Notre famille (16 personnes, 4 générations, 2 à 92 ans) a passé deux semaines très agréables dans cette belle et grande propriété en dehors des zones de vacances les plus recherchées. Il y a donc peu de touristes, peu de circulation, c'est très reposant. La propriété elle-même est belle. Beaucoup d'espaces communs (16 canapés, chacun le sien!), chambres confortables, et une immense bibliothèque. En 20 ans de locations, nous n'avons jamais eu une salle à manger aussi spacieuse. Tout était en ordre et les hôtes sont sympa, discrets et attentifs. La piscine couverte a de grandes fenêtres coulissantes qui vous donnent l'impression d'être dehors. On recommande chaudement la boulangerie Damien Guenot (tout ce qu'il faut pour un excellent petit déjeuner français) et le marché à Montmorillon; la location de vélos à Cycle et Sport (LeBlanc) et la visite de l'abbaye de de Saint-Savin.
Temps ensoleillé, toute la famille a aimé se retrouver dans cette belle demeure de 10 chambres spacieuses et 8 salles d'eau, avec les 2 cuisines et la piscine pendant 3 jours. Seul SOUCI : chaudière en panne pour chauffage et eau chaude pour 1 cuisine, 5 douches en chambres. Dédommagement obtenu sur le prix.
Excellent we de l'ascension en famille 8 adultes et 8 enfants en pleine nature. Très agréables et grands espaces de vie à l'intérieur et dans l'immense parc avec beaucoup d'activités pour tous. L'accueil des propriétaires est très chaleureux et nous avons été petits et grands sous le charme de cette propriété hors du commun.
Nous avons réservé ce lieu pour des vacances entre amis. Sabina et Andrew sont des hôtes adorables et nous avons passé un séjour joyeux dans ce grand espace de nature et cette ferme rénovée et chaleureuse. Parfait pour des vacances au calme tout en trouvant chacun sur place une activité pour chaque envie du moment !
Lieu exceptionnel avec de l'espace et un parc grandiose
Nous étions 20 personnes (10 grands enfants et 10 adultes), de l'espace et des chambres pour tous sans contrainte.
Des salles de jeux très biens fournies, 2 cuisines et buanderies sur-équipées.
Le parc qui entoure la propriété est absolument incroyable et offre des possibilités de jeux pour tous.
L'accueil et les communications avec les propriétaires sont simples, fluides et sympathiques.
