Wow ! Totally surpassed our expectations. The attention to detail is amazing. This place is truly unique, the decor and furnishings are beautiful. The outside space is spectacular. I could ramble on for hours about our stay, not to mention all the incredible things to do in the surrounding area.

We had an amazing stay in your beautiful home. It has been a lovely relaxing holiday in this little oasis in the French countryside. Everything is perfect...

Thank you both so much for a magical 5-night stay.
We have absolutely loved staying here and will miss it when we go home!
The gîte is amazing, beautiful inside and out. We really appreciate all of your efforts for making our stay so comfortable.
Such a lovely touch having fresh bread, eggs and veg from your garden waiting for us - perfect.
We loved feeding the chickens and the horse!
Thank you also for all the recommendations on what to see and where to go, Russell. We will definitely be back!

A little corner of paradise ! Everything is perfect; the house, the exteriors, the decoration, the atmosphere.

Laura - July 2024
This is my second visit to the beautiful ‘Rusty Shears gite’ hosted by Kirstie and Russell.

From the outset our stay was just perfect. We were made very welcome and even had welcome drinks upon arrival.

This was a special visit for my mums birthday and Kirstie even baked a cake, which was absolutely delicious.

The gite is immaculately presented and the interior is simply gorgeous, with sumptuous cushions, uniquely bespoke painted furniture and house plants that compliment the gite’s luxurious eclectic style.

The outside space is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine and listening to the nature that surrounds the outside space. They have thought of everything; an outside eating area, complete with overhead sails to stay in the shade, corner sofa area complete with parasol to stay in or out of the shade, a bbq area with small outside prep area, hot tub and even 4 sun loungers.

The location is set in the countryside so expect to drive or cycle to the local vineyards and restaurants but rest assured Kirstie and Russell can recommend plenty of places of interest and even arrange cycle hire or restaurant bookings if preferred.
All in all a really tranquil long weekend away that offered us plenty of tasty local food, vineyard visits, rest and relaxation in the sunshine.

If you’re an animal lover then you’ll also appreciate Kirstie’s love of animals too and if you’re lucky you’ll get to taste a freshly laid egg from ’Cluckingham palace!’
A truly wonderful space and warm welcome that will encourage you to return.

A gem of a holiday find - we will definitely be going back soon! Thank you Kirstie and Russell for your hospitality during our stay at Rusty Shears gite and for making great memories!

I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Rusty Shears with friends.
The hosts Kirstie and Russell have thought of everything and are on hand if you need anything at all.
Beautiful decor, spacious living area and bedrooms. Comfortable beds and powerful showers. The patio and outdoor area is also lovely with great views across surrounding land.
The gite is in a lovely peaceful location, but close to historic towns if you like to explore. We also went on a fantastic local wine tasting experience recommended by Russell.

Rachel - April 2024
The gite is beautifully furnished and very comfortable, the hosts Kirstie and Russell have made sure you have everything you need for your break. There is a lovely private seating area outside with dining area, hot tub and patio which looks out onto the orchard and fields. Wonderful place to stay in a great location for visiting local vineyards and historical towns and villages.
