"A very spacious property with everything well provided for. Excellent arrival instructions and prompt responses to pre arrival queries. It was a hot week and the pool was expecially welcome. There were plenty of places to sit in the garden in sun or shade.Shutters on all the upstairs windows would help keep the space cooler by keeping the sun out during the day, and allow easier sleeping.The area has lots to offer - we only scratched the surface!A very quiet and tranquil spot set within rolling countryside."

"We had a lovely stay at this well-equipped property in a very peaceful location. The pool was clean and a great bonus, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s about a 30 minute walk into town along a quiet road without a pavement. Emilie, the property manager, was always on hand and very helpful. Would happily return!"

"Beautiful view at this wonderful farmhouse in rural France, yet just 10 mins from Aubeterre sur Dronne, brief but great stay will return"

"We stayed at La Vieille Ferme at the end of June 2025. We were four couples and an infant - myself, my wife, our three children and spouses. We loved the setting, the area, the house and the facilities. Jo was an excellent host and made us very welcome without intruding. We would happily stay again!"

"What a find. If you’re looking for the authentic farmhouse experience, this is the place. The host gives you his all! Breakfast incredible overlooking the gardens. A remote respite in utter beauty."

"This was our second holiday here and once a lovely relaxing and peaceful time in a beautiful location. The heated pool is wonderful and it's great to have aircon in the property for those extra hot days. Simon and his team always respond quickly to any requests. Highly recommended!"

"We enjoyed a quite outstanding evening meal cooked by the owner. It was original and delicious. The hotel itself was quirky, albeit in a good way. Old fashioned and probably in need of a facelift; but as a taste of rural France, hard to beat. "

"Altogether very agreeable. It was comfortable, the staff were very pleasant."

"We had a wonderful time. The house is amazing. Fred is a great host. We loved the area and went kayaking and to the swimming lake as well as the market in riberac."
