Charming Period House With Private Heated Pool Nr St Jean D'angely, Charente

Fantastic rural location, the house is full of character and the swimming pool was great and enjoyed by all the family. Would definitely recommend to others...

What a beautiful and spacious house! Everything you need is there. Paul and Jayne are very welcoming and always available for questions. Everything was very clean. Nice beds made on arrival, plenty of towels. Wonderful pool, which provided cooling on hot days. For those who do not like to sit in the sun, there is plenty of shade in the beautiful spacious garden. Quiet location but at 4km there is a bakery and at 15 km there are several department stores where you can find everything. St Jean d'Angély is a very nice town with good restaurants and a beautiful market on Wednesday and Saturday. We would definitely go back.

This is a beautiful place! Peter and Jayne are outstanding hosts, who had regular conversations with us, ensuring we had all we needed for our holiday. They kindly left a lovely basket of goodies which were very much appreciated by us all. With 4 good size bedrooms, there is plenty of space for a family, beds are soft and comfortable, and bathrooms more than enough for the accommodation. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with everything you could need, and the living area is very spacious. The house is beautifully maintained as well as the gardens, and the heated pool is an absolute joy to have. We had nothing to do but enjoy it, and had the pleasure of seeing our granddaughter learn to swim. If we could give 10 stars we would, and highly recommend this property. Already hoping for a return trip ourselves!

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this beautiful property, everything was just as good as we’d hoped and with the fantastic weather we really couldn’t have asked for more. Check in process etc was all seamless and very helpful instructions left to help us using the appliances. Thank you Jayne and Paul!

Lovely and charming property in a remote and rural location. A car is a must with easy access to lots of interesting places....a welcome, peaceful retreat after some busy days! Pool was a lovely addition and the hosts were super responsive! Both the adults and kids had a lovely stay and the weather was great too, not that this can be controlled by the hosts :) but it meant we got the full benefit of the garden and pool.

Nous avons passé deux merveilleuses semaines dans cette belle maison, très bien meublée avec beaucoup de goût, la vaisselle en harmonie et de qualité. Nous louons chaque année mais c’est le numéro 1 de nos locations 👍?. La piscine est agréable et le coin repos sous les arbres un vrai bonheur ... Bref le rêve !!!! Un seul petit bémol : la demeure est un bien appartenant à des britanniques, louée plus souvent à des britanniques et il y a une grande quantité de Livres et de dvd ... en anglais... ce qui est gênant quand on vient avec de jeunes enfants. Le lecteur dvd n’est pas une télé mais je dois dire que cela n’a manqué à personne et que nous avons passé de très belles vacances ... et nous reviendrons certainement. Les échanges que j’ai pu avoir avec les propriétaires ont été chaleureux et cordiaux. Donc une note de 25 sur 20 !!!!!!!

Upon arrival, we were blown away by the beautiful house and its Charente surroundings. The house itself, is tastefully decorated to a high standard without losing any originality on its period charms. We all felt instanlty at home and very quickley, we were relaxed, sitting by the pool enjoying a glass of wine for the adults and juice for the children. The children indulged themselves playing in the pool for most of the day while we adults were able to keep a keen eye, eat and have fun too. The location is so peaceful and we all took time under the stunning cherry tree mid day, reading our books, listening to the local church bells, chime the time. The evenings were mostly spent at the house but we did venture to La Rochelle and other gorgeous local towns where the restaurants and local shops were just fab!! We are booking again next year and making this a regualr annual peace of paradise!!

This is is the second time my husband, daughter and I have stayed at this beautiful property and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Set within a picturesque location and a stones throw away from breathtaking sunflower fields you could not ask for more pleasing, tranquil and relaxing surroundings. The house itself as well as being beautiful, is spacious, well maintained, clean and has excellent facilities. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas with many wonderful sandy beaches and lively towns within a 30 minute drive from the house. Our personal favourite towns and beaches to visit are situated in Royan, La Rochelle and Ile de Re. However, we would spend many a day at the house as it has everything you need and is such a lovely place to relax and enjoy your precious holiday time. We particularly love the luxury of having our own pool which is large and well maintained and kept our daughter entertained for hours on end! The customer service we received from the owner was second to none and nothing was to much trouble. We cannot recommend this property enough and are planning our visit for next year already!
