaint little villages and just lounging around the magnificent pool. We''ll treasure the photos forever" !!

"If you ever want to experience a little slice of heaven, this is it !  A beautifully built and well-equipped gite, in the most stunning of locations, with views to die for from every angle, including the pool. Excellent location for sightseeing around this beautiful area of South West France, or for just complete relaxation in peace and quiet at the gite and pool. Lots of activities for all to do. Fantastic horse-riding hacks with Pascale at Pailloles (25 minute drive from the gite), through woods and the lake, and very cheap. Fun boating activities for all ages at Castelmoron-sur-Lot, also cheap. Great night market overlooking the Lot Valley at Laparade, on Tuesday evenings - different stalls selling hot and cold food to make up your own picnic. Live music and fantastic french atmosphere. 
Very good customer service all round, both before and after visit. Travelling to gite from Southampton couldn't have been easier. Would definitely return to this wonderful place".

"Gite comfortable, area pretty. Weather hot & sunny and sunsets to die for. All in all a pretty relaxing fortnight. An area not visited by us before on our many trips to France but we were well impressed. 
Monpazier was our favourite place, beautiful and unspoilt. Sarlat was certainly worth a return visit (after 22 years) and the scenery along the Dordogne remains beautiful. We also loved the water lily garden in Le Temple-sur-Lot. 
A place that fulfilled all our holiday needs - Thank You".

"A truly delightful property with stunning views, Valmar Gite is in the perfect location for exploring the local area, or for a relaxing break where you don't venture much further from the pool. Martin and Christine were incredibly helpful during the booking process, the house is stylish and thoughtfully equipped and I would definitely return".
