One of the best holidays ever
Not in the Guidebooks has given us one of the best holidays ever I have had a painting holiday in the South of France on my bucket list for ages this certainly delivered La Salle near Toulouse made the perfect setting and the owners Gill and Terry couldn t do enough for us Their house was lovely comfortable and had a studio in the garden for the painting - perfect They picked us up from the airport took us on all the excursions which were all really interesting inspiring and beautiful and fed us until we could eat no more The artist in residence for the week Jo Perkins was an inspiring supportive and excellent teacher whatever your experience levels The group gelled really quickly and we all left saying how much we would all love to do it again

A magical place to create incredible memories Treehouse stay
Our break away was just magical the treehouse was lovely with a fantastic decking area next to the stream The hot tub was great and the outdoor shower was lovely We had a rope swing and a hammock You really do not need to go off site so much to do or just relax and do nothing The walk from the car park is a effort so pack light Its a holiday where you really do have quality time and just perfect to create memories with family Just perfect we will book again and take our grandchild and all our sons partners Just perfect

Just back from an amazing trip to Norway with Not in the Guidebooks The local hosts the accommodation and all the experiences included in the package were fantastic This trip really allowed us to experience Norway taking us to places we would never have found on our own and connecting us with locals who really bought the place alive

Painting and wine tasting in south of
Painting and wine tasting in south of France Le Peyrail July 3rd-6th After a long journey to Bergerac airport I was met by my host Jo and from that moment I felt at ease The accommodation was rustic eclectic and comfortable first time sleeping on a waterbed - so relaxing At the house there was a collection of animals dogs cats hens doves horse donkey pigs and a baby blackbird It all added to the experience I have dabbled in watercolours Jo was attentive sharing many techniques and the art sessions were personalised to what I needed to enhance my watercolours Jo and her partner Stan prepared wonderful food and sitting out on the veranda along with excellent wine and good company Wine tasting was exceptional at a local vineyard Nothing was too much for Jo and Stan My only complaint - 3 nights is not enough

Paint the South of France
I had a relaxing 7 days in Bergerac particularly in Les Leves et Thoumeyragues where I stayed with host Jo and her partner Stan beautiful scenery fantastic food gorgeous animals and lots of art tuition My favourite day was the day we went to Bergerac Jo and myself sketched a typical Bergerac Street whilst Stan played the guitar bliss I wish I could have stayed there longer
