Had a wonderful stay. We all loved the pool and the Gîte is perfect.

All sad to be leaving to return to the real world.

Well we're here again third year in a row!! but for two weeks this time.

Martin & family made us feel as welcome as ever & nothing is ever too much trouble.

The Gîte really is “home from home”.

We love it here so much we just had to book again for next year!!

Thank you so much,

Davis family.

Thank you so much for a lovely holiday!

We had 2 great weeks at Escape to Charente – We really enjoyed the fab pool & gardens, the kids loved the playground & the goats & horses.

There is great space for all the kids to run around & explore.

Thanks to Martin & Kirsty, nothing was ever a problem from supplying bikes for us all to explore the beautiful countryside & for all the ideas for our holiday & for the food supplied. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks again.

We braved our first holiday abroad as a family of 4 & survived unscathed! The Gîte was extremely comfortable with all the extra touches that make it homely – especially the comfy beds & good towels.

With a 1 & a 5 year old we needed to find things to do & managed to enjoy a number of different experiences.

Pizzas from the hosts were a lifesaver & delicious.

We had a lovely, sunny week in very comfortable surroundings – so peaceful & quiet.

Erin & Grace & Conor loved the pool & play area. Great covered area by the pool for BBQs.

We have had a great week here, thanks very much! Kids loved the play area, ponies, donkeys, goats & pool ( as did we ), not to mention the tractor.

Thanks for a lovely stay & your hospitality. We had a lovely stay in an area with plenty to do for the children and for us too!

A wonderful family holiday, everything we needed was to be found in the Gite, Kirsty and Martin made sure we were very comfortable! Thank you.

I feel very strong to have to mention that 2 of our 3 children have health problems and severe special needs, they settled perfectly and loved every minute of their holiday, at no point did Kirsty and her family make us feel uncomfortable with their noise.

A wonderful location, a wonderful Gite, perfect weather, very friendly family.

Perfect holiday, see you next year!!

Bell family.

It's a truly beautiful area with lots to do and see. We decided to take as much in as we could. As we didn't get the full two weeks because of family commitments we still feel there are lots more we didn't see!

Had a lovely stay, Gite lovely – thank you!

Tucker family.

A beautiful place to relax and unwind.

We have thoroughly enjoyed staying here, a home from home but with much better weather!! The countryside, villages & towns around here are also beautiful, all in all a great experience.

We have had a great time here. Martin and Kirsty were great with nothing being too much trouble. The Gite was stocked with everything we could ever need, no mean feat when we have a one year old!!!

Freddie will miss all the animals but especially Thelma and Louise.

Thanks for everything.

Adam, Clare and Freddie.

A wonderful Gite in a gorgeous / relaxing location - we thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay. Martin and his family are fantastic hosts - very friendly and extremely helpful. Fabulous, fantastic, friendly, fun holiday had by the entire family. The children will miss feeding the animals.

We have had a wonderful relaxing two weeks here in Charente. The gite is beautifully furnished and much thought has gone into it. Great attention to detail such as UK & French sockets, a well equipped kitchen etc. The boys have loved the pool and animals, in particular the regular visits from George and Matilda!!- Afraid we couldn't bring ourselves to squirt them!!

This is a fantastic location - peaceful surroundings but with plenty to do and visit nearby.

Sophie, Sam, Oscar & Benjamin.

Beautiful gite in a wonderful setting, so quite and peaceful unlike Aaron (6) and Charlie (2) – sorry!! The gite is very comfortable and very well equipped and the family are the perfect hosts. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We've had a great week so much so we've already booked for next year. Would recommend visits to 'la vallee des signes' (monkey world) & 'Les geants du ciel' (birds of prey in a medieval town).

Thank you so much, John, Kay, Aaron and Charlie.

-

A truly idyllic place - a perfect place for all the family. Was so relaxing to know that everything was so safe for our 21 month old daughter, but was lots to interest her & she never tired of visiting the animals, going to the swings followed by a swim in the beautiful pool!The pizzas and food was an added bonus. Thank you for providing such a relaxing and beautifully finished Gite in such a tranquil setting.

We have had a fantastic 2 weeks in your beautiful Gite which has been tastefully renovated. Beautiful surroundings & superb weather, the pool certainly helped to keep us cool, when it was so hot outside. We cannot thank you enough for your friendly hospitality & making us feel so welcome. We will certainly return again next year & recommend it to our friends & family who wish to have a relaxing, peaceful holiday. Good luck to you all & carry on the good work!!

Wonderful holiday! Fantastic accommodation in what is truly beautiful countryside. From the pool to the bikes, from the animals to the river walks to the home-made pizzas! Thanks for ordering in the weather to boot! We have enjoyed this holiday immensely and thank you for your warm hospitality and friendly welcome. Can't wait to share this place with our friends & family back home - providing we get preferential booking for next year !! Wishing you all the very best for the future Simon, Karen, Samuel, Daniel, Eli & Zoe.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your gite. In particular the pool is superb, the location is very quiet & relaxing & we very much appreciate your hospitality. We would certainly recommend as a holiday to get away from the stress of everyday life. Thanks - Anne & Martin

Comfy beds, love the 'White Company' linen, home from home comfort. We have trained George the ginger peril to be a good & well behaved 'chat' with the help of the water squirter - next guests, keep up the good work! Will certainly recommend to friends and family.

Bon Vacances - Alex & Paul

We really enjoyed our 3 weeks in your lovely gite. It is so peaceful here very relaxing and equipped with everything needed for a great family holiday. Beautiful pool and surroundings, very hospitable family, well worth a visit.

It was a great pleasure to spend a week in your gite. Thanks again for everything.

Regards - Anne-Sophie.

Stunning, tranquil surroundings lead onto the gite, which is beautifully renovated, stylishly furnished and with a very welcoming family of hosts. Very child and parent friendly. Much thought has gone into preparing the accommodation to cater for all requirements. Charente has much to offer, from walks through fields of sunflowers, to paddling in rivers and eating out at the many restaurants. We strongly recommend a visit.

All the best - Francesca, Adam, Imogen & Daniel.

Warm and friendly hospitality, with every convenience provided for; excellent converted barn accommodation that strikes just the right balance between modern and homely; and most importantly, beautiful peaceful surroundings- the views of huge skies and open countryside from the pool are something else! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone seeking a relaxing break. Thank you for a lovely stay, and good luck with your venture.
