Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ian or Moira Kitchin

Hello we are Moira, Ian and Isi. We currently live in the U.K. but plan to move to France on a more permanent basis in the future, but still renting out the main house. We originally bought the house with a plan to move immediately but work prevented us from doing this at that point.
Why they chose this property
The house is a lovely old manor house which has now been fully renovated and provides excellent accommodation for large families or groups wishing to enjoy a wonderfully holiday together. All the bedrooms have en-suite facilities and we have installed a ground floor bathroom which has bath, perfect for smaller children or for aching bones after a long walk, bike ride or canoe trip.
There is lots of space for families to enjoy all types of activities within the 7.5 acre grounds and it close enough to walk to and or from the local villages of St Antoine Cumond and Aubeterre-Sur-Dronne which have restaurants and bars.

What makes this property unique
The rear garden borders the river Dronne, providing access for river swimming, canoeing or fishing, (although a local fishing licence is necessary and can be purchased in the village). The front garden is fully enclosed, perfect for smaller children or pets. There is ample outside dining space both in the front garden or the rear overlooking the river. We have had wonderful evenings dining outside under the trees overlooking the river with lanterns to provide lovely ambient lighting. There is very little, if any, light pollution at night and so sitting outside gazing at the night sky, seeing the shooting stars and milky way, on a clear night with a glass of local wine is an excellent way to end the evening.
