We had an amazing stay here. I came with my mum and two dogs for just over a week and it was amazing. The house is down a very long drive, meaning you’re in the middle of nature. Lots of walks to do around the house and there’s a large lake that the dogs loved playing in. Richard and Elaine were lovely. They left an incredible welcome basket of food, drinks, cakes (everything you need for the first day or so) which we really appreciated after a long drive. They were great throughout the whole stay, if we needed anything (like advice on where to take day trips to) they couldn’t be more helpful, but we’re very respectful of our privacy when staying there. The house itself is amazing. Very nicely decorated and has everything you could possibly need. The pool area was the highlight - very spacious and large (even though unfortunately we picked a usual week of bad weather so didn’t use it as much as we hoped)! The area is great, lovely little villages nearby and only 10 mins to a larger town with huge supermarkets and shops. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back here, one of the best places we’ve stayed at in France by a mile. We had a fantastic time.
What a find! Richard could not have been a better host - great at responding to email, available via text during stay, met us to show the way but in no way intrusive during holiday. We have never had such a fantastic welcome pack - so thoughtful. If you are looking for real relaxation away from it all in an authentic, organic, rural setting - this is the place for you. Also easy drive to access shops, vet etc in Civray and Charroux. Really comfortable and plenty of space (as family of 4 with teenagers plus dog we didn’t need downstairs bedroom). Great to have games room in addition to pool. Well- equipped kitchen etc. Walks around property with our terrier were just beautiful - no way he was going to catch one of the hares! Hosts had even put out a paddling pool for the dog. Although main garden not fully enclosed, pool area obviously is, so easy to contain a pet. Plus there’s a gate on veranda and little space at rear and the lounge nice and cool. As previous guests have said, the west facing terrace is definitely a high point and we enjoyed a bit of boules etc on this front lawn too. Another bonus was bikes- good loop to Genouillé, Charroux and back through Asnois. We were just sorry we didn’t stay for 2 weeks.
Lovely spacious clean accommodation with everything you could possibly need provided. Completely private pool area with refreshing pool big enough to swim in. Kept very clean. No passing traffic so safe to let the dog roam. Beautiful array of butterflies fluttering past as you relax in the gardens. Deer ,frogs and owls seen in the evening. Richard always on hand to help if you need him. He leaves a fabulous welcome tray, very much appreciated. Would return in a heartbeat. The Charente is a lovely shady river to canoe in, just 20 mins away in Ruffec.
