Traditional gite; and Jan and Nigel have supplied it with everything you could possibly need. Great pool and the boys loved having the inflatables and games on hand.
Amazing place to stay! Nigel and Jan( and Luka) gave us a huge welcome and were on hand if we needed anything. Never been made to feel so welcome with food for a meal and drinks to say hello.The house is very comfortable and is equipped with everything it needs. Never slept so well! The pool area is beautiful with comfy loungers and a pool hut with the outdoor fridge! There is lots to do in the area if you fancy going out or you can laze around the pool. The house is in a beautiful quiet area and yet just a short walk to local village for bread or a drink /meal in the pub. Can’t recommend this place enough. We would love to return. Thank you John family for a lovely holiday.

Thank you for your lovely comments - you were the most perfect guests and we thorougly enjoyed having you here, hope to see you again love to all especially Iain
Chez John is a beautiful gite with a secluded garden and a great heated swimming pool. Each area of the gite is amazingly equipped with everything that you would need.
Nigel and Jan are the most beautiful hosts - there to help you in anyway they can. We really appreciated their hospitality and they produced a welcome basket the like of which we have never seen in the 10 years that we have visited France. They also invited us to a village barbeque which was a delightful French experience which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
We had a fabulous stay and enjoyed every minute and were sad to come home.
We can only highly recommend Chez John as a very fabulous place to stay and Nigel and Jan as the very best hosts.
We really hope to return one day.

Len and Sian are an incredible couple and their son Justin (also known as Rat bag) was an absolute delight especially when hearing him teach his mum to swim and playing football with our Border collie. I do hope they come again as they are an inspirational family for a whole raft of reasons.
Nous avons été merveilleusement reçus par Nigel et Janis, délicieux couple britannique extrêmement accueillant et très à l'écoute du moindre besoin, de la plus insignifiante demande. Autant dire que notre séjour a été vécu comme un rêve. Le gite est incroyable : une maison spacieuse décorée avec beaucoup de gout, chaleureuse et équipée au delà de nos attentes.La piscine ? merveilleuse, chauffée, bien conçue, au milieu des arbres et de la nature.Le cadre, on en parle ? des promenades tout autour du gites, nous nous rendions souvent aux lacs et étangs nombreux aux alentours, dans une nature boisée, et verdoyante. C'est le cadre parfait pour se ressourcer, même quelques jours suffisent pour recharger ses batteries.Nous sommes arrivés le soir, et délicate attention que nous avons beaucoup apprécié, Nigel et Janis avaient préparé à notre intention un panier-repas copieux dans le réfrigérateur et de la glace à la vanille et cela incluait aussi des viennoiseries pour le petit-déjeuner du lendemain matin, inutile donc de courir en acheter au boulanger du village, peut être fermé à l'occasion !Ils nous ont dans la foulée invités à l'apéro le soir même!Leur adorable chien Luca, a aussi accueilli avec beaucoup de bienveillance son "cousin" notre colley Pouchkine, ce qui a beaucoup participé à notre bonheur !Un énorme merci pour ces soirées partagées autour d'un barbecue et de rires échangés !Un séjour (trop)court pour nous, mais nous comptons bien revenir rapidement !

Nous apprécions toujours la compagnie de nos hôtes et leur offrons toute l'attention qu'ils recherchent. Avec Malik, Lola et Pushkin, le contact a été immédiat et nous avons passé deux soirées inoubliables en leur compagnie. Le plus spécial, c'est qu'à leur départ, on n'aurait jamais deviné qu'ils étaient accompagnés d'un chien à poil long ; ils ont laissé le gîte impeccable.
Nous espérons vivement que nos nouveaux amis reviendront.
We had a fantastic time at Chez John! The pool was amazing, the property was brilliantly equipped and our hosts, Nigel and Jan could not have done more to make sure we felt welcome and had a relaxing break. The property is effectively 'a semi' but Nigel and Jan sensitively balanced maintaining our privacy to enjoy their wonderful gite, garden and pool with being on hand to help in anyway we needed. We all, including our teenage boys, had a wonderful time with many happy memories. Thank you.
Super location avec hôtes très accueillants merci Nigel et Janice
Super location avec hôtes très accueillants, nous avons beaucoup apprécié le pack de bienvenue et tout est prévu dans la maison. La piscine est aussi très agréable 😀
Merci à Nigel et Janice
Excellent séjour malgré une météo plus automnale qu'estivale . Nos hôtes ont été adorables et très attentionnés . Nous avons pu faire de nombreuses randonnées et profiter de la piscine chauffée !!
Nous avons été trés bien accueillis par des hôtes charmants dans une belle maison au calme, proche de la nature.
Nous disposions de tout le nécessaire et d'une piscine chauffée avec transats, parasols et jeux d'eau .
La région est magnifique boisée avec de nombreux étangs pour certains aménagés
Merci beaucoup à nos hôtes .
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par les propriétaires, qui habitent la maison voisine et restent très discrets. Petite maison située au calme en pleine campagne, pour des vacances en famille. Belle piscine privée réservée aux locataires.
Nigel en Jan hebben zich als uitstekende gastheer en gastvrouw opgesteld. In het huisje was echt alles aanwezig. Bij aankomst was de koelkast zelfs gevuld! Zelf aan de hond was gedacht met hondensnoepjes. Mooie en rustige omgeving. Heerlijk zwembad. Als je van natuur en rust houdt is dit een ideale plek. Nigel en Jan zijn je
In alles behulpzaam, maar op een leuke en ongedwongen manier. Aanrader!
Nigel and Jan couldn’t have been more welcoming, we got a little lost quite close to the Gite, so rang Nigel who came and found us. We were invited to their side for welcome drinks and had a lovely chat which was informative. We spent a lot of time around the pool which was heated and had a good amount of inflatables which reverted us all back to childhood ! As well as a fridge in the beach hut very useful and used a lot in the heat. There were some pretty towns and villages around the area and most places were drivable within between 10-30 minutes Brantome which was only about 30-40 minutes was beautiful with its weirs, shops and bars/restaurants and also has a great market. Nigel and Jan took us to the local Farmers market which had live music and BBQ and there are lots of other local markets to visit. Our dog Tigger made great friends with Nigel and Jan’s dog Zeyna and they had daily play times enjoyed by all, Nigel helped by making the Vets appointment for us and drove me there as well which was great. All in all I think Nigel and Jan were fantastic hosts they thought of everything we needed including supplying Wine soft drinks beer and plenty of food for our first evening with dessert ! It was delicious, we also had a trip to the local bar which was a 15 minute walk away. Mostly we relaxed by the pool and enjoyed eating and drinking under the gazebo outside the Gite when it was very hot, we did a BBQ and invited our hosts which was a very enjoyable and fun evening. All in all a great holiday with great hosts who thought of everything.
Louise, Michael, Rob, Dolly and Tigger.
