3 families, a party of 11 (6 adults & 5 children) spent a fabulous week in this stunning holiday home.
We rented both buildings & the property has everything you could wish for: fantastic kitchen (which had every kitchen essential families could need inc pots, pans, serving trays, mugs, glasses, knives, forks etc.); 3 lovely reception rooms to chill out in (a snug, a TV room (where the kids tended to ‘hang out’ when they weren’t in the pool) & a hall in the barn-wing of the property that could host a royal banquet!); 6 bedrooms that were all of a generous size & had plenty of storage places & easily enough bathrooms/ WCs.
Outside has plenty of car parking (we only had 3 cars but could easily fit 2 or 3) & amazing garden with beautiful flowers, plants and trees dotted all around. The owners have thought of many activities to do & kindly provided equipment. The garden had enough room to play rounders/cricket/football as well as the petanque (boules) area. You will find you have spectators, during whichever event you choose to play, as the cows in the neighbouring field watch on! There are bikes provided & a table tennis table situated near the large patio. The patio itself has a large gas BBQ & a large table easily able to accommodate all 11 of us for our group meals.
A must-visit is the local boulangerie in Dignac (with freshly baked all kinds of breads & pastries). Dignac also has a small shop & Pharmacy.
A little further away, but only about a 15 minute trip, is Villebois-Lavalette which has a large Super-U (with fuel-pumps) & large Pharmacy. Villebois-Lavalette also has a stunning Chateau on the hill and a quaint church nearby (well worth a visit)
The star of the show though is the swimming pool, we enjoyed excellent weather & the pool provided entertainment & relaxation in equal measure for young & old alike! With the diving board providing the main source of entertainment for 7 days! Again the owners provided numerous items such as balls, inflatables & goggles to be used in the pool & were much appreciated
The owners were extremely helpful from booking to arrival & I want to particularly thank Antonia for all her help during the past 12 months in making this a holiday to remember.
11 people (who had by-and-large known one another for 15 years) arrived at this stunning home on the 17th Aug‘19 all as close friends but left on the 24th Aug’19 as one big family.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home. We hope to return soon.
