L’avis des hôtes du Mas Clémentine
Ce qui suit n’est qu’un petit exemple des commentaires prélevés sur le livre d’or a la suite de l’ouverture du Mas Clémentine en Mai 2008. Nous les avons laissés dans leur langue d’origine.

Annie and Keith,
Thank you for a fantastic week at Mas Clementine. We loved the accommodation, the views, the pool and the countryside. A visit to Camp Adventure was excellent fun and we have lots of stories to tell after canoeing in the Ardeche.
I really enjoyed the tour of the whole villa, it’s absolutely stunning and we will be recommending it to friends.
We have had a great stay and thanks for your hospitality and local tips and advice.
A bientot,
Shirley, John and Peter
Scotland P.S. We sipped our Champagne with a warm goats cheese salad from the local goat farm-delicious! Thanks to Keith for showing Peter the local goat farm.
Finally, the local bistro in the village is worth a stop- lovely, family run with plain local produce-inexpensive too! We will be back.
We have had a lovely week at Mas Clementine. The apartment was really nice and airy and well furnished. Also great to stay somewhere with a well equipped kitchen for once!
The views are fantastic and the pool and gardens are delightful. The Ardeche is also a great place to spend a holiday with lots to do.
I hope we will be back.

Dear Keith and Annie,
Mas Clementine surpassed our expectations while the property, views and settings were perfect, your hospitality made the difference! You’ve made us and the children feel more than welcome and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Your little retirement ‘project’ is an absolute success!!
Best wishes and hope to see you again in the future.

Dear Keith and Annie,
We are truly impressed with your beautiful home. We thank you for the Champagne on our arrival, the warm welcome and the chance just ‘to be’ and to relax. We hope to return one day with our ‘extended’ family.
Yvonne and Michael
Dear Annie and Keith,
We all had a great time here, the location was great, the house was perfect and your welcome was warm. We enjoyed all our day visits to the caves, nougat factory, karting, canoeing etc;
The kids had a fantastic time. Thank you for making the pizza on my birthday, it brought old memories flooding back.
Unfortunately, we now have to go home but we’re already thinking about when we can come back. Thanks for everything,
Elliot, Cedric, Jill and Gavin

Dear Annie and Keith,
Thanks for making our stay so comfortable. The home was so well equipped and comfortable. We’ve had amazing weather, the pool has been great and it has been wonderful to be so quiet and peaceful.
We have enjoyed canoeing down the Ardeche. We went 24km which was both exhilarating and exhausting!
We enjoyed our visit to Aven d’Orgnac- the cave and the prehistory museum. We’d also recommend the Grotte Chauvet exhibition in Vallon Pont d’Arc.
Finally, we found a lovely round walk from Mas Clementine to St Julien on a quiet footpath which was great.
You’ve been great hosts and we’ve enjoyed meeting our fellow guests.

Annie and Keith,
What a lovely place – great to chill out and do your own thing!
We have explored the countryside on our bikes, canoed down the Ardeche, visited several ‘villages de caractere’ and swum in the amazing pool! We have even managed to ride up the 5 ½ km from Pont d’Ucel to Mas Clementine – some of us slower than others! Keen cyclists may wish to take Tony up on his recommendation to ride up the Col d’ Escrinet returning via St Joseph des Bancs. Other mere mortals will stay by the pool and sunbathe.
And the evenings….on our rooftop balcony with its incredible view, watching the sun set and the moon rise, with a good bottle of wine.
Thanks for the warm welcome, a bientot,
Jacqueline and Tony

10th Augustt 2009 Dear Annie and Keith,
This has been such a special week for us spending time with all our family, 10 adults and 3 children.
It is a perfect setting. We love the beautiful view from our terrace, the properly provided space and comfort with every modern facility in this lovely ‘farmhouse’ renovation.
We have had great fun at the pool, around the BBQ, perfected our Petanque and just generally chilled out.
Your hospitality is outstanding and we would love to return one day.
Thank you again,
Frank and Lorraine
15th August
We have had a lovely time, we have been to lots of places. I loved the swimming pool and I also did a BBQ whilst we were here. The Petanque was nice too.
Maddy aged 8
Thank you Keith and Annie for a lovely week at Mas Clementine, the cold Champagne on arrival was very welcome and the accommodation, swimming pool, picnic area, BBQ and Petanque were all fabulous.
It was always a joy to come back after a hot day exploring. To enjoy the breeze and the terrace, not to mention the beautiful, peaceful views.
Thanks again,
Isabelle, Richard, Joseph and Madelaine

We have had such a relaxing week – the pool fantastic and great for the days you want to do nothing. Otherwise seen some spectacular countryside and have all eaten like horses.
The cold Champagne was very welcome on arrival – thanks Keith and Annie for ensuring our weeks holiday was just brilliant.

Annie and Keith, what a fabulous holiday house. Everything here that you could ask for including a much appreciated bottle of Champagne as a welcome. We have thoroughly enjoyed the Ardeche area and would certainly recommend Mas Clementine for a holiday.
Lots of awesome views and beautiful villages to visit.
Many thanks,

Nous souhaitons passer une semaine en pleine nature, au calme dans une belle région. Nous avons été pleinement satisfaits de notre séjour chez vous ! Bel environnement, beaux paysage…. Très bon confort et plaisirs de la piscine ont fait de cette semaine presque caniculaire un vrai moment de bien être. De jolis moments en famille, avec quelques frayeurs en canoë, la découverts de Vals et d’Aubenas, les couchers de soleil, les nuits étoiles…
Nous avons aussi apprécie la bouteille de Champagne offerte a notre arrivée. Bref, merci pour tout !

Dear Keith and Annie,
Thank you so much for all your hard work and generosity in making this place so special. We have had the most amazing three weeks. We feel so refreshed after spending hours by the pool, time taking in the views, great meals with our family, trips out at Balazuc and Vals les Bains. Mas Clementine is the most beautiful of places.
You have been unbelievably welcoming and helpful. It’s been fun spending time chatting with you both.
Hopefully we’ll be back.
Tim, Rachel, Phoebe and Sineon
Dear Keith and Annie,
We too have enjoyed our stay in this beautiful place you have created with stunning views across to the forest, beautiful landscape and wonderful weather. The pool was a wonderful place of play and relaxing and always kept so clean.
I loved the walk to the pool with my little granddaughter, stopping to look at the flowers, butterflies and lizards and meeting Annie for a chat on the way.
We have felt extremely relaxed and refreshed and have drunk in the beauty and enjoyed the family atmosphere here.
The memories of this place will stay with us for a long time. Thank you for your warm welcome.
We wish you great joy in all your future plans.
John and Aneve
Dear Keith and Annie,

Thanks again,

Dear Keith and Annie,
What a small world we live in and what a wonderful place for a holiday. We were so surprised to learn of our mutual connections!
Our boys have thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the other water sports nearby, although jumping into the Ardeche probably ranks as the firm favourite (although not with Mum, quietly having kittens!) Our canoe trip from Balazuc was brilliant fun.
The villa is perfectly appointed and wonderfully well equipped. The best we have experienced in France.
Thank you so much for your kind hospitality and warm welcome. We look forward to a return visit and promise to actively market ‘Mas Clementine’ to family and friends.
Many thanks for a great holiday and we hope to see you both again.

Dear Keith and Annie,
I had a great time here! You have such a lovely view. It was lovely and relaxing just sitting there sunbathing by the pool. The garden is astonishing and so is the kitchen. It’s got all the things you need.
Lots of love Lucy. P.S. It’s just like home.
Cher Keith et Annie,
Merci beaucoup pour un superbe vacances. La piscine est fantastique et le chalet est très belle. Mi passe-temps préfère était le kayaking avec ma famille.
Merci beaucoup,
Ed
Thank you for a lovely week in Mas Clementine. We arrived feeling a little bit below par and it was the perfect sanctuary for all of us.
A welcoming bottle of Champagne was much appreciated and I think that you have covered all bases to provide the perfect holiday retreat.
It was so good that I think we neglected the Ardeche in favour of the pool.
I hope that we can return soon.
Best wishes,
Justin, Sarah, Edward, Harry, Lucy and Charlotte

Good luck,

Those who created Mas Clementine knew how to provide privacy to each of the apartments while maintaining so much authenticity to the farmhouse building that even the renter of the smallest apartment can begin to feel as if he
owns the land and the paradise with it.
Ben B. – Guilford, Surrey July 2008
Mas Clementine is immaculate and Le Bleuet has all the comforts you need for an enjoyable holiday: American fridge, dishwasher etc; The patio area of le Bleuet has terrific views and is a great place to eat breakfast in the morning and sit under the stars at night. The pool is fantastic and has provided lots of entertainment for the girls and has been a great place to relax.
Mr and Mrs E. – Poole, Dorset August 2008
The pool was lovely! The garden is beautiful. The views of the mountains are amazing. Wow! Annie and Keith, you rock! Thanks for the holiday it was a real treat. Merci and hope to see you again.
Olivia – age 11. August 2008
We had a fantastic stay at Mas Clementine, the accommodation is wonderful, and everything catered for. The children loved splashing and swimming in the pool and using the lilos. Keith and Annie have been great hosts and made us very welcome. The canoeing down the Ardeche is wonderful – just use plenty of cream.
