About this country house rental
Set in a peaceful hamlet of 3 houses on the edge of the river l'isle. The large covered terrace its a great place to sit and unwind, share a bottle of wine after a day trip to Pomerol or Saint-Emilion both only 20 mins drive? The decor is simple, practical and stylish, big airy rooms, log burning stoves in the living room and dining room for the cooler months.
Ideal for a family holiday with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry. The exceptional covered terrace, which runs the full length of the house is great for outdoor dining and barbecues, playing table tennis, or just enjoying the view. A private saltwater swimming pool (10x5 mt and 1.5mt deep)is situated just off the terrace, surrounded by wood decking, a low wall on one side and a gated entrance. A small gate separates the top area from the bottom where there is access to the river for the two 2-man canoes available with life jackets (2 adult & 2children sizes) this area is unfenced.
4 larges bedrooms for 8 adults all with private bathrooms. two bedrooms with shared bathroom.

Fabulous holiday home with everything we needed for a multi generational family holiday. Whilst the facilities were generous and the house full of homely and artistic touches, there was nothing stuffy or overly precious about it. We could relax and make it our home. Jo gave us a run through on arrival and was the perfect host, on hand for any queries but we could relax in the space without feeling overlooked. Kitchen was well stocked and there was a sensible approach to leaving foods and items that might be useful to the next holidaymakers. Mosquitos were an issue for us but we were prepared and came armed. We were also there during a heat wave so wrestled with opening the house up to let cool night air in whilst keeping the critters out. But the house is so well designed it did a great job and the downstairs rooms stayed cool for the most part. The pool is excellent, a great size, all the same depth so great for games and is saltwater so no issues with chemicals. We used it every day. 8 sunbeds were enough for our group as the kids never sat still and the umbrellas provided just enough shade. There were ample indoor games too for when it was too hot to be outside. Location is great. We visited St Emilion, Libourne and Guitre (pretty) Cognac and Bordeaux (lovely clean, well presented city) and of course Coutras. Very pretty countryside and several of us used the kayaks to see things from another angle. The large shaded terrace was just gorgeous and practical too.

Jo’s French Farmhouse has been lovingly updated from the 1800’s. The pool is a dream, the amenities were suberb (kayaks, ping pong, fishing), and the host is gracious and responsive. The landscaping is lovely and the house is on a river. On the downside we stayed in the house during an unexpected heatwave. So, we had to keep the windows closed during the day and the house stayed hot through the night. Jo has fans in each of the rooms to help with the heat. We had ours in front of the window and when the temperature outside cooled, our room cooled quite nicely. During the day we stayed in the pool to stay cool. Our second issue was the insects. In order to cool the rooms at night, we had to leave the windows and doors open and there are no screens. The rooms were full of spiders and mosquitoes. We used insect spray, but all had bites each morning. And, one of the rooms was invaded by wasps and not usable. If insects don’t bother you, the place is truly lovely. Jo lives next door and responded immediately to all of our concerns and sprayed for the wasps. We had a large group (11 people in 6 rooms), but 4 people ended up staying in a hotel in Saint Emillion for the week because of the bugs and heat. (One of the bathrooms filled with wasps through the night and we had to shut that room off to the rest of the house). If you are looking for Beautiful, Rustic, Historical, French Countryside, this is your place. Jo is also looking into screens which would be amazing!

Great house for a group of people, plenty of space, we were 9 during 15 days and we could have stayed more without problem. Upstairs nearly every room has its own bathroom, downstairs is an easy place to leave, great TV room with 3 sofas and great kitchen divided in two parts the table for more than 10 people and then a well organised kitchen with all the facilities. The backyard is the best of the house, wonderful garden by a river plus the swimming pool. Ping pong, basket, kajak, coffe outside, nice chats outside at night... wonderful place, we stayed at home more than we planned.
