Le Mauguillard, Aubeterre Sur Dronne

Very enjoyable property for our large family vacation. Like any french country house there are always minor issues but they were soon resolved or lived with.

The house and area had everything for a mixed family group from grandparents to the youngest at 9 Response to a problem was swift and very satisfactory. The pool, grounds and house are beautiful and well equipped

Lovely house with a lot of space pool and large area to play.The reason for the 3 star is because there were a few things which surprised us and cumulatively these did affect things overall.The oven in the main house didn’t work which was mentioned on the previous reviews in the book - it actually did but there was a flick of a switch needed so we spent the 1st 8days without in a self catering place.The air conditioning was not in the whole place as we had interpreted from the write up and the 2 small kids rooms in the main house had none (with single beds) whilst fans helped they were very warm and we did book and pay the extra for air conditioning - thinking this was available in the whole property - there was no air conditioning in the smaller house and whilst the downstairs did stay cool the bedrooms were warm but a fan did suffice - clearer write up would have removed this slight disappointment on arrival.The facilities listed were not all available - namely table tennis, the swings were very rickety and moving so we didn’t use and Wendyhouse not in use - not a problem for us but for others may affect a booking.But all of these would only have lnocjed it to a 4 - unfortunately the worst thing was the neighbour who was incredibly unpleasant and intimidating to children for playing in the daytime in the gardens designated to this property - he was very intimidating to 8yr olds and left them in tears and continued shouting at them and would not speak to us as adults.
