Peace Perfect Peace

Captain Birdseye Northumberland
Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Four adults looking for a peaceful retreat yet accessibility to local amenites found this a wonderful setting. Lots of areas to walk, cycle(cycles on site) and easy access to main roads for visiting some lovely little villages and larger towns. Very little traffic passed this way so walking on the roads no problem.
A very welcome pack provided by Liz saved us having to think about a meal upon arrival and the freedom to pick peaches, figs, plums etc from the garden gave us a steady supply of fruit.
The house is well maintained and very spacious and the kitchen well equipped( althiough having Liz, Jeff and Chay living on site meant that anything we needed they were willing to provide) Although the three of them lived next door we rarely saw them unless we asked for their help with places to visit in the area.
Views spectacular, tranquility unforgettable and would not hesitate to return or recommend to friends.

Rural perfection

CognacMum Hainault, Essex
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have just returned from 2 weeks in this perfect property. Very spacious, very clean and well-equipped. The pool is an added bonus.
The house is perfectly located, being far enough away from busy raods yet near enough for excellent days out. Would recommend Arcachon, Royan, Cognac, Aubeterre and St Emillion.Barbeziuex and Chateauneuf also lovely.Great hotel restaurant in Barbeziuex in the garden terrace.
Excellent holiday for lovers of Bordeaux and Cognac. Plenty for all the family to see and do: children and the energetic would enjoy the cycles to explore the locality.
Owners helpful and friendly but they keep a respectful distance so you can come and go as you please. Highly recommended.

Everything you could want from your holiday!

Major B Lincoln, England
Review Submitted: May 17, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
This beautiful home is linked to a choice of several airports by good main roads - a must when travelling with 3 children! Our comfortable, spacious and well-appointed accommotation was set in quiet countryside amid grape-vines and offering fantastic views from its elevated position. The property boasts a very large, safe and private garden. Our friendly and helpful hosts had a wealth of knowledge and suggestions of places to visit and of the local amenities available. The house has been tastefully and sympathetically refurbished to give a true taste of French life (particularly visible in the kitchen!) providing both the means and atmosphere for a relaxed and enjoyable holiday. We'll be back!

Wonderful Scenery

Helen&John Derby
Review Submitted: May 17, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
We stayed in May 2008 and the gite is fabulous. Very large,really clean, well equipped, lovely shower/wet room with great views ( as you shower)
Liz & Jeff were very friendly and also they were very helpful with directions and things to go and see.
The location is very quiet and perfect for a relaxing time.
We visited cognac, and a lovely drive to the coast. Went into the local town (Barbezieux) for a great pizza.
Worth a holiday there.

A beautiful house in a stunning location

David & Aileen Scotland
Review Submitted: October 22, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This is a beautiful cottage in a stunning location, it is immaculately clean, with everything required for a relaxing holiday. The house is surrounded by vineyards and fields of sunflowers.The cottage is joined to the owners house and although situated on a rural road (well surfaced), the main road is accessible within a couple of minutes. There are several large towns within 20 minutes drive in all directions, with all the amenities one requires - large supermarkets, restaurants, wonderful swimming pools, parks etc, there is also a small supermarket in Jurignac. Bordeaux airport is approximately 1 hour 30mins dependent upon traffic and there is one used by Ryanair at Angouleme, only 30 minutes away.
The owners are particularly friendly, kind and helpful and are there when required. The roads were extremely busy around Bordeaux when we arrived (due to the 14/7 holiday) and our arrival at the cottage was delayed. Liz very kindly provided us with sufficient groceries to enable us to manage until we went to the supermarket the following day.
Liz and Jeff gave us advice and suggested places to visit during our stay. We travelled with our 7 year old daughter who thought the house and surrounding area was brilliant and it was great to see her continually playing outside.
The weather was beautiful, without being too hot and we made full use of the garden area, with its outdoor seating. We would certainly recommend this cottage to most groups, but particularly those with families and to couples. .
