Amazing property
We have just spent the best two weeks in this lovely renovated property. It was everything we had wished for and more. The setting was beautiful and so peaceful. We enjoyed walking down to the river and taking the bac to Chanier every day for bread. The house itself has been finished to a very high quality and had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the covered outside area. The pool was fantastic and the perfect way to finish off a day spent sightseeing. Thanks so much!

Is a lovely place only downside for the time of year pool is not heated .
Only downside is pool not heated so couldn't go in it until late afternoon when it had warmed up a bit which was difficult to explain to a 3 year old. Other then that the property was excellent well equipped and full of character and colour scheme was brilliantly matched. Would definitely recommend and return again. Thankyou Russ.

Family Summer holiday 2019
As a party of 9 (4 adults, 5 children) we couldn’t fault the property! Peaceful location and perfect house - well equipped and very clean. The pool was such a bonus - it was very hot when we stayed and we spent lots of time in the pool cooling off! The surrounding area has lots to offer - we visited the towns of Saintes and Cognac as well as the beaches at Royan and Côte Sauvage - all of which were really fun days out! We all highly recommend the house!

Spacious, well equipped, perfect retreat!
Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate everyone comfortably. Kitchen is modern and well equipped with large fridge and and extra one in the utility room with additional separate freezer. Living space is big and airy. Outside dining area is well shaded for those hot afternoons chilling out looking at the fantastic view. The pool is a very short distance away from the house, it's got its own toilet and sink facilities and we all enjoyed it. There is a lovely restaurant in nearby village Courcoury and great creperie in nearby village of Chaniers where there is a little supermarket for your supplies and you can take a little ferry across the river! Nearby Saintes has loads of restaurants and shops and larger supermarket. We really enjoyed our stay and would stop here again! Great communication with the owner too. We had fantastic weather which was a bonus.

Lovely home, great rural, quiet setting.
Great house for large family. Exceptionally clean, with welcome basket of goodies. We all thoroughly enjoyed home and pool for quick refreshing dips, sadly weather not great. So many wonderful sites to visit and many great brochures at house for recommendations. Great place to visit!!!! Thank Russ for a great stay.

Wonderful week!!
Second time at this house, our family of four and friends' family of five. Days spent swimming in the pool or fishing in the river in Chaniers (take the ferry!) Day trips to Saintes and Cognac highly recommended. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worst on the last day, which scuppered our plans for a boat cruise in Saintes, but its always nice to have something to look forward to for next time. Evenings spent around the BBQ on the terrace, listening to cicadas, watching the deer emerge from the forest and then being entertained by the bats. Best of all, kids and adults alike making wonderful memories of time well spent. House is really well equipped, everything an extended group like ours needed to cater for itself and stay comfortable, lovely welcome pack on arrival (the la Goudale beer was a particular favourite and subsequently sought out in the supermarket!). Pool was warm (ish!) and clean, we literally couldn't keep the kids out of it. Thanks to Russ the owner for great communication during the booking process and also to Marie Pierre for efficient communication with us on arrival, all went very much to plan despite the long journey from the UK.

Excellent accomodation, location etc
Excellent accommodation, you name it this property pretty much has it. We were a party of 4 this year but it can easily accommodate a larger group without you feeling on top of each other. The location of the property is fantastic, very peaceful, lots to see and do locally and in the surrounding areas. Both the owner and his team in France are friendly and extremely helpful. One great thing about the property is that the cost of the cleaning is included, which is great as this means you can relax right up until the time you leave. We have provisionally booked to return in 2019 and 2020!

Delightfully peaceful and tranquil
We had a wonderful stay at this farmhouse, just outside Saintes. We were attending our son's wedding in August 2016 and booked this property which was well appointed, spacious and situated in a quiet rural setting, ideally suiting our needs. The farmhouse was extremely well-equipped and we wanted for nothing. Most of our evenings were spent dining on the terrace, with a bottle of local French wine, enjoying the tranquillity of our surroundings and watching the wildlife. The highlight for us was the marvellous walled swimming pool which was well used by all our party including our grandchildren and we felt confident in the knowledge that all the safety requirements had been met. From the outset we found Russ, the owner, to be available and helpful in every way from the beginning of the booking process to the end of our stay. We would highly recommend this farmhouse for a holiday destination and certainly we hope to return ourselves.

Authentic farm
"Les cerises" is an authentic "Charentais" farm which is nicely renovated and very well equipped. Especially the kitchen is fantastic with its oven. Also the fantastic terras and the surrounding grounds we loved. We did stay for 2 weeks late september. The first week was very warm and therefore we used the lovely pool several times. The services from the french Lady for the owner were perfect. The villages Courcoury and Chaniers are reel French and very quiet. The Charente maritime is a lovely Departement. Authentic French and with an interesting coast.
