Wonderful

Sabrina and Nicholas could not have been more helpful. We felt relaxed and comfortable from the moment we arrived. It was the perfect venue for holidaying with small children as the grounds were so safe. We could open the door in the morning and let them play, without fear. The pool was safely secured which was wonderful. We will definitely be booking again for Summer 2025.

Petite maison bien équipée. Le petit cadeau a l’arrivée a été très apprécié. Accueil très sympathique des propriétaires. Quelques précisions : il y a 2 toilettes dans la maison et 1 toilette dans la cabane près de la piscine. L’étage est mansardé donc mieux pour les enfants que pour les adultes. L’étage est un peu bruyant.
Le gîte est à 15mn de Saintes et 30 mn de Cognac.

Sabrina nous a accueillis avec des amis le temps d'un week-end pour un mariage qui se déroulait à proximité. Nous avons été conquis par le charme de la maison et notre hôte a été très aimable et arrangeante. La maison est propre, spacieuse et très bien équipée. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

Rural Charm
A very clean and well equipped property - everything we could possibly want was provided. The kitchen was particulaly well equipped, with fridge, freezer, micro-wave and dish washer, as well as hotplates and oven. Set on a quiet back road, privacy is ensured. The private parking and small children's play area, complete with slide and swing, were much appreciated. The owner welcomed us and was easily contactable. A slight problem wuith the pool cleaner was quickly rectified. The enormous outside table coped with 10 people easily and was much used, along with the barbecue. The children also appreciated the table tennis table in the garage. We enjoyed an excellent holiday (even if the sun stayed hidden!) - thank you.

What a fantastic holiday
The weather was hot, most of the time!! The gite is very beautiful, the pool was fantastic for adults and the children. A trip to La Rochelle + Royan is recommended and also Saintes where you can have a boat ride along the river, and is very historical. Thank you Francoise et Laurent
