Fraise gite finished

That's it, the first gite is finally finished, with guests in residence. Phew!

The last couple of days have been a marathon cleaning exercise. The tiled floors downstairs needed a hands-and-knees scrubbing several times. We did have dust sheets down, but somehow the muck gets through. Next time I think I'll be a little more careful about protecting the floor. All the curtains and net curtains Caroline made have been hung, pictures on walls, furniture moved in and everything finally ready. We really really need a holiday, we are both completely physically and mentally exhausted.

Below are photos of the new gite showing the living room, dining area, kitchen and the two upstairs bedrooms. We are trying to find a traditional old fashioned wooden bed in a Breton style for the master bedroom. Once we do the pine bed will move to the downstairs bedroom.

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
