Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Bois Mort Farm. You can see from the entire accommodation that the host Richard has an eye for detail and you can see and feel this in everything during your stay. The gite is very tastefully decorated, clean and has lovely beds. We stayed in Maison Maurice, which is suitable for 4 people. With a private terrace at both the front and back, equipped with parasol and beautiful and comfortable garden furniture. Richard cooked delicious meals for us several evenings and around the lovely pool, with luxurious sun beds, we did not lack anything. It is a beautiful and peaceful setting and there are also very nice activities in the area. It was a lovely holiday and we would love to come back again!

Summary: Our stay at Bois Mort exceeded all expectations and Maison Maurice was the perfect place for a much-needed lazy holiday, surrounded by farmland and wildflower meadows. We loved the charming little house equipped with everything we needed, with two private terraces and easy access to the amazing new pool. Most of all, Richard is an exceptional host and chef - and great company, too. We’ll definitely return, we absolutely loved everything about it. Thank you, Richard!

Summary: The gîte was just as described, but the pictures don’t do it justice, it’s much better. From the moment you drive to the lane in to Bois Mort you know this is going to be a great place to stay. The cottage is perfectly decorated and furnished, with everything you could ever need, from pots and pans to baby monitors, it’s there. Richard even has a small ‘shop’ full of the essentials plus food, treats and games. On arrival Richard met us with his warm Scots welcome and walked us around, the veg gardens, barn with seating, pool, hot tub and much more. Richard is a great host and nothing is too much trouble, the charcuterie platter he prepared for us after a days travelling was perfect all washed down with his local Rosé from the welcome hamper. During our stay France had a bit of a heatwave, and whilst cooling off in the pool one afternoon, Richard unprompted brought each of us chilled wine - perfect. The setting is a perfect getaway, quiet and set in the beautiful French countryside. The flowers around the gîte are a magnet for butterflies, bees and the amazing Hummingbird moth. There are numerous walks down the local lanes between the fields with always somewhere new to explore. No matter where you go there are Châteaus, churches, villages, markets to see. We had a great day visit to Samur whose Château dates back to 892. Plus the abundance of wineries there offer a perfect opportunity to taste and learn about the local still and sparking wines with prices much better than the UK. An amazing and special holiday, thank you Richard.

Summary: Our Gite was very cute and the attention to detail is wonderful, we had everything we needed for our family holiday and more. The more included our own little veggie patch, fresh home grown/made produce from the little shop and a delicious meal cooked by owner Richard who is the kindest host. There's loads to see and do in the region if you do a little research and at the end of the day, the highlight of the holiday for our 8year old, the swimming pool in the garden. We can't wait to come back for a third time next year.

Summary: Simply outstanding by far the best gite we have stayed in and we have stayed in over 20 across France. Our host Richard made our stay so good. Outstanding host. Tranquil and scenic surroundings. So peaceful and just what we wanted. Added to that the on site chef made going out for a meal extra special. The little on ate extra pool, hit tub, salads & charcuterie also enriched our experience.

Summary: My husband and I stayed at maison maurice a couple of weeks ago, the cottage is clean, has everything you need, a fantastically comfortable bed and a lovely shower room. I am in the hospitality industry and feel that most people need the accommodation clean and a good night's sleep, maison maurice ticked these boxes. We also had the use of a hot tub and an above ground swimming pool which was lovely. Richard is warm, welcoming and hospitable, the home made veg and fresh eggs and bread were wonderful.Richard recommended a visit to Oradur sur glane, it took approx 2 hrs to get there but roads are good and it is well worth it. Everthing you could ask for and a bit more, i think you wil be seeing us again Richard .

Summary: Accurately described, located in the very quiet hamlet of Bois Mort. Saint Loup, a few minutes drive away has shops and a market. The `Maison du Maurice` gite, was very clean, tidy and tastefully furnished throughout.The location is very quiet and rural. The pool was a great bonus. Richard,the owner, was very friendly and helpful, giving us lots of advice and local information. He also provides a range of excellent home made and local produce like jams and meats. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend `Bois Mort` to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in the french countryside . We hope to return. Thank you Richard. Regards Andy, Annie and Kate

Summary: Our overall impression of Maison du Maurice is as a authentically traditional home, in such a pretty hamlet providing all modern day facilities for folks on holiday. The properties and gardens cared for by the owner,Richard, can only be described as beautifully landscaped and lovingly tended. Richard is the perfect host which he achieves by mixing perfectly ,being in the background of your holiday day to day, changing to being immediately available when needed, this for example to give information and recommendation on the area, places of interest, etc. A brilliant balancing act. We used the dining option provided by Richard which we found comparable with high quality restaurants providing us with menus filled with local produce. Richards food was delicious. We loved our stay and will definitely return. Susan & Brian
