Gite avec piscine et court de tennis. Wifi gratuit. Parfait pour les familles

A truly lovely home to stay in. We were a group of two adults and five children and it suited us down to the ground. The pool was literally metres from the house with the tennis court a little further. We had the pool to ourselves 99% of the time as the other home owners on the site were either not there or spent little time in it. The home itself is well proportioned with plenty of space. The downstairs has an open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge with two bedrooms (one double and one twin), bathroom and the laundry room off. The bedrooms have plenty of room with the double having a large wardrobe and the twin a large chest of drawers. The floor is all tiled downstairs and the upstairs has wooden floors. Upstairs there is a lovely galleried landing which overlooks the dining area and off this is another bathroom and two bedrooms (one double, one twin again). Will has tried to think of everything you might need. The kitchen is very well equipped, plenty of utensils, plates, cups etc. There are plenty of tennis rackets and balls plus games, bikes, DVDs, books and information leaflets. The wifi is good, and withstood all of us using it at the same time pretty well. We took our Firestick to watch Netflix on as suggested by Will but there is also English Freeview channels through the Sky box. The house is on a hill which gave us some very welcome breeze when it was too hot but also gave us some fantastic views. It also dried the clothes I hung on the most picturesque washing line just behind the swimming pool very quickly! Although Will was not there in person he kept in touch via email to make sure everything was OK which was appreciated, answering any questions or queries. We met some of the other home owners who were all very helpful and friendly. All in all a lovely place to stay and I highly recommend it and Will.

The house is well away from villages but not at all remote. It is exceptionally well equipped and satisfied the needs of a family group with an age range of 7 to 70 without a hitch. Our stay was during the heatwave of August so the large pool was the chief attraction and pool sharing was never a problem.. Tennis, cycling and even long walks were all available but the heat kept them off our agenda. We found markets, shops and river swimming all within easy driving distance. The brief and direction given before arrival were first class and there was plenty of further material in the house. This is a remarkably peaceful area with very light traffic and none of the hassle that is found astride the Dordogne a few miles to the South. The hilltop site of L'Ancien Chai means that a light breeze moderates the hottest of days and there are amazing views in every direction. We enjoyed an excellent stay and thoroughly recommend it to others

Spend a lovely week here in early September. The house is delightful, has everything you need – it’s comfortable, tastefully furnished and very well equipped. The views are stunning and we loved the sunsets from the patio. It was particularly hot when we were there and so we used the pool most days in the late afternoon and were always the only occupants. The house is part of a small complex and everyone seemed very friendly, although it certainly wasn’t busy or crowded. Hard to think of any detractions – little thing - people walking around upstairs is noisy for the rooms underneath but I guess that’s only a problem if you’re a group of people who go to bed and get up at different times . The area is lovely and we loved the bar in the village early evening for drinks. We liked the little market at Aubetterre sur Dronne on Sundays and the beach on the river there. We also liked the market at Riberac. Brantome and Perigueux both worth a visit. We hope to go back.

As soon as you arrive at this house you feel relaxed. It's surrounded by beautiful countryside and is so very well equipped - it's a real home from home and is comfortable and a most inviting place to be. The pool and tennis court are great resources to have literally on your doorstop, and this weekend we've been eating the apples, plums and grapes picked from the extensive gardens. There are lovely views from all the windows of the beautiful French countryside, and a journey to any of the villages nearby always provides fascination - if not with markets, then with the history you find everywhere in this region. One surprise was the quality of the food at the small bar in Lusignac - we certainly weren't expecting it to be quite so good!

We have had many holidays in the area over the years and keep coming back because we love the space, quiet, scenery and French way of life. When we arrived this year the first and overriding impression was the amazing views on all sides. It really characterised the holiday. The house was very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. This was the only house in the small complex that was commercially let and so the other holidays makers were also owners and / or their families. The pool was large enough for a good swim or cooling off in the most beautiful situation. We also enjoyed the tennis courts. We had a most relaxing time and would have no doubt in recommending this Gite to any family who enjoy rural France.
