Dave and I are both from Surrey. We when I was 16 and Dave was 17.
We have been married for 57 years.
Both of us are from large families, I am the eldest of 5 and Dave was one of 5 boys. We have one daughter, two sons and 7 grandchildren ages from 11 to 33, A great grandchild joined the family October 2024. Never a day goes by that I have not spoken to one member of the family.
We lived at Tattenham Corner on Epsom Downs for 33 years until we moved to France. Our intention was always to move to Cornwall but this was not really feasible financially, so we had to rethink. It was either Spain or France, but as we already had an apartment in Spain we decided on France, mainly because it was so much easier for the family to visit. One car on the ferry with the family and dogs, instead of lots of flights and worrying about getting a dog sitter of paying kennel fees.
We travelled extensively before we moved to France, our favourite places being India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Thailand to name a few. We still enjoy getting out and people say they do not know how we manage being always on the go, but, why not?
We love meeting new people and appreciate we are all different. Some like the peace and quiet of La Cachette and we do not disturb that. We are there if needed.
We have tried hard to make this a home from home, with everything you might need. We have 20 years of running La Cachette and take all comments and feedback to heart.
We do not advertise one price then add on lots of extra costs for linen and electric etc. The price is fully inclusive of gas, electric, Tourist Tax, and all bed linen is provided. We do have a cleaning fee, we just ask our guests to leave it as they find it. Just bring yourself and your bath towels.
I hope this gives you a bit of an insight to both of us and we look forward to welcoming everyone to our little bit of paradise. Hope to see you soon.
