Some comments regarding the tennis facilities from our guests in 2007:

 We have had a perfect week…Penny & John are very welcoming & the setting is very tranquil……but one of the best things from our point of view was daily tennis coaching for all the family by local coach Philippe Lagard – a fantastic coach & charming person!! S K & A J + M (16yrs) & B (13yrs)  North London

 What a wonderful welcome………..the weather turned out hot…..D & J (aged 12yrs) made the most of the tennis every day at least twice…J was also able to have tennis coaching arranged by Penny & John & the tennis court has been used until 10pm when bad light stopped play. S, D & J G, Huddersfield

 La Tiede was fantastic with everything we could possibly need during our stay.  The peace & quiet was really appreciated as was the swimming pool & tennis court where we spent many hot afternoons.  Thank you for a very refreshing holiday & we hope to return in the future. J& M N + T & H (12 & 13 yrs) Cambridge 

We have thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd 2 week stay at La Betoulle – as before the tennis court & swimming pool were very well used by all the family in lovely weather….thank you for another brilliant holiday….we might be back again for the 3rd time next summer. The H family  Ashford, Kent
