Notes
- A croquet set, boules, table tennis sets, bar football balls range of games and children's toys are available. So are tennis rackets, though very serious players will need to bring their own, since those we have are okay for knocking about and informal games, but not much more. If you are lucky you will find tennis balls there, but you should reckon on bringing or buying your own. The house and environment are very child friendly -- no traffic and facilities for children of all ages -- over the years we have built up quite a collection of toys etc. And some children seem to spend all day on the swings, which can be a constant source of delight.

Great Family Holiday at La Nique
As described in email sent direct to property owners on 4th July.
Wonderful house and garden
We had a fantastic week at La Nique, we spent most of our time in the wonderful gardens or exploring the surrounding countryside. The owners clearly love nature and the outdoors, this property has everything from wildlife to clear skies for star-gazing. Inside it has everything required for a comfortable stay.
Fabulous villa and setting in the heart of this part of France. Very happy to recommend it.
Everything about our stay was excellent. The house is well equipped and spacious, and cool during the summer nights. Situated in a rural setting it provided significant privacy to relax and enjoy rural France. Whilst we were not looking for a tennis court this became an added bonus for us and early morning games became essential. The pool is an excellent size and our girls spent many hours in it! The house is well placed for access to the local villages and Marmande further afield. The latter has big supermarkets and other useful stores. There is also excellent cycling to be had on the local roads. We found a good selection of circular routes and away from the traffic. The owner was very quick to respond to questions and requests. Many thanks.
wonderful house and garden, a French oasis
It is a great house for 2 families to share. There is so much to do at La Nique (swimming, tennis, ping pong, table football, croquet ..), it is tempting not to do much else! We enjoyed the nearby lake, markets etc. The house is very well equipped. We loved it,.
Lovely, relaxing holiday at a beautiful villa
My wife and I had a week's relaxing holiday with our 2 dogs here and were so pleased we booked this. The villa is beautiful with all the mod cons. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of bedrooms to choose from. The pool was just the right temperature with plenty of land surrounding it all and a tennis court! This was all set in the beautiful French countryside. You literally hear nothing!
The local village is a 5 min drive away where you can get supplies and of course your morning baguettes but for a larger shop Marmande has a large Carrefour that caters for everything and is only 15 min drive away.
Highly recommended and look forward to coming back again.
Map
16 Kms south of Marmande, and 80 kms south east of Bordeaux, the nearest village is Cocumont, which has shops, bank, cafe, garage and wine cooperative. la Nique is about 3 kms away from the village. In the peaceful countryside - farmland and woods - and very private. There are no houses to overlook you and days can pass without seeing a car or another person, if that is what you would like. Yet just 5 minutes drive from the village 15 minutes from Marmande, and 20 minutes from the motorway.
