The super outside space with the pool and numerous loungers was perfect for spending lazy days and early evenings on our return from many gorgeous day trips to nearby towns or further afield to the coast which was around an hours drive away. Emma was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and should be so proud of the beautiful home she has created! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle S.

Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful rural getaway Lovely overall 10-day stay with our 2 families in this beautifully decorated and well appointed house; plenty of room, comfy beds, fantastic water pressure, amazing social family kitchen with range cooker, fridge freezer and drinks fridge. (Only teeny thing was the microwave wasnt working during our stay). The pool was perfect for our five 8-10 yr olds and there's lots of comfortable seating outside to enjoy the sunshine. 4 loos and 3 bathrooms across the property which was fab; and lots of fans to keep the air circulating at night when we didnt want to invite in the mozzies to share the night! Quiet and very French largely argricultural area; the local town of Matha has pharmacy, boulangerie, boucherie, cafe and there are lots of nearby supermarkets. Super helpful tourist office in Matha which can tell you about local markets etc. The house is a lovely peaceful base from which to explore nearby towns of Cognac and Saintes, and the bustling coastal city of La Rochelle is only 1hr 15mins by car for a visit. Really lovely stay, and good value for a large group holiday! Excellent commuicative host and lots of information and useful contacts for pool maintenance, etc. ##### Vivien C.

Avec de surcroit une vraie cuisine équipée. Le seul petit bémol: les propriétaires ne sont pas sur place, ce n'est donc pas toujours facile de communiquer avec eux. ##### Jean D.
