Thanks for making us so welcome, we all had a great time, lots of fun had by all the family, great place, good weather, lots of trips. None of us want to leave!
This is the most comfortable gite we have ever stayed in. The peace and quiet has been very good for us as we have managed to unwind. We have had a great holiday and we will be back!
Thank you so much for making us welcome. We are sorry to be leaving this beautiful part of France, but we'll be back.

Review Submitted: September 13, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Nice house in a hamlet of four or five dwellings half a mile away from the centre of Manot.Very quiet surroundings. We have enjoyed the swimming-pool ( access at all times ) , the vélo-rail, cycling on the little roads around Manot and kayaking down the River Vienne ( from Excideuil to Manot ). Owners very nice and helpful. This gîte is ideal for nature-lovers ( dormice can be easily spotted ) .

Chill out perfection

Review Submitted: September 10, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
What a marvellous retreat for those wishing for a holiday in this delightful part of France. We found the accomodation excellent with everything we could wish for. The pool was a fantastic way of unwinding after a day sightseeing in the surrounding area. Some beautiful countryside to explore and equally some interesting towns and cities to visit. Don't miss the velo-rail for a very different and fun way of exploring the immediate area!! Our hosts were very informed and helpful, also extremely friendly and approachable. The property was well maintained and clean with excellent facilities for any family/group. we particularly liked Confolens with its restaurants and history. The lakes , very close, provided a lovely excursion and would be ideal for families with children of any age. In general exactly as described and to be recommended.
Thanks Terry & Eileen for a memorable and enjoyable stay.
ps. don't miss the Pineau Charentes!!!

Peace and quiet in rural France

If you want peace and quiet in a beautiful part of rural France - then Maison d'Hibou is definitely for you. We loved hearing the owls at night and watching the lizards in the day. The kindness and consideration of the gite's owners helped make our holiday really special. The pool is lovely - we couldn't keep our daughter out of it - even on the cooler days!

A relaxing stay in a beautiful part of France

Dormouse Bristol
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We would highly recommend Maison d'Hibou for a relaxing break in a beautiful rural French setting. Eileen and Terry were excellent hosts being very friendly and helpful. The gite is very well equiped and tastefully renovated to a high standard, we had everything that we needed. We made good use of the garden, eating outside most meal times. It was very peaceful and we could watch the lizards scurrying about. The children loved the pool and were in it every day. The local town of Confolens was very pretty and had all the shops that you would want. Manot is 5mins on a bike, the lady in the boulangerie was charming and happy to sell you any number of 'pain au chocolate'. Charente is a very peaceful, easy going and beautiful area, I'm sure that we will be back.

Herrlich

Review Submitted: August 12, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Seit Jahren fahren wir nach Frankreich und mieten Häuser und dies ist einer der besten. Landschaftlich schön gelegen mit einem sehr großen Garten und einen Privat-Pool (Kinder) der nur ein Katzensprung weit weg ist.
Hier kann man einen sehr erholsamen Urlaub verbringen. Das Meer / der Strand ist mit dem Auto schnell zu erreichen. Man kann schöne romantische Dörfer mit romanischen Kirchen besichtigen. Mann quirlige Städte besuchen. Man kann sich sportlich betätigen (Wassersport, Velo-Rail, Wandern ...). Man kann, man kann...
Aber das Beste ist die Ruhe. Man kommt von einem Ausflug zurück zum Haus und hier ist Ruhe - Herrlich.
