We had a fantastic 12 nts as a family and highly recommend it! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained and very well thought out. Declan has done a brilliant job of making it feel like a real home, while providing everything you could possibly need for your holiday, and always speedy communication! The attention to detail was exceptional, from the fully equipped kitchen—perfect for cooking family meals, to the wall of books, which I worked my way through during our stay. The mezzanine area upstairs was a real hit with our kids, their own TV and gaming space! The swimming pool was massive!, clean and well maintained by lovely Jean Pierre, plenty of loungers, chairs and parasols. The only, very minor issue was the ants outside, but it's easily managed by clearing away crumbs and wiping the table after meals, it really isn't a problem. The location is just as impressive as the house. Everything you need, just short walk away, including a lovely boulangerie, boucherie and the local co-op. The village itself is charming and everyone we met was very friendly. The port, a few minutes away, has some nice restaurants. Nearby beaches are well worth exploring. We liked Royan but our favourite, by far, was Plage des Nonnes. Finally, the property is conveniently located for both La Rochelle and Bordeaux Airports. This is one of the best holiday properties we've stayed in. A beautiful house in a wonderful location, we'd happily return. Thanks Declan!
