Relaxing and stunning location.
Excellent gite with beautiful surroundings and pool. Lots of places nearby to visit e.g. La Rochelle, Ile de Rè, Saintes, Cognac, Surgeres, etc and nearby beaches. Tony and Erica very helpful and lovely. Will definitely go back again and recommend to friends and family.

Fun in the sun!
Perfect location with plenty of cycle/run routes from the Gite through the sunflower fields to the local village for fresh bread and pastries. Getting lost on occasions added to the fun! The pool was perfect for either relaxing or the many games of volleyball with the kids.
Would certainly recommend both the Gite and area.
Tony and Erica were extremely helpful in suggesting places to visit and were on hand if we had any issues ( we had none). It was nice to meet Shirley the owner and appreciated her accommodating our extra night. Great last week in France.

Séjour de 2 semaines en famille avec nos 2 enfants de 8 et 11 ans. Région très agréable. Les enfants ont grandement apprécié la piscine. Cependant de nombreux points négatifs:- la propreté du gîte est à revoir : toiles d'araignée très nombreuses et qui ne dataient pas de la veille. La baignoire non nettoyée (cheveux au fond). Les canalisations étaient encombrées à notre arrivée. Cela a généré une fuite. Sur ce dernier point la propriétaire a été réactive et a pu trouver une solution avec un plombier en urgence.- Le minimum d'équipement pour un séjour de longue durée n'était pas présent pour un gîte dit familial. Des poeles plus grandes seraient appréciables (pour une famille de 4 personnes cela était juste). La cafetière à l'italienne ne permettait de faire qu'un café à la fois. Il n'y avait pas de passoire... - La chambre de nos enfants n'avait pas de fenêtre ce qui a été très désagréable avec la chaleur. Le velux de leur salle de bain était trop haut pour l'ouvrir. - Problème de wifi non résolu pendant notre séjour de 2 semaines. Nous avons du utiliser notre partage de réseau. La télévision était inutilisable sauf pour lire le DVD

Très bon séjour !
Nous avons passé une agréable semaine dans ce gîte, conforme à l'annonce. C'était très propre. La literie est bonne. L'arrivée et le départ se font en autonomie. le cadre apaisant et la piscine sont très agréables. Par contre, Il faut être véhiculé pour les déplacements.
Bon rapport qualité/prix.

Très bien
Maison très propre, bien équipée, très calme. Une terrasse de chaque côté de la maison, ce qui permet de profiter du soleil ou de s'en cacher ! La maison est bien isolée : nous n'entendons pas du tout les voisins, elle reste fraiche avec ses murs en pierre.
La piscine est top, le cadre est joli.
C'est une maison idéale pour se reposer.

Logement agréable au calme et joliment rénové
Gîte sans prétention mais tout le nécessaire y est. L’accueil du couple gestionnaire est chaleureux. Quelques points négatifs : une des deux chambres n’a pas d’ouverture, dur en cas de fortes chaleurs ! L’avant des 4 logements de la grange donne sur la piscine, ce qui est agréable en soi mais une séparation visuelle entre les 4 terrasses serait appréciable dans la mesure où elle ne sont séparées que de 3 ou 4 mètres. Un petit détail pour finir : lors de notre séjour, télé et lecteur dvd inutilisables.

lack of a lot of things
There were a lot of things not good. 1 The lack of wifi which was promissed 2 a mice plague in the kitchen; we caught 8 mice!!! (every night they pooped all over the kitchen counter) 3 We couldn’t close/open the front/backdoor properly. Our kids were not able to do it by themselves. 4. There were holes in the walls (you could look outside through it) 5. The electrical outlets on the walls where loose. 6. We couldn't air the childrensroom 7. Bathroom: tile grouts were for some parts missing; you can see the wooden floor below. 8. The faucet in the kitchen was loose; we asked Tony to fix it; but after 1 week we did it ourselves. 9. The gas stove has no extra security; if one pit is turned on, the gas doesn’t automatically switch off if the pit is not burning. 10 The venting of the sewer was alongside the terrace. But not high enough so the smell was frequently very strong. 11 The pool; the water was not clear (when we left the water was clear; AFTER THREE WEEKS); there were missing tiles; the drain tile was broken; very dangerous.
