WOW what can I say, spending 2 weeks in this very quiet village was fantastic. The gite was perfect for us. Well equipped and very comfortable. With the owners on site they would assist us in anyway they could.
With a local spar and a couple of restaurants  only a few minutes walk away you do not really need to leave the village, however you need to explore the beautiful surroundings.
Oh and if you want a swimming pool this one is great it the largest I have ever used at a rented accommodation.

Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

When we booked this gite we were assured that is was suitable for less able bodied clients.

The aerial view illustrated on the website led us to assume that the gite we were renting was a single story detached building to the rear of owners main property. On arrival we were disappointed to find this was not the case - we were in fact housed in a ground floor corner of their main house. There were no stunning views from this property - just an adjacent house and the main road into the village.

On the first morning of our three week reservation we had to request that the property be cleaned. Even when this was done we till had to clean a number of surfaces including the metal side bars of the double bed in the main bedroom which were thick with grey dust. 

The twin room had two beds of differing heights butted together. Space around the beds was at an absolute premium! Additionally, and most importantly there was no window or ventilation. The doors to the bedroom and the kitchen/dinner/lounge had to be left open at night.  

The bathroom was extremely narrow, with the toilet situated on one side practically opposite the very small hand basin. It was was certainly a squash to close the door and then sit sideways on the toilet. The shower cubicle was good, but the access to it quite hazardous for the less able bodied, due to the narrow tiled steps up and into the cubicle.

The kitchen area and fittings were good, but the lack of oven proof dishes and tins was a hinderance. These had to be requested from the owners, access to whom was via a steep flight of external steps - again an inconvenience to anyone of limited mobility.

Over a number of years we have stayed in many self- catering accommodations throughout Europe and we have been more than satisfied. But unfortunately we found this particular gite did not meet our requirements or expectations.

Initially we had decided not to reply to your request for a review as we were putting the visit down to experience, but due to the email received from the owners this is now our response.

It was an absolute joy to stay at the accomodation.Everything is of the highest standard, the accomodation, the furniture and fittings, everyhting you need for a perfect stay is there for you.It scores 10 out of 10 in my book. Coming from a Hospitality background I found no faults what so ever.I would have no hesitations in recommnding it to friends. The Hosts were very friendly , accomodating and very obliging.Okay now your waiting for the bad bit...well there is none!
We flew to Poitiers and in just over 2 hours easy driving we arrived , the gates opened and wow it looked fantastic and it was.Well done Mitze

This was our 4th time at this lovely gite which says it all really. The accommodation is spotless and well presented with everything you need. The pool and gardens are wonderful and it's very close to the supermarket which is very handy. The village of Aubeterre is 15 minutes away with a great selection of places to eat and drink. The owners Mitze and Rawdon are always available if you need an information or assistance with anything. For a relaxing holiday this is the perfect location

We had a fantastic fortnight in this deceptively spacious/well maintained and well equipped gite. The pictures do not really do it justice. With 2 teenagers the wi-fi was a real bonus. The pool area was larger than expected with great views over fields of sunflowers and rolling countryside. A very peaceful setting with a large private terrace which was ideal for star gazing. The local spar supermarket was very well stocked. The owners are very helpful and eager to make your holiday as special as possible. We would highly recommend this gite for a peaceful get away.

Mitze and Rawdon were very warm and welcoming and eager to make our stay as good as possible. The gite itself was fantastically well-appointed, especially the kitchen, providing everything you could possibly need, and the pool was always very clean and big enough to enjoy proper swimming! In a wonderful location, only 5 minutes from shops and a restaurant but secluded enough to be relaxing, it was a perfect place. We had a lovely holiday here, made all the better by lovely owners! We would definitely recommend it highly.
