Great stay with Tilly 'le chat'

Upon arrival, Gillian instantly made me feel very welcome in her Royan home. And Tilly 'le chat' and I were friends from the start. Gillian had very kindly rounded up a couple of her French friends, who were so kind to invite me for 'aperitifs' and show me around during my stay. It was a great experience to be amongst 'the locals'. I never felt like a tourist. And I guess being able to use Gillians bike to explore the area, surely added to that feeling. I'm sure that I'll see my Royan friends again ;)

A beautiful area minutes from the beach

Gillian was so welcoming by the time I got there I felt like I was visiting an old friend.. lots of information about what to see and do was introduced to some wonderful friends and neighbors. Tilly is a pretty special she definitely lets you know her needs and wants... she loves her outside space and will direct which chair you should sit in so she gets the most sun or shade depending on her mood...lol ????. She would often beat me into the bed at night so I would have to curl in around her.. just the way she likes it. A wonderful sit in absolutely beautiful area everything is within walking distance and the beaches are incredible. I would highly recommend Tilly's house and Gillian as a host if you get an opportunity

Five week house sit with Tilly, the cat.

Our host Gill is a really lovely person and gave us a great welcome and briefing prior to her departure. Gill went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable and also introduced us to some of her local friends before she left. It was a pleasure for us to care for Tilly and Gill’s home in her absence. We look forward to visiting Gill in the foreseeable future.
