Absolutely fantastic property - very peaceful & quiet and wonderful owners. Our little girl fell ill on the way to France and Adrian went with us to A&E and to see local GP (both during the weekend). Honestly, the owners couldn't be more helpful. Both Adrian & Pat are the loveliest people you'll ever meet. Thank you so much both for everything, we are forever grateful to you and we hope to come back again next year. Thank you for the memories. Much love x

What a fabulous place. I completely understand why previous visitors have returned to this property multiple times. Pat and Adrian were extremely welcoming but in no way invasive during our stay. They gave us lots of ideas of things to do during our stay. There are plenty of restaurants a short drive away in Montbron, Angouleme and Piegut. A particular favourite of ours was Aux Caprices, opposite the Intermarche in Montbron. There are great swimming lakes close by eg Lac de St Estephe. The road cycling here is fabulous with a voie verte very close to the house. The memorial in Aradour is well worth a visit. The weather was fabulous ranging between 27 - 33oC with a bit of a breeze. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for a peaceful place to holiday but with lots to do close by, only a short car journey away. Pat and Adrian are fabulous.

Great week in the Charente
We stayed for a week, 7 of us staying in the gite including 3 kids. It's a charming property adorned with flowers and beautifully presented - the pictures don't quite do it justice in fact! Lots of space around the grounds, and impeccably clean throughout. Lots of nice touches around the accommodation and very complete. Pat and Adrian were there to welcome us and on hand in case any questions came up. They are a class act and a big part of the amazing week we had in the Charente. Would definitely recommend this place.

Relaxing stay in an idyllic rural setting
This is the first time we have stayed at the same property twice, which says it all really! Lovely little gîte in such a gorgeous setting - so quiet and peaceful - beautiful views out over the fields. The only other property in sight is the owner's. Pool is fantastic, and very safe with the fence. Cottage has everything you need. Owners are great - friendly and helpful whenever you need anything, but not at all intrusive. There is plenty to do - some great, safe cycle rides on the nearby voie vert route, some caves to visit, a great market at Piegut, nearby chateaux etc. Montbron is nearby and has great supermarche and some nice little restraunts. We enjoyed our second visit even more than our first one!

This was our second time here, I’ve never ever stayed at the same place more than once and always have tried somewhere new but this place is just perfect and ticks all our boxes. There is everything you could possibly need here, any utensil you name it it’s here! Pat and Adrian are the perfect hosts and help with anything you need. Can’t wait to come back again

Beautiful rural get-away
We had an absolutely wonderful relaxing stay here. Set in the countryside, this cottage is so quiet and peaceful, but there are lots of nice things to do nearby if you want to. First the basics - kitchen was incredibly well equipped with everything you could possible want. Beds were comfy, and the rooms were nice and cool even in 33-34C° heat. Although the owners live next door, it is really private and secluded. Pat and Adrian were very welcoming on arrival, and were very helpful whenever we had queries. The pool was an absolute luxury - very safe, as completely enclosed. We could let the kids play in the garden on their own without any worry. If you get bored of lazing round the pool, there are great bike routes nearby and lovely walks. Also kayaking and tree climbing. There is a big inter marche about 10 mins drive away in montbron - and also some nice restaurants. Altogether an absolutely lovely get-away!

We would like to say a huge thankyou to Pat and Adrian for making us so welcome lovely people. The house catered for all our needs. And was a great escape from the heat and it did get hot ! The pool is lovely... and we needed it to cool off. Beautiful countryside and views and so peaceful. Must mention the fresh cherries..very tasty. If you want to de-stress and get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, look no further than here, really worth a visit

Lovely house, great location, relaxing holiday
We have just spent a lovely week at Pat and Adrian's charming house near Marthon. The accommodation is typically french, very comfortable and relaxing, and the salt water pool was perfect for lazy afternoons in the sun! The surrounding garden was a real bonus and the local area is lovely with some scenic walks and pretty little towns not too far away. The house itself was also a great location for attending our niece's wedding nearby. Pat and Adrian were generous hosts who made us feel very welcome - we definitely wanted to stay for longer!

Fab pool, great holiday.
We had a lovely week staying at the property in August 2018. The cottage is really well equipped; the outside space is a real highlight with a great outdooor dining area, and a further built in bbq area. Pat and Adrian are really friendly and helpful. The swimming pool is amazing, was really warm when we were there and is kept super clean. The surrounding area is peaceful which suited us just fine, nice towns and good cycling nearby.

J'ai réservé ce cottage pour mon fils et ses 3 amis. Pat et Adrian ont été très réactifs pour répondre aux x questions que je leur ai posées avant le séjour. Les 4 garçons ont été accueillis très chaleureusement. Ils ont adoré le cottage et les divers aménagements dont la superbe piscine chauffée. Tout s'est très bien déroulé. Je recommande donc, de la part de mon fils, cette superbe location pour un séjour tranquille dans la campagne charentaise :+)

Accueil très chaleureux par Adrian et Pat très discrets et gentils pendant tout notre séjour L'environnement est top (entouré de champs, forêt) donc super calme Le bien est tout aussi confortable et hyper équipé en matériels de cuisine 2 barbecues (un au gaz et un au charbon de bois) Un espace extérieur très large et la piscine sécurisée. Nous avons occupé à la fois la maison et le studio. Côté sympathique le poulailler et une cane que nous nourrissions tous les jours de nos épluchures de légumes 🤣🤣🤣 un plaisir ! Nous gardons donc un très bon souvenir de notre séjour. PS : partant chaque année au mois d'août avec Abritel dans des locations de ce style c'est la 1ere fois que je vois à notre disposition à notre arrivée autant de fournitures de papier toilettes, du Sopalin et une batterie de cuisine aussi fournie) Merci encore à Adrian et à Pat pour se séjour. Je recommande vivement ce bien.
