We are pleased to announce that guests at Eco-Gites
will now have Internet access, free of charge, and
UK satellite TV on request for a small additional fee.
Up until now guests have been able to pick up our WiFi connection with varying degrees of ease, sometimes in the gite, sometimes only leaning over the garden gate. Now all that has changed with the gite having it's own Internet access. You just need an Ethernet cable to connect your laptop into the wall and you are free to surf away at your leisure, totally free of charge.
The gite will be let as TV free but for a small fee of €25 we will install a TV for your weeks stay complete with all the UK 'freeview' channels. You can even choose to have the TV part way through the week should you later decide you want it. Hopefully this way we can keep everyone happy when it comes to the question of, "should we book a gite with or without a TV?" It's your choice at Eco-Gites of LĂ©nault :-)
I think that's a great idea to let the customer decide if they want the TV rather than supplying it straight away. Kids on holiday, we have found, just accept there is no English TV and usually just get on with it. It's nice to know it's there if you fancy it.

Welcome to the blog Karen. That was pretty much our view of things but thought it might be a useful extra for winter visitors.
