Guest comments
In 2008 our family of 8 enjoyed a fantastic holiday at Maison Poirier. The property is set in a pretty and peaceful rural setting near Saintes and Cognac.
The cottage exceeded all our expectations - the cottage was both comfortable and spacious with great outside space for all the family. We were particularly pleased at the size of the garden where the children could run around and let off steam.
The pool area was very safe and secure.
I would recommend this property highly and we will most definitely be returning.
We arrived, what a great welcome and wonderful gite, the space and layout was perfect and bigger than expected for our group of six. The pool was wonderful, great size and the summer house what can I say the girls liked to chill there, I stayed there out of the sun but was still part of the fun, and a great place to eat alfresco. The games room was a bonus a was a was used by all the family including the bikes.
Thank you again for a wonderful holiday!

About the owner
We first came to France when my parents bought a property in Brittany, and soon fell in love with the easy lifestyle, endless summer sun, stunning countryside and of course the food. Now myself and my family have moved here permanently (five years ago) to enjoy the best of what this beautiful region has to offer.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
After searching long and hard in the Charente, we finally settled on this area for many reasons: The beauty of the countryside with endless vineyards and fields of golden sunflowers. Knowing that we were only 50 mins from some of the best beaches in Europe. The strong attraction of historic towns such as Saintes and Cognac and the stunning port of La Rochelle. The variety of attractions for children such as zoos, aquariums, water parks and hopping over to the islands of Isle de Re and Isle D'Oleron. Being amongst such amazing gastronomy, markets and wonderful seafood!
