Couldn’t fault a thing!

Rich and Mel are fabulous hosts and the gite and the facilities were outstanding. We were on an initial fact find trip for a full time move next year and we couldn’t have asked for a more helpful and knowledgeable host than Mel (Rich had to go back to the UK for the week). Can’t recommend this place enough 😊

Perfect location for house hunting.

We enjoyed our 10 day stay here, whilst we house hunted in the area. Despite the weather, (it was cold and grey, which Mel said was unusual for March), we found the location of the gites really peaceful, and only a few minutes drive from a large Super U, for all your daily needs. The pool is huge, but too early in the season for us to enjoy. Mel and Richard are great hosts, and are on hand should you need anything, or to pick their brains ref moving to the area. Mel also went to great lengths to make sure my elderly father was comfortable, by switching us to a larger gite with an ensuite each. I can't really think of any negatives, although a pizza cutter, (couldn't find one), and a dishcloth to be able to wipe down the stainless steel kitchen surfaces would have been handy. Thanks both for a lovely stay!

Wonderful Gite

We had a wonderful stay at Melanie's place. It was easy to get to, very spacious, warm, clean and accurate to its description. The hosts greeted us personally and made sure that we settled in well, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the large sofa and log burner, a lovely, relaxing, way to spend the time on a chilly autumn evening. We would definitely recommend this place, and look forward to returning ourselves soon.

About the host

Hosted by melanie grainge

We have fully renovated this property and hopefully,
this shows in the workmanship..It has been a labour of love, with lots of sweat, laughter and tears !!We live here in sunny west France all year and there is no going back. The house and surrounding countryside teams with wildlife, and every day is a complete pleasure, a stark contrast to the North east of Engalnd where we both grew up.

Why they chose this property

Easy access to Poitiers/Angouleme/Niort/La Rochelle/Ruffec
Ideal for house hunting & holiday luxury

What makes this property unique

Superb views from your terrace that overlook the pool, very friendly area, lots of wildlife and nature, still rural France at its best. Easy cycling and walking to local town, for bars and restaurants
