This is a beautiful and spacious property which has been lovingly restored, retaining many of its original features. It is spacious and well equipped and maintained to a high standard. There were 11 of us staying in the main house and converted barn (5 adults, 6 kids). The majority of the children were young adults (13+) and even though the house is in quite a remote location they loved it. There is so much to do at the property. The pool and pool area are beautiful, with plenty of activities to keep all ages occupied. We all loved the spacious grounds (plenty of hide and seek and frizzbee) and in the warm summer evenings we all enjoyed boules and table tennis. There is also a lovely patio area where we could all eat together. The garden is beautiful and we had the pleasure of the company of bees who enjoyed the lavender which was in bloom at our stay. The house is a treasure trove of art and personalisation with plenty of family games to choose from. We ventured out to Angouleme which was wonderful for shopping, eating and architecture and to a few local restaurants. There are large supermarkets nearby and the Boulangerie in Dignac is amazing, fresh bread and cakes galore! We had fun on the kayaks in Angouleme and would recommend a trip down the river. Antonia was an amazing host, thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful property. It really did feel like we were at a retreat for our 2 weeks of heaven.
