About this house rental

Nestling on the hillside between the picturesque Roman villages of Bouteilles and St Paul de Lizonne, in a pretty and interesting corner of rural south west France, this former tobacco farm has been lovingly restored, retaining a traditional French country feel. Centred around a shaded courtyard, L’Erable is a charming conversion of one of the ancient single storey barns, sitting alongside the main farmhouse inhabited by ourselves.
L’Erable is an immaculately presented, light and airy house radiating warmth and a friendly atmosphere. The carefully designed interior centres around the extensively equipped farmhouse kitchen. Attractively furnished to compliment the many traditional country features inc. beams and mellow stone walls. French doors permit the sun and warmth to filter in from the courtyard, benefiting from two pretty terraces, back and front, both with comfortable furniture on which to enjoy the tranquil country surroundings.



BEACHES AND WATER PARK: River beaches: Aubeterre which is 8 miles away has a lovely river beach with grassed play area, cafe and restaurant. St Aulaye (14 miles) has the same, together with water slides! Water park: 40 mins away in Augouleme, Nautilis water park with 50m indoor pools, diving pools, outdoor and indoor slides, wave machines. Large lake for fishing & water sports



SAINT SEVERIN: Situated just 3km from Saint Severin, where you will find all the usual village shops, butchers and bakers, as well as grocers, bank, chemist, newsagents, Post Office, doctors etc - not forgetting 3 bars/cafés and small family hotel with restaurant.

We had a lovely two-week stay. The house was absolutely perfect – beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything we could possibly need.We spent many hours lounging by the pool, swimming and playing games in the garden. The location was ideal – peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to charming villages, local markets, and attractions that made exploring the area a joy. It really was a beautiful place to relax. The owners, Nigel and Lucy, were incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay – always available if we had questions, but never intrusive. It was clear they genuinely cared about ensuring we had a great experience, and they succeeded on every level. We had a wonderful stay, would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time.The location is beautiful. The house is cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped. Nigel and Lisa were perfect hosts, providing us with great tips about the area and things to do. We normally never return to the same location, but this is exceptional, and we will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful two weeks at this property. We were greeted by Nigel and Lisa who showed us round. It was the best equipped gite we have ever stayed in. Nigel was on hand to answer any queries and arranged a high chair quickly for our grandson. He also surprised us with a new air fryer when we had mentioned we used one at home. We visited some lovely nearby towns and villages. The pool which was kept spotless was very well used and enjoyed. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was very welcome. We also used the excellent gas barbecue every day. We would thoroughly recommend the property and thank Nigel and Lisa.

Property was lovely - well equipped, comfortable beds, plenty of room to relax in the family room. Two of the bedrooms have air con but we didn’t always use it as the thick walls keep it fairly cool anyway. Great spaces for eating, both inside and out. Garden was a real bonus - plenty of space for kids to play - and views of the beautiful French countryside. We spent a lot of time by the pool - which was a great size and kept lovely and clean. Although it was hard to drag ourselves away from the pool there is plenty to do within about 30-60 minute drive. Lots of interesting towns to explore, and we did several kayaking trips and bike rides. There are also a number of river beaches which I think would be good with younger kids. Nigel and Lisa were absolutely brilliant hosts - really friendly, helpful and responsive, but not intrusive at all. We got some great tips about things to do/places to go which we would not have found otherwise. I do not have a bad thing to say about this place and would not hesitate to recommend it - we have just come back from 2 weeks there, and have had a wonderful relaxing holiday. Sent from my iPhone
