About this property
Private pool and secluded garden. Sleeps 4 adults maximum + 4 children.
Haute Fayette is a 17th century priory renovated to a high standard situated in a peaceful, rural area. Renovations have retained a lot of the original features, arched windows, original stonework and exposed beams. The thick original stone walls mean the property keeps cool which can be a godsend on very hot days. The property has easy access from the car park for people needing a wheelchair. Also accessible by wheelchair is the downstairs bedroom, bathroom, dining room, kitchen, lounge, garden and pool. We have kitted out the kitchen with everything we would use ourselves from pizza cutter to washing machine. Included are microwave oven, hob, regular oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, toaster and corkscrew! The Dining area/day room has a table for 10 diners to sit comfortably a chaise longue and easy chair. Access to the garden, exterior dining area, pool and aperitif terrace is gained through an arched doorway. The downstairs bedroom has two twin beds (sleeps 2) and its own bathroom with large shower, WC and handbasin. The lounge is cosy with two huge leather sofas, TV, coffee tables and wood burning fire. The upstairs open mezzanine area has easy chairs, original wooden beams and stone walls. The Master bedroom has a king size bed looking out onto the beautiful scenic countryside. Floor to ceiling windows give you a panoramic view over fields and forests and the chance to see the sunrise. The childrens room, with access to the bathroom, has 2 sets of bunk beds (sleeps 4). Bedroom 4 has a double bed and lounge area with views out over the garden and pool. This room also has access to the bathroom. The pool area is completely enclosed by a discrete safety fence, as demanded by French law, with a child proof self closing gate. We do ask though that you survey your children at all times. The pool is 5metres x 10metres with a depth of 1m at the shallow end progressing to 3metres at its deepest point. The garden and pool area are completely secluded and not overlooked. The area around the property has a lot to offer including, chateaux, ruins (Chateau La Mercerie is amazing), kayaking, markets, caves (the best in my opinion being those at Villars) golf, velo-rail, bicycle hire, soap making, glass blowing, underground church (a must, at Aubeterre.) Make a day of it and visit the potter Xavier Maffre. There is car space for two possibly three cars. Our neighbours have free range chickens who enjoy a walk around our pool so we request no animals. The minimum stay is 4 nights. We do ask that you respect the area around the house. We have a very good relationship with our neighbours and we want it to stay that way. Please no undue noise especially after 10pm. The supermarket and local shops are a 10 minute car drive away from the property. Please note that the 4 bunk beds are only suitable for children.

Beautiful house and excellent location
A stunning property and really well appointed in a lovely quiet location, plenty of parking and lots to see in the local area and even more within a 40 minute drive would go back in the blink of an eye
Nous avons 4 jours dans cette vieille demeure , nous étions 2 familles avec des enfants de 4 à 14 ans. La maison est idéale, de la place, bien aménagée, de la place, un jardin et une piscine. De quoi passer un excellent séjour. Rien à redire.
Le lieu est magnifique. Il se dégage de bonnes ondes et on s'y sent très bien. Calme, vue dégagée, piscine, grand terrain, chambres spacieuses. Nous comptons revenir. Merci Kathy (mais aussi Dave pour le barbecue et Jean-Louis pour la Piscine)
Nous avons adoré passer ces quelques jours à Edon ! La configuration de la maison, du jardin et de la piscine est parfaite pour contenter les adultes comme les enfants !
Wir waren absolut begeistert von dem Haus, dem Pool und der Landschaft, Man kann schon etwas entdecken in der näheren Umgebung, Für die Jugendlichen war es etwas zu weit ab von den Städten aber auch die hatten Spaß am Pool.
Die Kommunikation mit dem Besitzern hat bestens geklappt und war sehr zügig.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt.
Cette région était centrale pour se retrouver avec une autre famille. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. Contact avec les propriétaires très agréable. Je recommande.
Nous avons apprécié le logement plein de charme et confortable. Équipement sanitaires et cuisine suffisant et fonctionnel. Petits messages d accueil et 2 bonnes bouteilles. Belle piscine. À recommander
...nous avons retrouvé des crottes de souris dans un lit. Des rongeurs se baladent dans la maison. On les entend la nuit se déplacer dans les cloisons des murs.
Ensuite, nous avons prévenus dès notre arrivée que la fosse débordait, le nécessaire a été fait le dernier jour de notre séjour. Nous avons donc pas pu profiter de la terrasse et pendant toute la semaine et ça sentait la fosse dans la maison.
Sans les crottes de souris dans le lit et l'odeur de fosse septique pendant toute la semaine, ça aurait pu être un beau séjour.
Très belle maison et très bien équipée, nous y avons trouvé tout ce dont nous avions besoin, les propriétaires sont très attentifs au bien être de leurs hôtes. Aucun vis à vis, le cadre est superbe et très reposant. Située à moins de 10 minutes d’un Super U pratique pour les courses et à 30 min d’Angoulême. A cause d’une météo capricieuse la piscine était un peu fraîche mais cela n’a pas empêché les enfants d’en profiter, elle est tres agréable. Nous voyagions avec une PMR pas autonome, il nous a été difficile de trouver une maison adaptée et celle ci l’est tout à fait. Nous reviendrons certainement.
Nous avons passé un merveilleux Noël dans ce gîte très bien équipé et très agréable.
Les chambres, le salon, la mezzanine sont très spacieux. Cela permet à chacun quelque soit l'âge de se trouver un petit coin tranquille.
Nous remercions vivement les gérants et propriétaires pour la qualité de tout !!!!!!!
Dans une Charente gorgée de soleil et de paysages magnifiques quel plaisir de découvrir cet ancien prieuré transformé en gîte. Très belles prestations avec un grand jardin et une superbe piscine. Notre séjour entre amis fut incroyable. Les amateurs de calme et de détente seront conquis.
Super convivial et maison parfaite pour quelques jours entre amis ou famille
Super location
Maison grande et spatieuse avec un long jardin qui rejoint une bonne piscine. Piscine froide malgré le titre piscine chauffee mais sinon endroit parfait
We really enjoyed our stay at haute fayette. The pool and garden are great. An extra parasol would be comfortable cause its a close call to cover the table from the sun when your with 8 people. All the beds were made and there were towels for the pool and showering witch is a great comfort! The vieuw from the master bedroom is stunning!
Un lieu très appréciable, des renseignements et instructions tres précises et les échanges avec le propriétaire très rapides et complets.
Il y a tout sur place et un grand confort pour les plus petits au plus grands.
Nous pourrions y retourner à l'occasion.

Great holiday
We had a great time at Haute Fayette, it was lovely and relaxing and the view was wonderful. The pool was enjoyed by both children and adults. It was very peaceful and a great place to enjoy alfresco dinning.
