Family friendly getaway

We hade a wonderful stay, absolutely beautiful garden with lots of games (our kids enjoyed snooker, table tennis, boule and biking) and a lovely pool area. The countryside had many tracks for running and biking. Tim and Ellen were great hosts that really made us feel most welcomed and we warmly recommend this getaway.

Green, peaceful, authentic

Lovely cottages with an enormous garden and playground, clean waterpool. Very peaceful area, almost sad to see so few villagers left. Tim and Ellen are lovely, helpful and discreet. The spring mattresses on the beds in La Vielle Maison were a bit too hard for me, but that is a question of personal preferences. Thank you for a peaceful stay, Tim and Ellen! Enjoy you green paradise!

Time and Ellen were lovely from the moment we arrived, made us feel welcome. The property was lovely and clean and in a beautiful quiet setting, very relaxing. This was the first time travelling in this area of France with a car, the booklet left for us was helpful. We brought our teenage children with us, they really enjoyed the experience.Use of the pool was great and clean, we had this to ourselves for a few days which we utilised. We want to thank Tim and Ellen, for being so hospitable, kind and welcoming whilst not encroaching on our holiday. Thanks again and hope to see you both again. x

Excellent séjour au calme

Toute la famille a adoré le séjour. Le logement est agréable et tout est mis à disposition pour passer de bons moments : piscine, grand terrain, trampoline, billard, baby-foot.. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et charmants. Des promenades sympa à faire dans ce joli petit village, des visites intéressantes à programmer dans ce département méconnu et quelques spécialités culinaires à découvrir... Si vous rêvez de passer des vacances loin de l'agitation, c'est le lieu parfait !

Superbe séjour dans les Deux-sèvres.

Nous avons loué pour une semaine le gîte de La vieille maison, très heureux de ce choix, nous avons passé de superbes moments en famille. Le gîte est grand, charmant et très fonctionnel, il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de bonnes vacances. Les hôtes Tim et Ellen sont très accueillants, gentils et discrets. Une multitudes d'activités est possible sur place, les enfants ne peuvent pas s'ennuyer ! La piscine, trampoline, baby foot, billard, fléchettes, croquet, badminton, foot.... Le tout sur une magnifique propriété, parfaitement entretenue, arborée et fleurie. Pleins de belles visites et activités à faire aux alentours. Pour des vacances à la campagne, dans le calme et la sérénité n'hésitez plus !! Nous, on aurait bien passé une semaine de plus.

Perfect family holiday!

We have just returned from a glorious 2 weeks at Les Hiboux with our 2 sons aged 5 and almost 2. It has been by far the most relaxing family holiday we have had. We stayed in La Vieille Maison which was very comfortable, well equipped and had lots of space. But the real success of Les Hiboux is the huge gardens and all the facilities for the children - the big sunken trampoline, the climbing frame, tree house, petanque area, fish pond (securely fenced off & gated) and of course the fabulous pool. And our little one was beyond excited by the sheep! The gardens are extensive and safe so we could let our older one roam and play without having to watch him every minute of the day and there were plenty of children around so he was never short of a playmate. In fact it was so relaxing and they were having so much fun that it was 9 days before we actually made it out on any trips anywhere! There's a European zoo not too far away with racoons, porcupines and lynxes which as a fun day out and we went to Ile de Re which has some lovely beaches. But the rest of the 2 weeks was just spent lounging around the gardens and pool and having a wonderful time there. Tim & Ellen were very friendly and welcoming and very helpful with any requests we had. And anything ion the house that needed attention (e.g. our parasol blew over and broke its holder) was dealt with as soon as we asked. We have loved Les Hiboux so much that we are already booking our return visit next year!
