Relaxing break
We had a wonderful week in the gite. The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. We were looking for a relaxing week away to unwind and could not have picked a better place. The weather was warm enough for us to use the pool a few times which was clean and welcoming. We used the garden/patio area everyday which was also clean, tidy and comfortable. We will definitely look to stay here again.

Excellent All Round
From the moment we walked into the gite, we knew we were going to have a fabulous holiday. It was spotlessly clean, spacious, tastefully decorated and well equipped. The hosts live next door and were on hand if we needed anything, however, the gite offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion. We had fantastic weather and made good use of the heated pool which, like the gite, is much larger than the photos suggest.We have holidayed in France for over thirty years and we can honestly say this is one of the best gites we have ever stayed in.
Thank you Maxine and Dave.

Summer holiday 2023
The property was absolutely spotless upon arrival. We were shown around and it was so much bigger than it looked online. As it was incredibly hot 51 degrees at one point!!) it was great to see that all the bedrooms had their own fan and the boys having their own bathroom was great too. The best part for me was the lovely pool. Big enough to properly swim in but shallow enough so my 20 year old son with autism was willing to get in the pool and both him and his brother learned new skills. It was just for our use which was perfect!! The house is in walking distance from the Ecomussee about cognac ( great little museum and lovely tasting after) and a short drive to the local supermarket in Matha. There is a bakery within a 5 min drive as well.
All in all we all had a great week. The owners were right next door but we did not need to call on them. Nor did we notice them as the garden en pool are super private. One of the best holidays I’ve had!

Fabulous gite in great location.
Just returned from a very relaxing fortnight. The gite is lovely - spacious, comfortable and nicely decorated. Everything you need is there, with enough for 6+ people. David and Max are lovely hosts: helpful, yet discrete. The garden is pretty and well kept. It offers an appropriate level of shady and sunny areas, and there’s plenty of seating. The pool is securely fenced and was a welcome asset. Being heated meant it could be used throughout the day, even in May. The gite is in a small hamlet with an eco-musee a short walk/drive away. It’s definitely worth a visit and the owners have organised a fun self guided tour. The nearby village of Migron has a small grocery shop and boulangerie which were handy on occasion. The larger towns of St Jean d’Angely, Cognac and Saintes are 20-30 mins away. The coast is also an easy drive. All in all, if you’re looking at this gite, you should go ahead and book it. You won’t be disappointed. If (when) we return to this area, we shall stay here again. Thank you David and Max.

Wonderful Gite
I arrived with my wife brother in law and sister in law and everything was just as it was described.
David was there to greet us and explain the general workings of the building.
Great host and very knowledgeable about the area.
The accommodation was first class - it was cold and wet outside but David had the heating on and the hot water was abundant.
Cannot recommend this gite enough
Truly wonderful stay

Idyllic gite in a peaceful location
Our second visit here and just as good, if not better, than we remembered. This peaceful, rural gite provides a get away from it all break with the advantage of being extremely well maintained and having a very private restful outdoor area, including a good sized pool. Max and Dave are perfect hosts, very welcoming and happy to help if required.
We fully enjoy exploring this unspoilt area of France, visiting Cognac, Saintes and beaches at Royan and La Rochelle.
There is still plenty more to explore and we look forward to returning again.

Lovely gite with a fabulous heated pool
The gite was very spacious and well equipped for everything we needed to enjoy a family holiday. The outdoor space was particularly brilliant for our young children who spent hours playing in the garden and swimming in the fabulous pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a property in a rural location wanted to get away from it all for some quality family time.

un agréable séjour
Les abords et la maison en pierre sont très beaux. Le quartier est très tranquille, en pleine campagne, mais d’un accès facile à plusieurs petites villes comme Matha, Cognac, Saint-Jean et Saintes.
L’intérieur de la maison est remarquablement propre, très bien entretenu.
Le terrain arrière est complètement clôturé, de même que l’accès à la piscine. C’est d’une grande sécurité pour les enfants.
Des jeux pour enfants sont à disposition.
La piscine est très propre et régulièrement entretenue, en toute discrétion.
Les propriétaires habitent la maison à côté et le premier étage de la location mais l’autonomie du logement est totale, et ils restent très discrets.
Le séjour est spacieux, de même qu’une des chambres qui comporte une salle de bain charmante.
Les deux autres chambres sont assez petites (surtout une), de même que la deuxième salle de douche.
L’eau des douches est bien chaude et abondante.
La cuisine est moyennement équipée.
Le seul point faible de cette location est la la terrasse qui est en plein soleil jusqu’au soir et que rien ne permet vraiment d’ombrager très efficacement.
A noter que, par rapport à ce que peuvent laisser penser certaines photos, il n’y a pas de barbecue à gaz mais un simple barbecue au charbon de bois et qu’il n’a qu’un simple parasol droit bien insuffisant pour le temps de canicule que nous avons connu.

Nous recherchions un logement avec piscine sans vis à vis, tranquil et tout confort, nous l'avons trouver! Maxine est adorable et Dave très discret. La maison est dans un petit coin de Migron très calme tout autour de quoi s'y promener à pied vous y rencontrer des vignobles, des champs de tournesols et arbustes a s'y perdre nous y avons croisé a plusieurs reprises des faons c'était beau à voir. La maison a tout pour se sentir comme chez sois, les petits détails font les grands. La maison était propre et cosy. Assez spacieuse pour trois adultes et trois enfants de 3 à 6 ans. La cuisine très bien équipée de quoi cuisiné a volonté. L'espace extérieur est super tout juste ce qu'il faut. L'air de jeux est vraiment un plus ainsi que le petit cabanon qui cache plein de surprise pour les enfants et adultes. Le linge de lit était nickel et de nombreuses serviettes étaient à notre disposition. Un séjour d'une semaine vraiment parfaite. Je recommande les yeux fermés. Un grand merci.
