"Fabulous Three Generations Family Holiday
A wonderful well equipped holiday home in a stunning location. Wendy was extremely helpful from the booking in process right through to the holiday and even purchased a bike seat for our granddaughter so that she could join us on our bike rides. Everyone was catered for with the use of bikes, table football, pool table, outdoor and indoor games and much more. The pool was a great hit with all the family. We explored the local area and found plenty to see and do. We can thoroughly recommend the restaurant in Montboyer and also Creperie de la Source in Aubeterre. The only downside was that a week wasn't long enough!" August 2022

Our lovely French farm house offers traditional features, a rustic feel and is furnished in a simple and comfortable style. Fresh cotton bedding and fresh white towels to make guests feel at home and a well equipped kitchen in order to prepare and eat fresh local food.

And then there are the wonderful views of the Charentaise countryside of South West France - from the terrace, from the house and from the pool. Watch the sun come up over the old lime tree, take in the fields of sunflowers, corn and maize. Then in the evening sunsets to amaze you as you relax by the pool.

The house is a detached 'longere' farmhouse and has a HEATED PRIVATE POOL (in ground, 8m x 4m, heated by solar panels, with sole use) with an auvent and barbecue area. A bright and airy kitchen/dining room leads onto a raised terrace with panoramic views of the rural countryside, where you can sit and relax. There are large areas of lawn and a selection of fruit trees, including apples (Pommeraie means "apple orchard"), cherries, fig, nectarines etc. There are trees in the terrace garden to provide just one of many places to sit in the shade and enjoy the view ..... and a hammock hidden away in the orchard. This beautiful farmhouse sleeps 10 guests across five bedrooms: all double rooms have kingsize beds and two with single/twin beds. (One of the twin rooms can be made into a kingsize bed by zipping the beds together. Please ask if. you would like us to do this.)

One of the bedrooms is very large with en-suite facilities, with its own coffee or tea making facilities.

There are travel cots available on request if required.

The kitchen/dining room is spacious with a large farm house table, ample storage, a cooker & hob, larder fridge with freezer and dishwasher and is very well equipped for cooking for all the family. There is a large ceiling fan to keep the room cool.
Amongst other kitchen appliances, there is a Delonghi coffee machine so you can enjoy coffee and croissant on the terrace. There is a separate laundry room with a washing machine and an additional freezer and a microwave.
There is a large sitting room with comfy sofas, Sky TV and access to the terrace - cool and airy in the heat of the summer and cosy by the woodburner on cooler spring and autumn evenings.
There is a pool table & table football in the games room.
There is a family bathroom with bath, separate shower & electric towel rail. In addition there is a shower room with an electric towel rail.
There is air-con or heating available in the bedrooms if required.
Renovated early in 2015, we then relocated the kitchen to the centre of the farmhouse in 2018 - you can see how this lovely house has a welcoming warmth and lots of character.
We welcome enquiries, as we realise it is important to know as much as possible when planning a week or two in France.
