Clare and Michael Wallace are owners of the Gite. They had the Gite as their main residence from July 2004 till 2010. During that time, they added 2 extensions; to increase the size of the main bedroom on the ground floor and to increase the size of the lounge. Furthermore, they completed majore works to the garden. When they first arrived, the garden was the old railway line with just the sleepers and rails taken away, leaving a garden with the gravel track and the diches on either side. Work continued in the garden, and in 2016 a swimming pool, enclosed in a wall with out door kitchen was added
Then they moved to Fontenay-le-Comte, just 25k, south. Here, at Longeves, they, with the help of their sons, Ian and Jason, built their own 4 bedroom house.
Starting this year, 2024, they are having the help of Melanie She will be responsible for the maintaining and improving the holiday experience of our guests. So far this year she has initiated the upgrade to the kitchen to add to the new flooring in the kitchen. She will be looking to refresh all aspects of the house and garden, with painting and with planting.
