Enjoyed our stay could be much better
Apart from the bed collapsing on quite a few occasions, some of the parts of the house been mended by bodgit and scarper and the pool having seen better days. I quite enjoyed our holiday. It’s a lovely peaceful setting in which to enjoy the surrounding area. You just get the feeling that the house could be spectacular but they’ve gone for the cheaper option in order to maximise profits. The property manager and owner were always available and willing to help out whenever they could. The place needs a bit of money spending on it. With a few upgrades, the cooker being one, it would be a great place. I would book again if improvements were made. 👍

Thank you for the feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the holiday and we are sorry about the issues with one of the single beds. Thanks for bringing this to our attention - they have both now been replaced. The cooker is a simple model, but in good working order. Nevertheless, we value your feedback on this, and will consider our options for upgrading it. It is very helpful to receive comments from our guests, which we take very seriously. We invest a considerable amount of time and money into the property every year to maintain and upgrade it. We enjoy using the property ourselves, and take pride in the house and in the positive feedback we receive from the overwhelming majority of guests. It has never been an endeavour to make profits, so your speculation on this point is incorrect. Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback.

Family Holiday
This is the second time we have stayed here and it was just as lovely as the first time! A stunning location, beautiful house and meadow. The pool was super! Our sons love it here. Fabulous holiday once again! Thankyou!

Beautiful House
We loved the house, the garden and the swimming pool. The facilities were great including the library of books, games etc. We had everything we needed apart from quality WiFi. My husband needs to keep in touch with work when we're away so to be sure that he could cope, and so that our young adult son had internet access, we did take our own device to create a WiFi hotspot. We were unfortunate with the weather, a lot of rain, so although we enjoyed the pool we didn't get as much use as we would have liked. I was quite happy with the books though! The welcome pack and the swimming towels were much appreciated. I think with the garden, pool, toys, games etc. it would be a wonderful place to take children

Hi Terri. Thanks for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday. I'm afraid the WiFi is not great, as you say. Unfortunately in this rural location our options are very limited and a 3G (sometimes 4G) connection is the best we can provide. It's ok for basic internet connection but not much use for watching TV or for anyone that needs high-speed internet access for work. We do try to make this clear in the house information, but hopefully this review will help other guests. Thanks again.

Pretty house
We did have a lovely stay but there were a few issues. The house is old so we know how difficult they are to keep clean but the house does need a good deep clean. We all found the beds too hard and if you do not like wildlife this is not the place to be. There is a shrew family living in the house, we had bats in the bedroom and there are larger creatures that can be heard in the walls/ceilings at night.The close proximity of the fruit trees to the pool does mean you will need to spend some time each day collecting fallen fruit to reduce the number of wasps in the pool area. A big storm also meant we had to spend a fair amount of time cleaning the pool to remove the leaves. We had visits from the neighbours dogs and cats The area is very rural and very pretty. We had some lovely meals st the Hotel du Comnerce in Civray, really enjoyed the canoeing at Taize-Aizie, and wandering around Nanteuil-en-Vallee

The perfect house for a family getaway.
I booked this house for a family holiday holiday to celebrate my Mothers 60th birthday. There were 5 adults, and 2 children. It really was just perfect. The owners have obviously put a huge amount of effort and time into renovating the property. It has such a homely feel and we all said how easy it was to relax. The rooms are spacious and we had everything we needed from kitchen utensils to fun garden games. The little touches like children's toys and DVDs to suit all the family were just brilliant. The pool and massive garden were a bonus! We enjoyed lots of time playing games outside and even a BBQ one evening. The location is idyllic and quiet and the region is just beautiful. We found some great walks to go on from the house. We enjoyed visiting the markets in Civray and Ruffec and consumed far too much cheese and wine during our stay! Ben, the owner was quick to answer any questions leading up to the holiday and was easily contactable. We wouldn't hesitate to return again and would highly recommend. An absolutely wonderful holiday with lots of laughs and great memories. Thank you

Wonderful place!
We had a fantastic time here! We went with 2 children, aged 4 and 7, and 4 adults, and it was perfect for us. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we could possibly need, from extra towels for the pool, to books and games (indoor and outdoor!) to salt, herbs, spices and even ice! The welcome pack including local wine, bread, local honey, pasta, milk and butter was very much appreciated. It was very peaceful and the pool was absolutely lovely!

Lovely typically French old stone family house with excellent amenities
La Peuilard was an ideal house for a large family gathering of 7 adults and 3 children. The pool, table tennis table, tyre swing and space for cricket were well utitlised! We were able to use the outside table for all meals, and found the kitchen very well equipped. We all were extremely comfortable and happy and thoroughly enjoyed our week!

Fantastic house in a beautiful location! We enjoyed our stay and thinking about coming back .
We loved everything about the house and the surroundings. From charms of the old farm house to the well equipped kitchen , from privacy of the swimming pool to the locks on the gates to the pool (very useful if you have small children). All ready thinking about booking it for the next summer. Thank you very much. Lana, Mark and Alexandra Foster

Bien mais détails à régler
Pas de présence physique à l'arrivée, par contre gardien très reactive en cas de soucis (bouteille de gaz ramené très rapidement après appel). Le gros point noir : le chien du voisin qui aboie en pleine nuit pendant quelques heures, heureusement pas toute les nuits mais sur 1 semaine là moitié du séjour.

Le calme et la tranquillité
On a passé un séjour très agréable, la nature, l'espace de la maison est très vaste, son ancien style qui nous a voyagé dans le temps vers l'arrière, la piscine, les environs pour faire des ballades du sport pour découvrir des animaux.... Lidl et Super u sont a 10min en voiture. On a trouver tous ce qu'il dans sa cuisine équipée et même des jouets pour bébés et pour les grands aussi. Une très belle expérience. Merci pour le séjour agréable.

Belle maison de campagne avec extérieurs magnifiques
Parfait pour des vacances en famille. Une belle maison de campagne avec une grande piscine, une terrasse avec barbecue et salon de jardin pouvant accueillir 10 personnes, une table de Ping Pong. Très propre avec serviettes de toilette et de piscine et draps et même un panier de bienvenue. Un seul point négatif : la qualité médiocre de la connexion wifi (qui semble plus être un boîtier 3G).
