Camping De Courte Vallée

A aimé : What is not to like ? A very friendly, peaceful campsite. Jayne and James work so hard to make sure that everything runs smoothly. The pitches and facilities are excellent and spotlessly clean. The food is also really good and very reasonably priced. We loved the area and we will return. 5 stars from us all round .

N'a pas aimé: Can’t think of anything !

A aimé : Very peaceful, spacious pitches, pool area, pretty village setting. James very friendly and helpful. A lovely area to stay if you have all you need with you for the duration. Very relaxed site with local amenities a short drive away.

N'a pas aimé: It's just felt unkept. The pool wasn't very clean, the toilet ceiling was filthy with insects and cobwebs, outdoor bar area in a similar state. Limited opening times for food or drinks and Janes mood was unpredictable - we couldn't tell if we were going to get told off or be welcomed and it was quite off putting

Réponse du gestionnaire : Firstly you obviously booked via pitchup.com. When we checked your booking upon arrival we noticed that you had booked for 2 adults only but you arrived with a child. You told us that you wanted to stay a few days extra and you would settle this and the extra child payment at some stage. This payment is still outstanding. We are not sure what you mean by "unkept" as we have a team of gardeners looking after the 3.4 hectares daily. You are in the middle of rural France where the flora and fauna are rife - especially the spiders at this time of year. The pool is cleaned every morning. However, as it is an outside pool it is open to the elements and things do get blown into the pool during the day. The shower block ceiling is not filthy and again is cleaned daily, but in rural France the cobwebs appear again very quickly, same for the terrace area. The bar is open daily from 17.30 hours and food is available from 18.30 to 20.00 every day of the week. There are numerous signs around the campsite advertising this. We do not tell people off for no reason. However, we do advise people when they are breaching health and safety rules especially by the swimming pool for their safety and the safety of others.

A aimé : Pool area and friendly welcome.

A aimé : Pitch Size fine. Arrived late just after kitchen had closed but hosts cooked some chips for us at quite a high cost. Facilities were reasonable and close to town. Great for a stop over for onward journey. We are at the restaurant on the last night which I as very nice but simple food.

N'a pas aimé: A little over priced for food and beer

Réponse du gestionnaire : Unfortunately we cannot keep the kitchen open indefinitely and have to have publicised opening and closing times. However we did put the friers back on and as you state cooked some take away chips. The cost of living has impacted us here in France as well. We have kept our prices the same as last year to remain competitive so our cost base has increased. We have expanded the menu this year but after all we are a campsite fundamentally not a restaurant. You could have eaten in town where we know the menu would have been more basic and more expensive.

A aimé : Nice friendly campsite, plenty of room on the pitches. Nice pool and lovely clean toilets & shower blocks. Restaurant and bar on site but can’t comment on the food as we had a BBQ.

N'a pas aimé: Not much going on in AirVault

A aimé : Loved the site. Was quiet with beautiful tree lined grounds. The pool was a godsend as it was very hot most days. English couple couldn’t be more friendly or accommodating. They were very relaxed and her home cooking was delicious. No shop but village shop and supermarket pretty close by. Showers were hot and cleaned regularly. Lovely shower stuff holders, lovely touch. Not much to see in Airvault but it’s very rustic, historic appeal is very charming. Need to drive places. Puy de Fuy is a must, as is Poitiers. Lake beaches nearby.

N'a pas aimé: Lots of flies, take your zappers and candles. Couldn’t fault it.

A aimé : Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Facilities- showers and toilets kept very clean. Bar and Bistro offering a good selection with some daily specials. Walking distance to picturesque town of Airvault.

N'a pas aimé: Pitch a bit uneven for our motorhome even with levellers but more even pitches with less services available ( we wanted water and electric hookups and these are limited).
