Perfect rural retreat.
Lovely quiet location but within easy reach of towns and seaside. Pool was lovely and the cottage itself was ideal. Would definitely recommend.

A superb sunny stay!
My wife, five year old, 9 week old baby and I had a fantastic stay at Angela's cottage. Everything was great, and the pool especially made our sunny week's stay just perfect!

Beds were comfy too Angela gave us information about places to visit and communication with her was very responsive We will definitely be back

Beautiful Gite in rural France
Absolute paradise! The location is stunning, surrounded by vineyards and sunflowers. The gite itself is lovely, equipped with everything you can think of and the pool is fab! It's the perfect place to go to get away from it all but also has a supermarket 10 minutes drive away which has everything you could need! I went with my husband and two teenage children and we all fell in love with the house and France itself. Angela, the host, is easily contactable and checked in with us during our stay which was nice. No complaints! Can't wait to return in the future!

Idyllic cottage set in peaceful location
Good location to explore the Charente-Maritime region. After days out it was a pleasure to come back to the cottage to use the excellent sized pool. The cottage had all the amenities required for a very relaxing holiday including a very large fridge which can be stocked from a large supermarket located around 10 minutes away in Pons. Ample off street parking is also provided. All enquiries with Angela were answered promptly. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking to holiday in this area.

Absolute delight
Having used Holiday Lettings and had great accommodation every time this was another experience that didn’t disappoint. My husband and I have recently returned from a two week stay in this little gem of a Gite. Fabulous location looking out over the vines and the sun coming up in the mornings it was fabulous. The pool area was great with the sun on one side and shade on the other when it got too hot we cooled off in the pool and we were certainly blessed with absolutely fabulous weather. The Gite was lovely and tranquil to get away for peace and tranquility after busy working. You could really switch off. The living and dining area if you wanted to eat in was lovely and cool with the thick walls of the Gite. However the table in the kitchen was used mostly when around the pool area. The Gite was well equipped for cooking if needed. The bedrooms were lovely and cool because we could leave the windows open with the screen mesh a great asset to keep the flies out. Certainly would recommend this little gem of peace and quiet. Thank you Angela for allowing us to stay in your holiday home. Xxx

Charming and Well-presented Cottage
A very sympathetically restored and remodelled Charentaise property. Off-street parking for two large cars. A few steps up to side door (which is effectively the main entrance) brings you to the lounge/diner. To be honest, it was much larger than I had anticipated and was extremely comfortable for four adults. There were some very nice touches like games (which we enjoyed), books (but we'd brought our own), a DVD player and DVDs (which we didn't bother with) and a flat-screen TV. An unexpected bonus was UK satellite TV. The only disappointment on the entertainment front was the lack of wi-fi. Bedrooms were small (as expected) but perfectly acceptable (4 adults). There are a few steps down to a large-ish kitchen. Ample cupboard and work surface space, full-size fan oven and hob (electric). The fridge-freezer was enormous! Outside was particularly well thought out. A larger than expected pool and plenty of patio space, table and 4 chairs, BBQ, washing lines, potted plants. The pool proved particularly welcome, as we were there for a fortnight during the June 2019 Heatwave in France. We peaked at 38 degrees and high humidity. Sun loungers with cushions were also provided, along with a couple of parasols, which were also particularly welcome! Overall, an excellent property, conveniently located for all that Charente-Maritime has to offer.

C’est si bon !
We spent the last two weeks of September in this lovely gite. It’s in a peaceful rural location but within easy access to all towns, attractions this region has to offer. The gite is has been beautifully restored and is more than adequately equipped with everything required for a relaxing stay. The weather during our stay was exceptional, so we made good use of the excellent pool and patio area. Check in / out arrangements were ideal. We would have no problem in recommending this gite to anyone looking to holiday in this area.

Fabulous Gite in a beautiful, peaceful location
We have just returned from a fabulous fortnight in this well equipped and comfortable Gite. The Gite is located in a quiet hamlet but not far from the local small towns. Not far are the larger towns of Pons and Cognac, the nearest beach is Royan about 30 minutes away but a little further are amazing beaches on the Atlantic Coast. The pool and terrace are that good though you might not want to stray too far. We spent many a relaxing day by the pool. Angela is an excellent owner who responds very quickly to any enquiries.
