Charmant gîte en pierre avec piscine privée. Évadez-vous à la campagne française.

Our family stayed here for four nights and it exceeded every expectation. If anything, the photos and description don’t do it justice – it’s even more beautiful in person.From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. Ernest had thoughtfully prepared a generous welcome basket and was a fantastic host throughout our stay. He was always responsive, genuinely kind, and it’s clear he takes enormous pride in his property. Everything was absolutely immaculate.The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need, including so many thoughtful extras you don’t realise you’ll appreciate until they’re there. The luxurious toiletries, pool towels, and even plenty of toilet rolls made it feel more like staying in a boutique hotel than a self-catering holiday home.The pool was outstanding and the peaceful grounds made it so easy to relax and unwind. The barn was another brilliant space, giving us even more room to enjoy our time together. We travelled with our two teenage daughters, who were delighted with the excellent WiFi, pool table and table football, so there was something for everyone.This is one of the best holiday rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful, comfortable, peaceful and exceptionally well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

This property was fantastic, and Ernest was an excellent host.There were four of us staying, with ages ranging from 13 to 86, and it suited everyone perfectly. The house was incredibly spacious, both inside and out, so there was plenty of room for everyone to relax.The property was extremely well equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Having a washing machine was especially useful, and the BBQ was perfect for enjoying meals outside. It was also a lovely touch that both bath towels and pool towels were provided, so there was no need to pack extra.We loved how peaceful and secluded it was, which was exactly what we were looking for, yet it was still only a 10-minute drive to the nearest supermarket.The pool table, foosball table, and swimming pool were all great additions. The pool was perfect for a refreshing swim, and the games kept my teenager entertained throughout our stay.There is also a canoeing centre around a 10-minute drive away, which was a great local activity and well worth a visit if you're looking for something to do nearby.We had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Wonderful property, highly recommend! Peaceful and beautiful location, lovely swimming pool and lots of outdoor space with great barn (table football popular with the children!) and a good BBQ.Ernest the host was very kind and helpful.Thank you - we will be back!

The host was great at communicating throughout the booking process and through our stay. Ernest met us at the property and was extremely helpful and kind. The property has everythingu you need and is in a fantastic location. It’s close to lots of lovely towns and is lovely and quiet. We brought our baby and dog with us, there was a lot to do and they had a lovely stay! Thank you for a memorable family holiday!

Ernest was the perfect host .Nothing was too much trouble. I have never stayed anywhere with such a well equipped kitchen.

Idyllic location and great amenities for our family (older teenagers). Plenty to do with pool table and table tennis and fantastic large garden and swimming pool. Thank you Claire for booking restaurant and being the perfect host.

A great peaceful location with wonderful hosts, a superb pool & plenty of space. We’ll be back.

What an amazing property. Set in fabulously spacious grounds, with loads of room for the children to run around. The house is well equipped with everything you need, a great games room with a pool table which kept us entertained for hours, plus a table tennis table, badminton and a huge swimming pool. The surrounding area is so peaceful so sitting outside with a coffee, glass of wine or beer was bliss. Also I recommend sitting outside when the sun has gone down as their is no light pollution so the sky looks stunning, lit up by just the stars! There are lots of great villages nearby and I recommend a visit to nearby Tusson and finding a little cafe called Gatteux which is owned by a lovely Scottish lady. In the words of my children “ her baking is the best!” 🤣 Claire, the owner, was so friendly as were Mandy and Tony who were there to greet us with the keys and show us around, they made us feel at home as soon as we arrived! Thankyou again for a fantastic break we all had a great break and have to say that none of us wanted to come home! Xxxx

The booking process was very easy and the owner Claire was very responsive, as was her local manager Tony. The photographs undersell the house - it works really well for 6 adults and is a very pleasant holiday home with a huge garden and lovely pool. Pool was refreshing as unheated, but very welcome in the hot weather. Lots of rural and riverside villages to visit, local water sports, etc. Seaside at Royan 90 minutes away and very pretty. Recommended.

I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a very relaxing holiday with its own private pool. The house was very big and ideal for our family of 6. Whilst we chose to have a relaxing holiday with only one trip out (Oradour-sur-Glane, the martyred village), there are other places of interest to visit. A 5-minute drive away in the town of Ruffec we had access to a Lidl and next door was a huge L'Eclerc hypermarket, perfect for all your self catering needs. We were an all adult family but I would love to take my two granddaughters to this place, they would have loved the massive garden in addition to the pool. The local sunflower fields were very impressive and gave great photo opportunities. The property is well maintained and very attractive. Eating breakfast on the patio every morning was idyllic and I wish I was still there. We drove from the UK, this was a budget holiday for us, staying in a hotel in the south of the UK for an early departure by the Euro Tunnel the next morning, we headed on the N10 for the majority of the journey to Chez Branger and next stop Les Adjots. We also went toll free, the journey should have taken us 8 hours which it did on the return journey to Arques. All in all, I would highly recommend this property, a bargain!! The host Claire was most welcoming and communications were excellent. Thank you Claire. Mel, Sheffield, UK.
