Wonderful place to relax and switch off
It was really relaxing we had our two little dogs with us and they loved exploring the shaded areas. Loved having our lunch around the pool and dinner outside the kitchen door in the shade. Mike was very helpful and easy to get hold of. Only criticism the bedding, towels and mattress were aged and need to be replaced. Looking forward to returning next year.

dirty on arrival, exterior doors wouldnt lock, we weren't told
the owner would come almost every sunny day 4 or 5 days a week to do the pool chemicals and clean the pool, he was there for the best part of three hours, so we werent able to use the pool at this time and neither felt we could use the pool area. The house on arrival :- the hinges were half off the cupboard that housed the dishwasher, the door came of completely the first week. the patio door from the primary bedroom to the garden wouldn't close the first night, all windows and doors on arrival were open wide, the owner had to come back that first night to help close it. It remained locked for the whole of our time there. the double bed upstairs broke the first week and remained like that. The pool area - the outside kitchen hadn't been cleaned when we arrived ..fat and dirt on the tiled floor of the exterior kitchen was dirty and remained that way for three weeks. We didn't use it. Pool dirty - the pump wasn't working properly or at all pool leaked and was never at a good temperature MOST IMPORTANT Three days before our holiday ended, we found the exterior door from the kitchen didn't lock properly, on pushing the door once supposedly locked it opened very easily again. we'd been leaving all our laptops, ipads, passports -everything important - it was available for anyone to wander in and take our stuff The owner knew this and said it was why he'd put a little wooden block against the door. he failed to tell us however. a massive deep clean and high maintenance needed

Lovely dog friendly house in countryside
Comfortable country house with lovely pool area and views. The photos accurately show the decor, furniture etc. House is in a quiet spot with no near neighbours but only a few minutes drive from amenities. Dog friendly garden, fully enclosed with lots of areas for dogs to snuffle and find shade. House had two wc and two shower rooms which was great. Access to English and French tv. Good WiFi. Owner Michael was easy to contact if needed by phone (I found the messages via the Vrbo app wouldn’t open while I was in France-I don’t know why) and he quickly sorted out anything that we needed help with. Would definitely recommend this property and owner. Thanks for a great holiday!

Great house and amazing pool
We had to delay this holiday by two years due to covid, however Michael & Clare we so very accommodating. When we finally managed to take our holiday we were welcomed and shown around by Veronica who lives locally so knew all the good places to visit, and eat. Overall the house was well laid out with everything we needed, the pool area was amazing with the water at a constant 26deg. A lovely couple, great house and area so would recommend a visit

Lovely hosts but very tired property.
The location was good and grounds themselves are excellent with a nice pool. Sadly that's where the good times end. The house was dirty, tired and in need of some tlc, it also had a weird odour that followed us home to the UK(I think this was maybe because of the amount or Raid fly spray I used to clear the place of insects so maybe my fault). All the pillows were stained and the bed covers had obviously not been renewed for a long time. The towels were also well past there best. little German cockroaches were everywhere, including in clothes wardrobes and all over eating surfaces. we usually done a morning sweep to get rid of them all. We mentioned this to the owner and were told they were european firebugs(they weren't), then I kept a bunch of them to show him and basically said that he did not think they were "real" cockroaches because they weren't big enough!!!!(they were German cockroaches which are small but still spread bacteria and commonly cause diarrhoea). There was also a mouse issue, when we told the owner they came and put some traps down and told us it was just part of being in the countryside which we accepted. What we didn't accept was the sofa bed in main bedroom being covered in mouse poo and base half eaten by them, it was also broken and unusable. No apologies were made for this nor for the rusty unusable bikes in a very untidy shed. The main garden/pool area was also badly needing tidied/weeded and infested with German cockroaches, there was old house furniture also lying about the outside area. This would be an excellent space if properly kept. I doubt it has looked liked the pictures for a long time. Few of the other issues were a leak in the roof and where to put the rubbish. There was a tiny bin so we were told to put all our rubbish in the car port, this sounded like a local issue but would have liked it picked up instead being left to rot next to the house. I was very reluctant to write this review as the owners were excellent and did try to resolve problems we had. There was also a mix up on dates(our fault) so we ended up getting a few free nights which was greatly appreciated but in the end we left a day early. We have seen a lot of replies from owners on bad reviews so expect our issues to be downplayed and made to look minor or our fault but all the downsides have ruined our memories of the holiday. The pictures are not a fair representation of the house.

Lovely week spent
Made good progress driving down so contacted owners to ask if possible to arrive early, received a prompt message back to say handover had been completed so no problem with this and advised us of where the keys were. We spent a great week at the property, no close neighbours so the grand children could make as much noise in the pool as they wished. The pool itself is lovely, same depth throughout and heated. The evenings were lovely to sit outside watching the bats and listening to the owls. Surrounding area pretty and not too far from the coast, (approx. 1hr 20min to la Rochelle) We also visited Vouvant and Coulon, both worth a trip. The property itself could do with just a little TLC, maybe on low season closed off for a week and professional cleaners hired just for a spruce up but other than that cannot fault.
