The property was great, lots of room for a large group (there were 11 in total) and plenty of outdoor seating. It wasn't an issue that there were two separate properties and in reality it was more like one large property. The swimming pool was very nice and kept clean regularly by Mel and there were lots to do for the kids in addition to the swimming - games, hammocks, goals and lots of guinea pigs they were able to pet. The local area convenient in that there is a Super U very close and we used the Chez Tito pizza place for takeaway which was good quality. It was very hot while we were there (40 degrees) and even with the fans in each room the bedrooms were very hot at night as there is no A/C but a minor point overall and would recommend the property for a family holiday.

A really great holiday beyond expectations
Mel and Richard are great owners and hosts and we cannot speak highly enough of them. The check in was really welcoming and you felt that you had known both Mel and Richard in a former life. The two properties worked out really well for the eight of us. There was ample seating both inside and outside. The pool was brilliantly maintained by Mel each morning and those of our party who were up early enough each day were able to have great conversations while Mel did all the work! It was a joy to see the guinea-pigs roaming free and there were 7 additions to the family while we were there. Richard was really good involving the family with the guinea-pigs, chickens, duck and cockerel and had endless patience with us. This was a memorable holiday and we look forward to returning. In the meantime all that is left to say is a huge thank you to Mel and Richard from all our family. Andrew, Pamela, Amanda, Toby, Mark, Julie, Luke and Rosina

Très grande et agréable propriété pour 7 adultes et 7 ados
Commerces à 2-3kms (très pratique). Belle demeure en pierre, bien décorée avec de nombreux objets anciens. En cas de beau temps, très grand espace extérieur arboré permettant à chacun de s'isoler et, inversement de passer du temps ensemble (ping-pong, foot, jeux de raquettes, pétanque, fléchettes...). Très belle et grande piscine mais peu chauffée : 24° au mieux. Pas d'éclairage pour rester ou manger à l'extérieur le soir. Pas de table pour 14 à l'intérieur pour être ensemble (le soir ou par mauvais temps). Cuisine spacieuse bien équipée sauf pour cuisiner pour 14 (plats, faitouts,...). Chambres correctes mais lits en 190, avec bout de lit, pas pratique pour les personnes de 1m85 et+. Très peu de Wifi et de connexion mobile (comme dans beaucoup d'endroits isolés). Des petits plus à revoir, qui rendraient cette location incontournable et donneraient envie d'y revenir.

A beautiful setting, two very thoughtfully and lovingly converted properties.
We enjoyed our family holiday immensely. The accommodation set across two houses was fine for our group's sleeping arrangements. We did however, find that having two kitchens caused us some difficulties, especially when trying to cook meals for our large group. Although crockery and cutlery were plentiful and very good quality, saucepans and cooking pots were sadly not so plentiful for preparing large amounts of food. (We didn't make requests from the owners but used imaginitive methods to overcome this). The owners were very helpful and knowledgable about the local amenities and places of interest and accurate local weather reports!

We have fully renovated this property and hopefully,
this shows in the workmanship..It has been a labour of love, with lots of sweat, laughter and tears !!We live here in sunny west France all year and there is no going back. The house and surrounding countryside teams with wildlife, and every day is a complete pleasure, a stark contrast to the North east of Engand where we both grew up. We sitting out and playing Scrabble and watching the everyday wildlife that occurs in the grounds, there is nothing better than sitting out at night with a glass of wine looking at the stars with no light pollution, you often see the Milky way, and lots of shooting stars. On those really hot days we have hammocks for just chilling out reading or sleeping !! bliss

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal for relaxation, but close enough for all ameneties. No hills, so good for walking,cycling etc. There is lots of wildlife and birds in the area, as we are surrounded by countryside. There is Kayaking and Fishing lakes close at hand, as well as Crusader Churches,Chateaux ,golf nature reserves Vineyards etc..The whole property is spacious so ideal for family or friends who holiday together, with 3 acres of land, there is often football/cricket rounders matches taking place in the field. There are sun-loungers for everyone, alot of indoor and outdoor games available, and a grand collection of books and DVD,s. Only a 90 minute drive to the ocean at La Rochelle, and only 45 minutes from Niort with the Charente river, a large Chateau shops bars restaurants cinema etc, Angouleme , interesting architecture shops and history, and Poitiers lots of history, including battle fields, and the amazing theme park Futuroscope.There is so much to see and do, if you can tear yourseld away from the swimming pool !

What makes this property unique

Private pool.with safety childproof gate & fence..,lots of parking,outside space,.bbq hammocks etc. great for families and friends sharing, but having loads of space..lots of interesting things to do, horse riding, fishing kayaking , animal parks theme parks rivers, bikes can be hired easily, the roads are quiet and flat..Lots of rooms, some en-suite, lots of space outside 3 acres, where games can be played safely, no neighbours, lots of day trips within an hour or 2 drive.Local supermarket petrol station bistro pizzeria bars all within walking distance, we are rural, but so near the town for all your requirements.
