Beautiful relaxing stay

The beautifully renovated property is in a great location if you're looking for a quiet stay, the grounds are stunning and the large patio and pool are great additions. The owners supplied everything we could have needed, garden and board games, kitchen equipment and basic cooking ingredients. Hair driers, blankets, even a first aid kit. This all made our stay even more comfortable. The house is very spacious, even with 12 of us staying, it wasn't crowded, there are enough communal spaces for everyone to gather together or branch off if wanted. The owners were very responsive before, during and after our stay with our questions and requests for recommendations. The only slight negative we found, which is in no way a reflection of the owners. The flies, wasps and hornets were a nuisance during our stay in mid August The addition of some wasps traps would have been great. Obviously their presence can not be helped by the owners.

Wonderful Family Holiday Home

A wonderfully spacious holiday home. Lovely and clean. The support we got from the owners was fantastic and the check in process was very easy. The pool area was lovely, the pool is deep very quickly, No shallow area for small ones but it worked well for us. Lots of open garden for the kids and views of the friendly cows. The kitchens were very well equipped and had everything we needed, lots of options for places to eat in the house with a big crowd. The rooms were all spacious and comfortable. The weather wasn’t amazing for our week so we spent a bit of time out of the house looking for villages and towns to explore and there didn’t seem to be many in close proximity but we found a few interesting places. Overall probably the nicest house we have stayed in in France over the years.

Everything you need for a family holiday

We had a wonderful holiday with friends and family at this beautiful house. We were three families holidaying together and yet we still had lots of space to play and catch up. The garden is perfect for children to run around and play and the parents enjoyed a drink every evening in a different little area around the garden. The pool area is perfect for enjoying and afternoon altogether. The kitchen is well equipped and we ate outside at the big table for most meals. The house is clean and comfortable. I’d definitely recommend staying here as it has everything you need for the perfect holiday.

An amazing family holiday home

3 families, a party of 11 (6 adults & 5 children) spent a fabulous week in this stunning holiday home. We rented both buildings & the property has everything you could wish for: fantastic kitchen (which had every kitchen essential families could need inc pots, pans, serving trays, mugs, glasses, knives, forks etc.); 3 lovely reception rooms to chill out in (a snug, a TV room (where the kids tended to ‘hang out’ when they weren’t in the pool) & a hall in the barn-wing of the property that could host a royal banquet!); 6 bedrooms that were all of a generous size & had plenty of storage places & easily enough bathrooms/ WCs. Outside has plenty of car parking (we only had 3 cars but could easily fit 2 or 3) & amazing garden with beautiful flowers, plants and trees dotted all around. The owners have thought of many activities to do & kindly provided equipment. The garden had enough room to play rounders/cricket/football as well as the petanque (boules) area. You will find you have spectators, during whichever event you choose to play, as the cows in the neighbouring field watch on! There are bikes provided & a table tennis table situated near the large patio. The patio itself has a large gas BBQ & a large table easily able to accommodate all 11 of us for our group meals. A must-visit is the local boulangerie in Dignac (with freshly baked all kinds of breads & pastries). Dignac also has a small shop & Pharmacy. A little further away, but only about a 15 minute trip, is Villebois-Lavalette which has a large Super-U (with fuel-pumps) & large Pharmacy. Villebois-Lavalette also has a stunning Chateau on the hill and a quaint church nearby (well worth a visit) The star of the show though is the swimming pool, we enjoyed excellent weather & the pool provided entertainment & relaxation in equal measure for young & old alike! With the diving board providing the main source of entertainment for 7 days! Again the owners provided numerous items such as balls, inflatables & goggles to be used in the pool & were much appreciated The owners were extremely helpful from booking to arrival & I want to particularly thank Antonia for all her help during the past 12 months in making this a holiday to remember. 11 people (who had by-and-large known one another for 15 years) arrived at this stunning home on the 17th Aug‘19 all as close friends but left on the 24th Aug’19 as one big family. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home. We hope to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by Mr and Mrs Graham

We are a family of five who having enjoyed many French holidays with family and friends, decided in 2004 to buy a holiday home we could share with others. The property needed extensive renovation and now offers a heated, saline pool, large garden, comfortable and spacious accommodation and everything we feel is important to make for the perfect holiday retreat.

Why they chose this property

We know and have loved the Charente for many years. Our hamlet is one of the highest points in the Charente, so the air is clear and views over surrounding woodlands are lovely.
The property is an old stone farmhouse with two barns and not only offers abounding space but also lots of character.
