Brilliant location to explore cognac and a great place to stay. Host is super helpful and conscientious.
House is amazing and well maintained and equipped. Pool is great and other activities help keep the kids entertained!
Great time was had by all and son is already planning a trip back.
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.
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!
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.
We really enjoyed our stay at the villa, we were celebrating my fathers 90th birthday, the local restaurant was very accommodating and very friendly. We would highly recommend a stay in this lovely villa.
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
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!
Très belle maison bien équipée dans un environnement tranquille, propriétaire très agréable,
Week-end en famille très réussi. Piscine chauffée et exposée plein sudDivers petit coins de repos. Jeux, terrain de pétanque bbq.Merci à Robert de son accueil
La maison est comme décrite. De grands espaces a l'intérieur comme a l'extérieur. Exterieur bien entretenu, piscine claire et chauffee. Ce qui permet de s'adapter à la météo. Cuisine bien équipée (frigos petit pour 12 personnes), tres fonctionnelle.
Un vrai bon moment !! Merci Robert !
Superbe maison, spacieuse et fidèle aux photos. Robert nous a très bien accueilli, très réactif et attentif à nos besoins. Maison très bien équipée et aménagée.
Malgré un temps pas toujours très beau, nous avons pu organiser un séjour quasi parfait. Ceci grâce à l'hébergement où chacun avait une chambre de qualité et des espaces multiples et suffisants. pour le reste, tout était conforme à l'annonce. Je souligne aussi la disponibilité et la gentillesse de notre hôte
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 !
Nombreux sites historiques. Visite des chais de cognac. Angeac. Hennessy.
Très grande piscine sécurisée.
Grand terrain de pétanque
Billard. Baby foot
Cherry on thé cake. Un piano demi queue
Robert le propriétaire est charmant
On va revenir l’an prochain
Très belle propriété , super pour des retrouvailles familiales, chaque famille ayant sa partie nuit et sa salle d'eau personnelle, de grandes pieces de vie intérieures et extérieure...je conseille ++
Nous avons trouvé une propriété superbe et un hôte extrêmement sympathique. Un environnement verdoyant et paisible et une demeure des plus agréables.merci a notre hôte.
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.
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.
We have had a superb week where the whole family have enjoyed a wonderful week together. What more do you need than all the property offers for a range of ages to enjoy themselves!
