Beautiful country house, perfect holiday location.

The property is as beautiful as the listing shows. The area is peaceful and calm and Robert the host is so incredibly helpful when answering questions about the house or surronding area. Would definitely recommend to others, and book again for our next big family holiday. The house has a collection of activites for those days you do not want to leave the grounds and it worked well for our family group (toddler, teenager and oldies!) And of course theres the pool 🙂 Local area is beautiful, local people are very friendly. The birds are the loudest thing around the area - bliss!

Le Petit Moulin

Our stay at Robert’s house far exceeded our expectations. The house is truly beautiful and it was well equipped for our large party. The pool area was a welcome relief from the heat and the shaded area meant we could use it even at the hottest part of the day. There are many beautiful towns around but the house was so nice we found it hard to leave! Robert was a pleasure to deal with and he made a point of not being intrusive but was always available if we needed him. I would have no hesitation recommending this home and hope to visit again soon.

Absolutely stunning

Robert was a great host, excellent communication throughout. The property itself is stunning and suited our family perfectly. The inside is very grand with lots of space and a great place to cool down. The bedrooms are large with excellent quality bedding. The pool area is amazing, very clean , tidy and secure. We had a five yr old and she couldn’t open the gate, a bonus when travelling with young children. The restaurant in the village was great fun and very welcoming. We will be returning next year!! Thanks Rob

Wonderful villa for our family trip

We stayed for a week at the villa, with a group made up of six adults and five children agreed between 4 and 8. The place was fab: really well equipped (thank goodness for somewhere that has a properly set up kitchen!) and loads of living space. As parents of small children we were super grateful for good blackout blinds in some rooms and shutters with curtains in others. Lots of bedding too. Lots of space to seat everyone while eating, both indoors and outside. And the kids’ Grandma made good use of the many DVDs in the evening! The pool was wonderful and the kids happily spent almost everyday there. We took our own inflatables but Robert had supplied pool towels, which was really helpful as we travelled by train so were packing light. There wasn’t a huge amount to do within walking distance but there was a nice little restaurant in the local village and bakeries within a 5 min drive. A hypermarket within 15 mins drive so we were able to self cater really easily. We took a couple of day trips out towards Cognac (there’s a great kids’ play area and splash park there) but it was so easy to stay at the house and mess around in the pool we really didn’t need to venture far 😊 Robert was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. We’d love to go back next year!

Anniversary holiday

We had a great holiday for our 50th wedding anniversary, with all the family. The pool was in constant use by all and the veranda was a lovely place to sit during the hotter part of the day. The garden was well looked after and a great place for family games. We had a few problems during our stay but they were quickly dealt with by Robert. I would happily visit again.

Très belle retrouvaille entre amis à Criteuil

Nous étions un groupe de 6 couples et 2 enfants bas âge, nous avons été enchanté de notre séjour chez Robert. La maison est très grande, propre avec toutes les commodités nécessaires. Mention spéciale au nombre de salle de bains! L’environnement est agréable. J’espère que nous n’avons pas dérangé les voisins avec nos dîners tardifs. Nous reviendrons pour de prochaines retrouvailles !

Perfect venue for our multiple family holiday

A really beautiful house, exceptionally well-appointed and maintained. The children in our group ages 8-13 were kept entertained with the pool and games room. Plenty of space for 3 families. Robert was a really excellent host, unobtrusive but very available and responsive. He kindly organised a local babysitter for us. Really lovely restaurant within walking distance and Michelin star restaurant within 30th street drive. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Everything You Need

This property was not just big enough for our large gathering of friends and family, but the kitchen was well equipped and there was loads of space for everyone to be entertained. There’s a great bakery nearby in Archiac (opposite a Carrefour) so we didn’t have to go too far for essentials and there was lots to see and do in the area. We recommend kayaking down the river to the north.
