Art Reviews

  • Thank you for your wonderful hospitality for our sketching /felting retreat. We really felt like a part of your family, and nothing was too much trouble for you. The local visits were inspirational, and you gave us a real insight into the region. I only wish the food at home was as good!

  • I was lucky enough to attend the first art course held at Gites L'Enclos. Our hosts Claire-Louise and Bruce were so welcoming and obliging. Their gites are beautiful, comfortable and with all the facilities of home. I loved the way that you could be private yet you were in a little hamlet. I do hope that others will have the opportunity to create art in such an inspiring place and the chance to try to capture the view from the terrace!

  • We all had a wonderful time on our felting and sketching retreat at l'Enclos, and would never have known that it was Claire Louise and Bruce's first time hosting a fully-catered group for a themed holiday on-site. I was allocated the Garden Room, which was very spacious and extremely comfortable, with all the facilities one could wish for, and a lovely French window on to the lawn/outdoor cinema area, which was very handy. Our meals were delicious, full of local specialties and home-grown produce, and with all personal tastes and quirks catered for. The generous bar with free-flowing beer and excellent local wine was just as promised. The most striking memory I have taken from the hospitality at l'Enclos is the boundless energy, enthusiasm, friendliness and care shown by Claire Louise and Bruce to all of us. They are a talented and charming couple, and genuinely enjoy their roles. That is infectious, and makes for a great holiday. Thank you so much again - I really hope to be back.
