"Fabulous holiday home with everything we needed for a multi generational family holiday. Whilst the facilities were generous and the house full of homely and artistic touches, there was nothing stuffy or overly precious about it. We could relax and make it our home. Jo gave us a run through on arrival and was the perfect host, on hand for any queries but we could relax in the space without feeling overlooked. Kitchen was well stocked and there was a sensible approach to leaving foods and items that might be useful to the next holidaymakers. Mosquitos were an issue for us but we were prepared and came armed. We were also there during a heat wave so wrestled with opening the house up to let cool night air in whilst keeping the critters out. But the house is so well designed it did a great job and the downstairs rooms stayed cool for the most part. The pool is excellent, a great size, all the same depth so great for games and is saltwater so no issues with chemicals. We used it every day. 8 sunbeds were enough for our group as the kids never sat still and the umbrellas provided just enough shade. There were ample indoor games too for when it was too hot to be outside. Location is great. We visited St Emilion, Libourne and Guitre (pretty) Cognac and Bordeaux (lovely clean, well presented city) and of course Coutras. Very pretty countryside and several of us used the kayaks to see things from another angle. The large shaded terrace was just gorgeous and practical too."

"A very spacious property with everything well provided for. Excellent arrival instructions and prompt responses to pre arrival queries. It was a hot week and the pool was expecially welcome. There were plenty of places to sit in the garden in sun or shade.Shutters on all the upstairs windows would help keep the space cooler by keeping the sun out during the day, and allow easier sleeping.The area has lots to offer - we only scratched the surface!A very quiet and tranquil spot set within rolling countryside."

"it was a nice place to stay with beautiful scenery"

"Great property and great owner. Can't say enough good things about this house although to call it a farmhouse doesn't give the right impression about how modern and up-to-date the house is. All the "mod cons", and the plumbing and wifi worked. (seriously, that has not been our experience in other places in France). Modern kitchen. Pool was super and well maintained. The youngsters loved the playhouse. And the owner was terrific. Couldn't be more helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed the rural setting but McDonalds, supermarkets, and pizza were only 10 minutes away. Best of both worlds. Would definitely stay there again."

"Beautiful view at this wonderful farmhouse in rural France, yet just 10 mins from Aubeterre sur Dronne, brief but great stay will return"

"What a find. If you’re looking for the authentic farmhouse experience, this is the place. The host gives you his all! Breakfast incredible overlooking the gardens. A remote respite in utter beauty."

"Fantastic place. Stephan was fabulous. "

"We enjoyed a quite outstanding evening meal cooked by the owner. It was original and delicious. The hotel itself was quirky, albeit in a good way. Old fashioned and probably in need of a facelift; but as a taste of rural France, hard to beat. "

"Altogether very agreeable. It was comfortable, the staff were very pleasant."
