Maisonbleau Now Closed
April 15, 2016, 11:37:14 am
Anyone know what has happened to Maisonbleau? I sent them an enquiry a few days ago, didn't receive a reply and since then the website has been down. I tried their facebook page without response and I even PM'd NeilH on here and have not heard anything. Has it closed down?

I sincerely hope not as I'm currently packing my bags, and checking in tomorrow!

I think I can say this as he's made it public knowledge on his Facebook (someone shout at me if I'm out of order), but it does like Neil has had some personal trouble, and has left France.

Unknown what's happening with the Gite.

You'd best look into this asap. A few friends have had their stay (due to start tomorrow) cancelled with a full refund offered.

Oh that sucks, obviously sounds serious, but hope nothing too bad. Was there in Feb and it was amazing, was planning on returning for sure.

Due to personal circumstances i won't go into, Neil is no longer 'doing' Maison Bleau. Not sure if bookings are being honoured. Hopefully Neil will see this and will explain more. I've dropped him a message about it on FB.

Just spoke to Neil and he apologises but bookings sadly aren't being honoured at moment. No bookings being taken either.

He has forgotten his username and password for here or he would have posted something himself.

I'd have thought you'll be fine - one of the final years of the Cuvier bivi site I went with some mates (and non-climber girlfriend at the time!) who decided the camping was a bit too real for them.


We rocked up at the Gite De France office in Font in person on day 2 and they hooked us up with a lovely place out Nemours way.


Other than that Mike, I've just come back from a long weekend staying in one of the mobile homes at the Courtilles De Lido site in Moret. Basic / compact, has separate bedrooms, hot shower, cooking / cleaning facilities etc and pretty good a value for money.


Depending how many of you there are / how good friends you are and want to continue being (there is little in the way of sound insulation!) you could grab one or more:

http://www.les-courtilles-du-lido.fr/en/mobile-home/


There were a good few free a couple of weekends back so you might be in luck if you turn up on-spec. The site also has a mini-golf course too, which was very enjoyable for some stereotypical stoic Englishmen-playing-in-driving-rain fun while we were there!

Of the three of us I was definitely not the favourite...my best mate is one of those annoying people who's good at everything - he crushed his project at Isatis day 1 and then smashed us all at mini-golf on day 2 by about 10 shots!

We stayed in one of the bungalows there. Wrap up warm...
Every surface in there is dry wipe so ideal for cum heavy sex orgies.

Footwork wiped the floor with us at the mini golf.

Blimey, that's pretty bad that guests weren't contacted. I know personal stuff happens and all that... Hope you get something sorted Mike and it's not a ruined holiday.

I do hope you mentioned that on your tripadvisor review..

That's pretty weak.

Thankfully we are sorted out, and enjoying our time in Font.

The situation regards Maisonbleau is complicated, and I won't be discussing it on an Internet forum, it's not my place to do so.

Nine years as a member and he's forgotten his username, chinny reckon.

Yeah you'd think remembering your username is neil h wouldn't be that hard when your first name is in fact neil and your surname begins with the letter h

Oh come on, i use a wide variety of different usernames. None of which are Adam L. So why should Neil think it might be Neil H.

Give the guy a break, none of you know the reasons behind all this situation, so cut him some slack.

Really? How many usernames in this thread are actually you? Are you Dense/Lagers/Sloper?
I suspect a UKC database voting scam.
