A testimonial for Jon The Carpet Man

 

"We have to say that the service and supply we have just received from Jon has been brilliant. He was very patient with us while we chose our cushion flooring a few weeks ago and also fitted in with our decorating etc to be able to come and fit the cushion flooring in our kitchen, office and washroom areas. He worked very hard and was extremely professional leaving us with a brilliant job done and we are very very pleased. We will definitely use Jon again in the future. Nigel" 1 July 2010

We received this testimonial from Madeleine Dickson this week for Mumford Toiture see their advert HERE

They have just finished repairing our roof, having kept us informed at all stages.(work was delayed due to the weather) and having arrived to do the work on the agreed dates! Excellent work at competitive prices - I can't sing their praises enough!" Madeleine Dickson 2nd March 2010

Goodness Pat has been busy, here is another satisfied customer for Pat at LINK

 

"Patricia Littlewood has been a bright light in what would have been a difficult if not impossible process, without her. Due to unforeseen circumstances we found ourselves in need of help from the French health system. It has been a  long process but with Patricia`s guidance we have been successful and full assistance has just been granted. She is currently helping us with another matter involving the French system and our fingers are crossed that with her help we will be equally successful. I recommend her services as she has made a big difference to our lives and what could have easily become an impossible nightmare." M & P (24270) 31January 2010

 


And yet another of our reader happy with the services of Pat Littlewood and her service called LINK based at St Yrieix la Perche

 

"I would just like to say a special thank you to Pat Littlewood of LINK who I phoned for advice. Although I was well out of her catchment area, she very kindly gave me some information over the phone. She also went "beyond the call of duty" when she found my number and called me back with additional information. This gesture was very much appreciated." Ann McGrane 30th January 2010

 


We placed an advert on our Events and Leisure Page for Mel Howe and within 2 hours of our Newsletter being sent out he had his first response, see his advert for Dog Racing

 

"Just to let you know how good the site is, by 2208hrs last  night we had our first response, not bad I reckon" Regards Mel 30th January 2010

A Testimonial this week for Alyson from Glow offering beauty services.

 

"I thought I would pamper myself last week and booked an appointment with Alyson from Glow to have eyebrow and eyelash tint. Brilliant, Alyson came to the house, set up her equipment and off we went. Very pleased with the result and have to say Alyson is very professional. Will definitely be using her again - regards C" 17 December 2009

 


And here is a testimonial for one of our advertisers STERLING SHOPPING

 

"I would like to put in another testimonial for Sterling, I can't believe the service they give it really is second to none, and what bugs me is the way people moan if they are late getting to their drop off point, who wouldn't be late sometimes after driving 800 miles across England & France, so next time they moan about late deliveries spare a thought for them, they always have our best interests at heart, & nothing is any trouble for them, keep up the good work guys, most of us appreciate what you do. Anita" 10 December 2009


We are always please to receive a Testimonial for one of our advertisers and here is one for Claire and Peter and their gite (see their advert here) in the Haute Vienne

 

"Just to let you know that we had a fantastic time in the Limousin at La Grange.  Claire and Peter were really lovely and made us so very welcome, as did the children, so much so that we spent 3 more nights with them on our way back north after spending 4 weeks in the Languedoc. It is a simply beautiful area and have seen some lovely properties,  we are just waiting to sell our house so that we can go back. Regards Gill Thomas" 23 November 2009

 


We advertise American Square Dancing Classes for Hilary Brayshaw at various locations (see here) and this is what they had to say about their advertising and response.

 

"ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS Many thanks, your super and a Very Merry Xmas to you all, I would say about 40% of people have joined through your advertising.

You are so very helpful and give so much of yourselves, that you inspire us to carry on with the same enthusiasm. Brilliant!! Thanks again Hilary" 23 November 2009


A further testimonial for Pat Littlewodd from Link - see www.link-styrieix.info  

 

"When we first arrived in France in mid June this year, there were many, many things we needed to set up and organise. But dealing with French administration when your French is more Franglaise is a nightmare. In particular we wanted to set up as AutoEntrepreneurs. One day we stumbled upon Patricia’s business card in a supermarket and we’ve not looked back. She responded quickly to our enquiry, visited us and went through thoroughly all that we needed to do to start the ball rolling. Here we both are just a few months later, fully fledged AE’s with an increasing client base (some direct referrals from Pat herself) and things are going well. We certainly could not have done this without Pat’s help and support, she is a gem! She’s also helped with several other things including registering a car bought here and getting utilities changed. Her rates are extremely reasonable, her service second to none and to boot she is a charming and very friendly lady. Thank you Pat!" Alison & Gary Coussac-Bonneval 16 October 2009

 


We advertised an event for Leeane and she was more than happy with the result!

 

"Hello, Firstly, enormous thanks for promoting our fundraising event. Many folk who came had seen your weekly newsletter.

Would it be at all possible to thank people via this weeks Dordogne-on-line? I have written a few lines below…if you have the space and think it appropriate, it would be wonderful, thank you.

On a very different note, we bought the bath you advertised last week for the McGrane’s, wonderful - it is huge!

**Ssafa Forces Help and Twilight’s (La Maison de Retraite pour Les Chiens) first ever joint fundraising event last Tuesday was a tremendous success. Event organisers, Leeanne and Michael, would like to thank everyone who helped, donated, sent good wishes and/or came on the day.

The afternoon was described as having ‘a wonderful atmosphere, like that of a traditional English fete’.

100+ people came, over €2000 was raised, with €904 coming from the auction of promises alone.

Special thanks must go to Yvonne and Mike for hosting the day, to all the energy and effort of the 20+ friends who helped make the event take shape, and to the list of professionals who gave auction promises…….including; Ash Building Services, Le Saint Pierre, Lynda Wilding, Sterling Shopping, Kennels at St Priest, Steve Baird (Plumber), PilatesLimousin, Glyn Dawson, Camping le Tourelet, Darren Luckhurst (Computing) and Hotel Berthet.

Finally, we couldn’t have done it without ‘Brighton Rocks’, two families who pooled their wonderful musical talents.

Thank you all….hope to see you next year!**

Hope this is OK. It was wonderful and we are overwhelmed at peoples generosity, be it in time, care and contributions various.

Many thanks,

Leeanne" 27th August 2009

 


A testimonial received today 10 August 2009 for Pat at Link

 

"Patricia Littlewood helped us sort out a boundary agreement with our French neighbour - she was most efficient and got us the result we needed very quickly, after we had spent two years trying to do it ourselves from a distance.  Very impressed with her service, and her ability to anticipate all eventualities so that it worked first time at the notaire.  A pleasure to work with someone who thinks the process through and pushes things on.  Will definitely use her services again."  Guy & Caroline 24630 August 2009
 


Colin Menaud from Sweet Chestnut Lakes placed a Wanted Advert with us and was very pleased by the outcome!

"Please could you take our 'Wanted' ad off the website. A very kind lady in St Yrieix La Perche, got in touch, she had a freezer surplus to her requirements, that she offered to us for just 15 Euros! We collected it, and now have the perfect storage for our frozen boilies (carp bait). Coincidentally, the shelves were just the right size to fit 8 x 2.5kg packs. So it is now crammed with 80kg's of the little round offerings! Thanks very much, another success story." Colin 7 July 2009 www.sweetchestnutlake.co.uk

Testimonial for one of our advertisers in the Classified Business section - Builders and Building Services - Martin Ash

 

"Having been involved in several large scale renovation projects in the Dordogne with several contractors, often with mixed results over the past five years I consider it my very good fortune to have come across Mr. M. Ash of Ash construction.
 
Martin ,of whom I had no previous knowledge, undertook a challenging project on my behalf which involved all aspects of general work, including  a new small build, timber floor replacement, plastering, tiling and the fitting of a new kitchen. I was delighted with the progress and more especially the quality of the end result.
 
Coming from a construction background myself , I set high standards for quality and industriousness which Martin invariably met or exceeded with his attention to detail, positive can do attitude and work ethic.
 
In the light of my experience I have no compunction in unreservedly recommending Mr. Ash to anyone considering employing him."
 
Neil J Welsh. Dordogne (20 April 2009)

It was a lucky day when we discovered you on “The Dordogne on line”. Have no doubt, we will be using your services in the future. Thanks again," Geoff Deabill & Kath Battelley Stansted Essex. (19 April 2009)

 


And yet another testimonial for Steve Pritchard

Many thanks." Hazel and Robin. (10 April 2009)

We just love it when we have helped people like Craig and his family!

"We are moving to Lesterps in May 2009 and even though we found our new home on this website, Dordogne on Line helped us with our search on all fronts. Without Dordogne on Lines help we would have been lost. Moving to France seemed to be minefield, but never fear, Dordogne on Line is here !. We can't wait to get to our new life and mix with all the people around us. If anyone we meet is 1% as helpful as Dordogne on Line, then we would have made a fantastic move. Thanks a lot." Craig, Angela and the rest of the Wharton family. (24 March 2009)

Thanks so much for your help - your website is now in my favourites as it has so much useful and interesting information in it.

Interestingly, the people who are storing the trailer are now advertising storage space for caravans etc, so we have obviously opened a door for them!! Margaret" 10 September 2007

Another satisfied customer we are please to say

 

'Hi - Just to let you know that I have now found two farriers (one via your website) so no longer need the ad you kindly posted for me.  It was under the Equestrian section and was asking for information on any farriers available in the Thiviers area. Thanks for your help and just wanted to let you know that the site is VERY useful. Kind regards, Katie Clark - 17 August 2007'

Linda contacted us last week looking for a translator and then sent us the email below -

 

'Hi
I would like to recommend the SOS Linguistic Sevice advertised on your site.
As you know, we were let down at the last minute by our interpreter for our property sale. Being August it was proving impossible to find a replacement. Dordogne on Line tried very hard to help when desperation set in, so thank you.
I had left a message on SOS's answer phone at the weekend and got a response on Monday. Janice promised to be there for us on Wednesday and she was. We had to wait much longer for the Acte de Vente to complete, than we had anticipated, as the Notary managed to be running very late. Janice was there for us to the end, had to arrange for someone else to pick up her children as she was so late,  and remained cheerful and helpful  throughout.
The fees are also very reasonable and Janice was embarrassed that she had to ask for a little more than stated, as the one hours work had turned into 3 hours. My buyers in fact insisted she took more than she asked for.
So I would like to thank Janice and commend her service. I would also like to commend these wonderful websites for finding SOS linguistic services for us and any others in need of interpreters.
Please do publish this for others to see.
Many thanks

Glen agreed to advertise his property (Ref FOL/LL/195) for long term rental with us a couple of months ago, it was viewed before we had time to advertise it for him by one of our registered clients who was searching for a house to rent, and is now rented for the next 6 months.

 

"We have now let Brumas and have a signed contract commencing on the 1st July 07 for 6 months, thanks for your services which have helped us to achieve this in a very short time." Glen Sumner 18 June 2007


We communicated with Paula and her husband before and during their move to France and Paula has kindly let us know how they sorted out starting their own business and registering for health care with MSA Mutual Societe Agrigole - click here for a brief overview. If anyone would like to talk to Paula she would be happy to communicate with others and give the benefit of their experiences.

'Thank you for your help and if you hear of anyone in the same situation please do not hesitate to contact me as it is quite a daunting thing to go through especially if your French is not all that good - 29 April 2007'

As it turned out, we have ended up renting a property from friends of our current landlord - only 500 metres down the road from our winter rental. A very lucky coincidence!

'Just wanted to let you know how great we find your web pages.  Our social life has increased by attending many of the events you advertise (we have even been on a sausage and pork pie making course, which was great fun).  Without these web pages we would have been unaware of what was happening in our region.
 
We have advertised in the Classified section and sold our bikes within one day and an ad in the Wanted section also came up trumps within a week.
 
Many thanks and keep up the good work!'

'We own and run busy holiday letting business with two large properties and have advertised with Dordogne on Line for some time now. The site is very well presented and managed and offers a lot more than booking holidays. We have always had good responses for both summer holidays and long winter lets. We  are fully booked from now (March 2007) through to the 1st July 2008. Most of these bookings have come through Dordogne on Line and we are delighted. The Wanted section is particularly useful. We have kept a regular check on this and found several clients - especially long lets. The regular newsletter is another good feature and is very helpful.'

Jen and Brian have advertised with us since 2005 and have achieved 3 long term lets for their property in the Dordogne

See reference FOL/LL/1

 

'Love your new events pages and venues ads.  We have actually started getting out and about more because of  your new pages. All the best, Jen & Brian'
