La Maison Bancale, Medieval house in stunning village, with great restaurants!

The property is excellent, as are the facilities. We fell in love with it and the village and will include it in our holiday plans for next year. The bed was really comfortable and the quality of the linen was excellent. We appreciated the welcome pack and our dog made quick work of the treats. The yard at the rear was great for sitting out and was nice and cool. The community 'garden' just beyond the top of the road was an excellent place to walk our dog and we never had any problems with parking our car.Can't recommend this accommodation highly enough.

A pretty cottage, very nicely decorated. The village is lovely and quiet. Good walking and biking (wonderful bike path) very close to the house.

We had booked this property in March but heard nothing from the owner until 2 hours before our expected time of arrival at which time we were still travelling with no internet access! The address of the property gave little idea as to where exactly it was situated. Fortunately we were able to visit the Tourist Information Office there and were pointed in the right direction. We finally gained access to the house via key code entry. The property itself was charming, decorated well with lovely individual touches. Ongoing communication with the owner went smoothly and we were able to have a meal at a suggested restaurant one evening in another village. All the village restaurants were not open for business except for L'Aile-Fan Rose at which we enjoyed a late lunch mixed platter.

The house was very nicely decorated and pleasant. The village is probably lovely in season, but none of the restaurants were open during our stay. We did find restaurants in Brantome. There is a small store with limited food, so we had to travel to Thiviers (Intermarche) or Brantome (Spar) for shopping. The listing stated that there was a dryer. There wasn’t one. There were no instructions for the TV, so we couldn’t get it to work. When we arrived, the host told us the coffee maker didn’t work. She didn’t replace it, so no coffee for our stay as there is no cafe in the village. All in all, it was a pleasant house, but a disappointing visit.
