We loved this house - itâs huge with lots of rooms and great spaces for meals etc. We loved the pool and garden and the location was great for exploring the local area and delicious restaurants and a shop within walking distance. Will definitely visit again!
Beautifully restored and decorated property. Children enjoyed the pool/table football/table tennis and rope swings.
We really enjoyed the peaceful location, yet easy stroll or cycle to the village with its ample amenities. Nice and quiet/safe enough to send the older children to the bakery by themselves for the morning bread example.
We really enjoyed Aubeterre and, outside of the town, the popular river beach. Also the base at Nabinaud with its small accrobranche trail, maze, river beach, mill and restaurant also a hit with everyone. We enjoyed cycling in this area too.
We have now been to stay here several times during the summer holidays and it is perfect for 2 or 3 families holidaying together. It is very private and peaceful, yet you have the necessary amenities at the end of the lane.
The house is well equipped and functional. My favourite things are: the south facing pool and large garden overlooking the sunflower field, the big kitchen ideal for group cooking and the outside lean to, so you can still enjoy being outside if it rains. And for a Londoner like me, nothing beats lying on the lawn with a drink in hand, gazing up into the infinite night sky.
The children (7 and 6) love the river lakes of Le Jamaye (?) and Aubettere.

Les points forts : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
This was a family booking involving three generations. The house was flexible enough to accommodate everyone in comfort and we loved the family kitchen. It had a great collection of cook books. Unusually there were three fridges. The boulangerie and small super market were within walking distance which meant that those without cars could go for bread and croissants! It was very child friendly and the shallow end of the pool was ideal for the under 3 years old of our party.
The House Manager and his wife looked after us very well and responded quickly to our requests.
We had fireworks, a fair, church bells, a full moon, dramatic thunderstorm and spectacular dawns with views over the mist and fields to the steeple of the St Severin church.
We ate outside all the time with a lime tree providing ample shade.
All in all just what was needed after three years of not being in France.
mooie boerderij met zwembad in een rustige omgeving
Wij hadden een leuke tijd in in de knap gerenoveerde boerderij. Alle faciliteiten waren aanwezig om een onstspannen vakantie door te brengen. Het ochtend wandelingetje naar de lokale bakker is een echte aanrader.
Wir haben zu sechst eine Woche in diesem wundervollen Haus verbracht und sind alle begeistert. Es ist noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Man merkt dem Haus an, dass es mit Liebe restauriert wurde. Es ist sehr gerĂ€umig und der groĂe Walnussbaum im Garten bietet angenehmen Schatten an heiĂen Tagen. Das Dörfchen ist sehr ruhig, hat aber die nötigen GeschĂ€fte in FuĂreichweite und wenn wir Abwechslung wollten, sind wir in das 10 km entfernte Aubeterre gefahren, wo es einen Fluss zum Baden und Kanu/Kajakfahren, eine herrliche Aussicht, nette Gassen, zwei schöne Kirchen, kleine GeschĂ€fte und verschiedene Restaurants gibt.
The house is very charming, the garden and swimmingpool are perfect for small children (and dog).
A 5 minute walk to the supermarket, bakery, restaurant,⊠and lots of things to do in the area. (Saint Severin is very calm, Aubeterre and Angouleme are more animated).
We definitely had a lovely week!

The area is very rural and nice. The house is not in a proper state for holding 2 families for a vacation. Everything in the house is nearly broken, broken and dirty, has nothing to do with being old farm house. It is old farm house with low quality facility that have been poorly maintained and cleaned.
Freezer not working, gas hob some of it working. The gas container is inside the house which is safety hazard, unclean dishes and utensils, second TV which was not operable.
Towels dirty and worn out. Generally sense of neglect.
The owner is communicative but tries to convice it is ok, in some cases tried to fix, by replace dirty towels with wet towels (...) just stay at home, it will be easier.
The rooms are not in the same level, some have too low bars which is a safety hazard, other room the floor is bent (yes bent!) and it feels as if you are not stable while walking. For sitting in the house for a meal there is not enough chairs. I can go on on ...i hope you get the point whoever it is.
We had an exceptionally nice stay in Nickâs house. The house is beautifully decorated and the garden offers many cozy places in the shade and in the sun. Service was great, one day after arrival the manager came to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. After the first week the pool and the Garden were cleaned, so that we felt very comfortable for the whole two weeks. Highly recommended!
The farmhouse is absolutely perfect. We recently spent a wonderful week relaxing as a family. There is a rustic charm about the property with a spectacular view across the countryside and down to the village.
In doors the rooms are large, spacious and cool downstairs with character bedrooms.
Outside is a generous garden and a pool with a view. There is a covered terrace for relaxing and dining and plenty of seating to enjoy the afternoon sun and views.
The location was perfect too. Five minutes walk into the village with a great local Bistro/restaurant and a pizza/burger place serving a full English breakfast on a Sunday morning.
Ideally situated for easy access to Aubeterre sur dronne and many other wonderful places to visit.
Highly recommend you stay here for the perfect french holiday
We stayed here with out family of 7 - 6 kids and one baby - and had a wonderful team. The farmhouse was great - plenty of space, good facilities and a great pool.
The local village was nearby, a lovely cafe, and great bar. The Spar was also in walking distance. Lots of things to do in the area. A fantastic break all round, and we hope to go back again one day.
Clean, friendly and secluded property on the outskirts of small village/town.
We echo all previous 5star reviews. All that youâd expect from a typical French property. Excellent location and facilities. It is semi detached and has neighbours but absolutely no intrusion or bother. It is a private location with lovely covered terrace for evening and daytime relaxing.
Brilliant holiday so different to the usual week in Spain
My family and I had one of our best holidays ever. The farmhouse was perfect for everyone from my 2 year old grandson to my 26 year old daughter and her partner. Would definitely holiday there again.
We stayed as two families in this stunning property which can only be described as perfect! We loved everything about it, especially the beautiful outside areas where you can relax and enjoy the amazing view to the village of Saint Severin.
The house was well equipped and as such, we hardly ever left the property! However if you do want to venture out, you can access many other places such as Aubeterre and St Emilion, both of which are worth a visit.
We will definitely visit again, highly recommended!! We are missing our little piece of French paradise already :((
We have just returned after a fantastic relaxing week at the house. Our boys (2 &5) couldn't get enough of the pool and garden. We loved the area and will definitely repeat the holiday. Thank you
I stayed with my family and friends during the summer holidays. My daughter and her friends had endless fun playing in the gardens and pool - it was sometimes difficult to persuade them to take a trip to one if the river beaches nearby as they were enjoying themselves at the house so much. This meant the adults were also able to sit back and relax.
Evenings were spent cooking and enjoying our meals outside as the sun set or around the large table in the kitchen area.
The rooms were clean and well maintained and the kids could wind down after a long day having fun in the living room - the table football was really useful.
Great accommodation - easy transfer from Bordeaux airport and lots of local attractions to keep you occupied.
It's definitely on the list for another visit.
