About this house rental
Le Rossignol
A delightful conversion of a stone barn nestled in the heart of the rolling French countryside surrounded by sunflowers. Beautiful family home completely renovated near the historical town of St Jean D'Angely. Spacious and light, ideal for large families or for several friends holidaying together. Comfortably accommodates 8 people in 4 bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms and spacious open plan living area. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and a 4th bedroom with a wet room, both suitable for wheelchair access on the ground floor. Cot available. There is a salt water, heated swimming pool (8m x 4m) which is private and for exclusive use of guests and is available beginning of May until the end of October. There is also a covered terrace providing shade at the pool side and a nice place to relax and watch the sun go down in the evening. By the pool side there is also a petanque court (4mx13m) for your leisure. There is a patio and outside dining is available together with relaxation chairs. In the main garden you will find a games room for darts and table tennis (ping pong) together with a further sun room to relax in and escape the heat. From the moment you arrive at Le Rossignol you will find the pace of life winding down in this peaceful rural setting. The Atlantic coast's sandy beaches, La Rochelle and Île d'Oléron are 50 mins away. The Roman town of Saintes, Cognac, Rochefort and Royan are not far away. The local Château de Dampierre sur Boutonne is a jewel of the Renaissance (16th Century) and is available for tours. The local donkey sanctuary is also not to be missed. The area offers great cycling and walking. Horse-riding available locally and Golf 40km away .
All fully equipped, beautifully decorated with antique furniture. The closest supermarket is in Aulnay, about 15 min by car from us. It is open from 9 to 7.15 pm Monday to Saturday. There is also a lovely little market in Aulnay on Sunday mornings with some excellent fruit and vegetables, meat and fish stalls.
For children there is a great Zoo at La Palmyre, an excellent aquarium at La Rochelle and an indoor aqua park at Jonzac.

Karen and David are always so helpful and the property and facilities are excellent. We had a fantastic week in the pool, then playing table tennis, darts and Boule each evening. Aulnay market is great on a Sunday and the Intermarche is big enough for most things so you don’t need to travel much once you arrive. Niort is worth a visit as is the local Chateau ….. English cable TV also a plus just to connect with mothership a few times. A peaceful retreat to relax …

We booked this house to visit France with family ranging from ages 6 - 82 and had a great time.Highlights:- There was nothing we needed that hadn’t been thought about including all the basics like bin bags, washing up liquid, salt & pepper etc- Super clean everywhere and beds and outdoor seating were super comfortable- Great size heated pool, darts, table tennis and boule kept the kids occupied- Large fridge meant we could do a large shop- Lovely welcome gift of wine, fresh bread and butter- Wifi worked well throughout the house and outsideThe house part of a converted barn and is adjoined to another 2 properties but is very quiet day and night and surrounded by lots of farm land.There is a large Intermarche supermarket 12 mins drive away in Aulnay and a very small camping shop 5 mins away. The owner was very responsive to all of our questions. The only addition we would have found helpful would have been some details of locations / opening times of restaurants, boulangeries etc within nearby villages as many of these don’t have very useful websites if at all.

We had a great week at the property. It is very well set up for family groups-our young kids/toddlers really enjoyed the gardens, grounds and the swimming pool. The pool area is very well set up including the covered patio, and boules court. The swimming pool was secure with a good fence and gate which we liked. The surrounding area is very picturesque and you can enjoy lovely mornings and evenings sat outside near the barbecue. A wonderful stay and we would love to come back.
