About the host
Hosted by Tony Clark
We, Ann and Tony, bought the property in February 0f 2017. Previously Tony worked off shore when the oil prices were good and Ann was a practicing midwife. Our 4 sons have remained in the UK and visit often. Chez Freddie had been successfully ran as a gite for many years prior. Since moving over from the UK we have been busy revamping rooms and decor, adding a large family size BBQ and new pool and garden furniture. We brought our 3 small friendly dogs and 4 cats with us. That was a long journey ! We reside on site but are gated away from the rental property. Always here if you need us. Out of sight if you don't.
Why they chose this property
Chez Freddie has everything you will need for a family holiday plus much more. Our kitchen is fully equipped for 13 adults plus toddlers/babies. All rooms have en suite facilities. We have many garden games, board games, DVDs and books galore. TV is in French and English. WiFi is included in the package.
What makes this property unique
We also have a small rowing boat "Freddie" which you can take out along the Boutonne which runs past the orchard at the far end of the garden. Fishing equipment is available, the Boutonne being a grade A trout fishing river. Lots of cycle tracks in and around the area and further into the town of Chef Boutonne is a large fishing lake and camp site.
