Large, quiet gîte, swimming pool, table tennis, table soccer

We had a lovely time. The house was large and gave us enough space to have our own corners. The pool was lovely, as were the grounds. Paul and Lydie we very kind and welcoming.

We enjoyed a perfect, relaxing holiday at Lydie and David's beautiful house. The photos really do not do this house justice - it is much bigger than you expect - lots of 'extra' spaces with seating, including a mezzanine with desk and futon, so plenty of space for teenagers to spread out . We were only 5, but there would be plenty of room for 8. It is decorated to a high standard - very tasteful and comfortable. The beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms well-fittec out with hot, powerful showers, and the seating area is really sociable. We had lovely weather and were able to make full use of the lovely pool and the massive garden. David and Lydie are great hosts - there if you need them, they have thought of everything to make their guests feel comfortable, but they are also discrete so you have privacy. The house is well-placed for visiting Rochefort, Saintes, La Rochelle, Bourges - amongst other places, but we were also very happy just to relax in the garden. We hope to return soon!

We enjoyed our stay in this large, spacious and well-equipped cottage in a quiet rural location within easy reach of the of interesting historical sights, coastal resorts and offshore islands in Charente-Maritime. We were warmly received by Lydie and David and had a very relaxing holiday. Thoroughly recommended.

We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay at the property and everything was beautifully clean and well furnished. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed to cook for your family. We were welcomed with a much appreciated basket full of goodies when we arrived which was a lovely touch. The pool was wonderful and very refreshing after a day out sight seeing and our hosts Lydie and David were fantastic. Very friendly and available if you needed to know any local information. Thanks so much for a lovely stay! Isabelle and family x
