We are a family of 4 with 2 daughters, aged 6 & 10. We’ve just returned from a lovely week at La Mirabelle. The gite is very well equipped and nicely furnished. The outside space is great for catching all the sun, with 3 different places to sit; a bbq area for evening sunshine, a picnic table and comfortable garden seats on a gravel terrace, not to mention a huge field to run around in. We used the pool ( shared with the main house guests) games room and the trampoline, we also played badminton and the girls loved the chickens, cats, and blackberry picking. It’s a very sleepy, rural location with lots of country lanes and hamlets, we would have been completely lost without a satnav. Our favourite location was Chateauneuf-sur-Charente which has a beach on the river, kayaking and a nice food truck. Our hosts Olive and Charlie were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. We have returned home thoroughly relaxed and chilled out.
