Luxueuse maison en pierre du XVIIIe siècle rénovée au cœur de la campagne française.

We booked this house to visit France with family ranging from ages 6 - 82 and had a great time.Highlights:- There was nothing we needed that hadn’t been thought about including all the basics like bin bags, washing up liquid, salt & pepper etc- Super clean everywhere and beds and outdoor seating were super comfortable- Great size heated pool, darts, table tennis and boule kept the kids occupied- Large fridge meant we could do a large shop- Lovely welcome gift of wine, fresh bread and butter- Wifi worked well throughout the house and outsideThe house part of a converted barn and is adjoined to another 2 properties but is very quiet day and night and surrounded by lots of farm land.There is a large Intermarche supermarket 12 mins drive away in Aulnay and a very small camping shop 5 mins away. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions. The only addition we would have found helpful would have been some details of locations / opening times of restaurants, boulangeries etc within nearby villages as many of these don’t have very useful websites if at all.

We had a great week at the property. It is very well set up for family groups-our young kids/toddlers really enjoyed the gardens, grounds and the swimming pool. The pool area is very well set up including the covered patio, and boules court. The swimming pool was secure with a good fence and gate which we liked. The surrounding area is very picturesque and you can enjoy lovely mornings and evenings sat outside near the barbecue. A wonderful stay and we would love to come back.

Beautiful property. Superb pool, and with Pétanque, darts and table tennis everyone had plenty to do. Comfortable beds and very well equipped kitchen. Lots of nice details. Lots of outside seating. Great communication with Karen. Would definitely stay again. Peter

A very pleasant fortnight in this well-appointed house. Worked really well for a 8 person mix of adults and kids. Good pool and pétanque court and lovely to eat and sit out in the summer heat. Fantastic night skies. Quiet corner of France with plenty to see and explore. Happy to recommend.

The house was very well equipped, a real home from home. The pool was very well maintained and a joy. The property is within easy access for sight seeing although we spent the majority of our time at the pool. Karen was quick to answer my queries and was an excellent host

We spent a wonderful week at this beautiful property. Karen and David are excellent hosts and really helpful. The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We loved the different outdoor seating spaces for alfresco meals and drinks The pool was superb and helped us to cool off and relax in the very warm weather. We loved exploring the local area. We can recommend Aulnay Sunday Market, the towns of St Jean D'Angeley and Cognac and also the Chateau at Dampierre just down the road which is beautiful and has a really interesting history and is great for families to explore as well as the nearby Poitou Donkey farm which is well worth a visit.

We spent a lovely week at Karen David’s beautiful property. The property was exactly as described. To be honest, the pictures do not do the property justice. It was spotlessly clean and everything was too hand. The welcome gift pack was also a very nice touch. We spent our days exploring (La Rochelle, Rochefort, Sunday Market at Aulnay, St Jean D,angley and some pretty villages along the Charente River) When not exploring we spent lazy days by the heated pool and perfecting our pétanque skills. Overall it was an absolutely fantastic holiday and we would not hesitate to book again, but probably for longer next time.
