Excellent restful stay
Beautiful cottage with everything you need. Use of grounds and pool. Very friendly, helpful, hosts gave lots of advice on things to do and places to visit and nothing was too much trouble. Enclosed garden to the cottage so our dog could be let off lead. Peaceful location, we had a great stay, thank you Jill and Phil.

Lovely quiet gite
A lovely well presented gite in a pretty area. The garden is private and peaceful, the communal pool (one other gite only and owners) excellent with plenty of loungers and shade. Supermarket in Mathe less than 10 minutes. Cognac 25 minutes.

A perfect peaceful family holiday
We had a fantastic 2 weeks staying in the cottage, my wife and I, with our daughter (12) and our Cavachon, Monty. The garden was ideal and safe for Monty. The setting is very rural and quiet which made for a lovely relaxing holiday enjoying family time, games and BBQ's. The pool was a very welcome addition, our daughter was a big fan and we all were in there as often as we could be. It was spotless and the perfect temperature! We had day trips out to Cognac, Saint Jean d'Angley and Royan for sightseeing, lunches & dinners and an overnight in La Rochelle visiting Ile de Re the following day, all recommended. It's a beautiful part of France to explore. The owners Jill & Phil are so welcoming and couldn't be more helpful, the cottage, the barn and garden are kept pristine and they made sure we were having the best time and gave advice and made suggestions on activities. Good size supermarket, fuel station and amenities are close by in Matha, which is a short drive. We have never gone back to the same holiday destination twice, however we will probably return again as this was an ideal break for us all. Many thanks to J & P for everything!

The hosts Phil & Jill go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure you have the most enjoyable holiday possible. The garden and facilities are beautiful and very well maintained. We will definitely be booking a return visit in the future.

What a lovely stay with great hosts.
The gite was exactly what we expected being well equipped and in a great location. Enclosed garden with the gate allowed us to have freedom with our dog. The wider garden area and pool is very well maintained and the pool temperature was just right. The hosts made themselves available, were very helpful and provided lots of very useful information about arrival and location points of interest/restaurants.

Vacances familiales réussies !
Un accueil parfait plein de gentillesse qui augure parfaitement de la suite de notre séjour. Entre la piscine, le ping-pong, le badminton et la pétanque nos journées étaient déjà bien remplies! Ajoutez à cela les visites de villes et monuments de cette magnifique région et les divers parcs de jeux ainsi que quelques restaurants, vous aurez compris que nos vacances ont été parfaites autant pour nos petits enfants que pour nous. Un grand merci aux sympathiques Jill et Phil pour leur disponibilité

Séjour en famille avec chien
Nous avons passons un excellent séjour dans le cottage lamberniere. La famille Adams sont de magnifiques hôtes d'une extrême gentillesse. Ils sont très disponible et agréable. Le logement était formidable et leur domaine encore plus. Toute notre famille, y compris le chien (super adapté aux animaux), a passé de très bonnes vacances. Nous remercions chaleureusement Jill et Phil pour cela. Notre fille gardera également de magnifiques souvenirs grâce aussi à la gentillesse de nos voisins et leurs deux filles.

Un gîte sympathique
Nous avons passé un séjour agréable. Phil et Jill sont très serviables. Les extérieurs sont bien entretenus. La piscine mériterait cependant d'être un peu plus nettoyée. Le gîte est bien aménagé mais le ménage devrait être approfondi à l'arrivée.

Charme et calme
Notre séjour dans le cottage de Jill et Phil a été plein de charme, de sérénité, de calme à une période où nous en avions bien besoin. On se sent bien dans votre cottage, les enfants ont profité du jardin et des jeux ( raquette, pétanque) dans la joie, le chien avait son petit coin de verdure sécurisé, nous avons profité du calme , des soirées devant le poêle... Et les hôtes étaient tout aussi charmants. Merci pour cette semaine et au plaisir de revenir chez vous.

A dream come true!
A little piece of heaven on earth. We thank Jill and Phil for a great vacation. You were perfect hosts. The houses are lovingly furnished and it was a pleasure to live in them. The garden is like a painting, just perfect. Lots of opportunities to pass the time and play games. The pool was great and especially the children an important place. We felt so comfortable and would love to come back immediately!
