The owner kindly left us a bottle of wine and there were instructions about the the house which was also helpful. The house is lovely, three large bedrooms with a beautiful garden. Although it was April we had some great sunshine and were able to eat outside. The house is very comfortable and there is a bathroom downstairs as well as upstairs which was very useful with our young boys. We had a great holiday and will return. Thank you Andy. ##### Glyn M.

No word from owner on getting keys in days leading up to arrival despite him saying he would contact us, so we assumed he'd be there to meet us. Not so; he wasn't there. Eventually found keys and gained access. House is pleasant but feels unloved; several lights broken; landline ("for emergencies") was disconnected and hand set broken; don't know if heating system (supposed to cut in below 20 degrees) actually works, There's loads of possible local cycling (boulangeries, fromagerie, honey seller, Abbaye at Sablonceaux) but we were only able to do that having brought our own pump for the tyres. We found puncture repair kit and tyres leavers but no pump. Notwithstanding the above we enjoyed our 8 days there - just felt it was let down by the above and especially no word from the owner on finding the keys. ##### Michael S.

L'avantage c'est que le gite est situé a une vingtaine de minutes de pas mal de lieu de visite autour. Ce qui est appréciable avec des enfants. Malheureusement, nous avons eu quelques problèmes de chauffage sur place mais cela a été réglé dans la semaine avec l'intervention d'un chauffagiste. Comme nous étions sur place en avril, nous avons utilisé quelques couvertures en plus ce qui a permis de supporter les nuits un peu plus fraiches. Nous avons eu un bon contact avec Andy.

Das Haus wurde zur neuen Saison renoviert mit neuen Türen, Fenstern und einem Dach. Der Garten ist ein toller Platz um zu entspannen. Unsere Tochter hatte Spaß daran die Fische im Teich zu füttern. Das Haus ist ein guter Ausgangsort um zahlreiche Sehenswürdigkeit wie das Aquarium in La Rochelle, Zoo La Palmyre, nahe liegende Inseln und die zahlreichen Strände mit zu erkunden. Wir können diese Unterkunft weiterempfehlen. Das Dorf liegt etwas abseits, deswegen ist man hier auf jeden Fall auf ein Auto angewiesen. ##### Michel M.

The living room was dark as one door was nailed shut. The Wohle house gives a run down unkempt impression. The driveway is very difficult for a larger car.

Our 2 German shepherds loved running around the garden. Andy had secured the perimeter for us by installing a temporary fence. The house was as described and was exactly what we expected. 15 to 20 min drive to some lovely secluded beaches and close to supermarket in Saujon for everyday shopping. We cooked every night and found the kitchen was really well appointed. I didnt find that it was missing any equipment I required. The fridge and freezer were large and the oven was easy to use and very efficient. The booking process was made easy by Andy who telephoned me at home and we discussed all of the arrangements in that manner. Really happy with our stay and would book again. ##### David B.

Het interieur is in oorspronkelijke stijl, in de keuken ontbreekt een standaard koffiezetapparaat, de waterkoker was stuk (geeft kortsluiting) en bij aankomst zat het vriesvak halfvol en was het besmeurd met een groene brij. Voor het overige is het een ideaal startpunt om de vele bezienswaardigheden te bezoeken of om naar zee te gaan. ##### Dirk H.

Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Philip S. 11 Oct 2018 #### A delightful gite in a beautiful area of France. Our group of four "oldies" were attracted to the Poitu-Charente region by its reputation for a warm climate and because it was not too hilly. The gite "Woodsmoke" was delightful and well-appointed. The garden with its shrubs and trees was perfect for sitting in the evening sunshine and enjoying the peace and quiet of Vouillac le Haute. It is within easy reach of a boulangerie selling excellent bread. Further afield but within easy reach by car are some interesting and attractive towns. Royan with its market and sea front restaurants was especially attractive . We all felt we had made an excellent choice of region and gite. ##### Philip S.
