Rural Gite in quiet surroundings

Really nice little place to stay, ideal as a base, Ruffec 25 mins civray similar but easy for confolens and limoge

Everything you need for a wind-down in the country. All you could need is provided in the clean and comfortable gite. Not quite silence - there are sheep a couple of fields away and the hum of insects gorging on the flowers. Walks through the fields and woods in the area from the front door. Genial hosts with good local knowledge, friendly and discrete.

Lovely gite, nice couple very friendly but unfortunately whilst decor etc was lovely for me the basics need tweaking a bit ie: no freeze box, no blinds in the bedrooms, no WiFi and I had to climb into the bath to set the taps for the children to have a shower/bath which I found quite difficult with an arthritic hip. On the plus side there is a full size cooker, microwave and a washing machine so I was able to go home with a clean suitcase of washing. There were dvds to watch, bikes to ride and a pool to cool off in which was a bonus. I do wish Tim and Irene all the best with their gite business and hope to stay there again.

It was our first holiday to France and considering we initially had problems with the sat nav our drive down all worked out well in the end! On our arrival Irene and Tim made us very welcome and gave me and the 2 children an introduction / tour around the gite surrounding buildings. The gite itself was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to make our holiday a success! Outside is a lovely courtyard where the children can play, this also leads to a bigger area and field if you need to give the children a run out in our case we played football and rounders. There is also a swing and seesaw. The pool area is a nice and clean and big enough for a family of 4. Nearest supermarket that we used was in Champagne Mouton about 10-15 mins away. Nearby there are loads of things to do, all within a 30-45 minute drive. We did river swimming, kayaks, lakes with Aqua jump, local market in Ruffec, Monkey Valley, Confolens. And plenty of other things that we just didn't fit in. Overall we had a wonderful time and i would recommend this property for anyone visiting, the children were already asking during our journey home they wanted to come back next year! Thanks to Irene & Tim for a great holiday, We hope to return next year. Best wishes Dean, Ella-Rose, Oscar.
