14th Century Dog Friendly Priory and Mediaeval Tower
(!) The pool is only available from June till October.
Mediaeval property with character. Swimming Pool. BBQ and fire pit. Peaceful countryside with lovely views. Close to the old town of Parthenay and the wonder that is Puy Du Fou. Close to Poitiers for good travel connections.
Unfortunately our stay at the priory did not meet our expectations. I had seen the house listed on another site and it sounded incredible. Sadly it feels like this house is at the end of its life. It is quite run down in places and parts of it are dirty and unsafe. Room fans covered in dust. Plug sockets unattached to walls. Pool was unusable due to an algae issue and not having enough chemicals. Mice in the tower. Host was very responsive however but the pool issue was not sorted and this was a massive disappointment for the whole 18 of us, of which 8 were children.
