We had a wonderful stay here. Pamela sent us really detailed arrival information. The house is lovely and clean, and we loved the pool. We enjoyed chatting with Pamela and Michael, who were both very friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed trips to Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, St Emillion, the cartoon museum in Angoulême and Blaye.
We stayed for a family holiday, family of six, us and two boys (aged 10 and 13 years) plus grandparents.
The house is beautiful, spacious and comfortable living/dining room and kitchen with everything you need. We cooked most evenings, everything easy to use, and had a bbq. Lovely furniture and garden furniture. Pretty bedrooms with exposed beams, we took the bedrooms on one side of the house with the boys and my parents had the bedrooms on the other side of the house, with their own shower room.
The garden area is great, we played cricket in the evenings, by the fruit trees. We also made fruit crumbles!
The pool is big and a lovely heat, even though the weather was changeable, the cover kept the heat in overnight. The pool lights also made it great for evening pool fun.
We visited the local zip line park, which was amazing and challenging, the boys were very impressed. The Dordogne Archery and air guns is highly recommended. Also we visited Aubeterre which was pretty, the cave/church which was interesting and the lake beach. The Boheme crazy golf was also funny.
A great holiday home, thank you.
A very special place, which we highly recommend. Photos can't do this wonderful place justice!
Rolling fields of sunflowers and big blue skies envelop this idyllic old mill and the leafy dell in which it sits. Hosts Pamela and Michael have done a superb job of renovating their summer home and the adjacent L'Etable into an oasis of tranquility. As others have said, the L'Etable is tastefully decorated and furnished, and very well equipped. We stayed during a heat wave (mid to high 30s) so the floor standing fans were very much appreciated. We all enjoyed spending time in the pool, which sits above the house and L'Etable...views are spectacular, especially in the evening as the sun sets.
We couldn't have asked for more welcoming hosts. They were happy to provide recommendations of where to eat, and places to visit. We enjoyed an afternoon canoeing on the Dronne; a visit to Aubeterre (which is a must) and it's underground church, Sunday market and Poterie de la Passiflore; a trip to the inflatables at Plan d'Eau de La Grande Prairie, a cognac tour at Chateau des Plassons; a stroll around Chateau de la Mercerie; and a lovely evening meal at Le Lavalette in Villebois Lavalette.
Thank you Pamela, Michael and Lawrence...our family of seven (including 5 kids aged 8 through 19) had a wonderful stay in your beautiful L'Etable this summer.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Lovely and very well equipped house, beautiful and calm surroundings. The hosts were very helpful, always making sure we had what we needed. We will surely would love to have another holiday at this great place.
We had a fantastic holiday all thanks to our wonderful hosts who always went beyond to help us . We arrived very late and they gave us something to eat , they helped with cooking events and eateries. The accommodation was amazing . The kitchen had everything you need and more . An extra addition was the beautiful friendly cats that would visit us every day . Thank you Pamela, Michael and Laurence for having us .
Pamela & Michael were welcome hosts, sharing their local knowledge and helping us to book some lovely places to eat.
The property is beautifully converted and was spacious, airy and cool.
The pool was fantastic, a big hit with the teenagers.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you to the family for allowing us to share such a special place.
We really loved our stay here. The property is very tastefully renovated, has plenty of space and a great kitchen to cook in. The pool area and property grounds were also a big hit with the children. We even made an apple and plum crumble with fruit from the orchard!
Très bon séjour chez Pamela et Michael. La maison est très belle, confortable et fait l'objet d'une très belle rénovation. La piscine est grande et a une vue extraordinaire sur la campagne. Nos hôtes ont été très accueillants et nous ont donné des conseils sur les sites alentours. A recommander
Je ne peux que recommander chaudement cette location. La maison est magnifique, spacieuse, très propre, décorée de très bon goût, très confortable. Elle est également très très bien équipée. Nous étions 3 couples avec 3 enfants en bas âge, la maison était parfaite. Les propriétaires sont adorables et très accueillants. Plusieurs choses à visiter aux alentours.
Lovely house with everything you need, great pool and very helpful hosts with two lovely cats! In peaceful countryside in a very pretty area of France. Struggled having no air con but apparently we experienced unusually hot weather when we were there!
A beautifully restored and tastefully furnished property which is deceptively spacious with lots of space and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lovely large swimming pool with wonderful views over the countryside. We are a family of 5 (kids 9, 13 & 15) and everyone loved the house. Plenty of space outside for garden games and relaxing etc. We enjoyed barbecues, cycling the quiet roads, visiting nearby Aubeterre with its market, troglodyte church and fab swimming lake with park and cafe etc. We also visited Brantome about an hour away which was a very pretty town and we had fun canoeing around it! Pamela the owner was most helpful both before and during our stay which was the icing on the cake! Hope to return sometime and would certainly recommend.

Beautiful house in amazing surroundings
We had the most brilliant holiday thanks to the gorgeous house and pool. We travelled with children and grandparents and it suited us all perfectly.
Pamela and Michael have created a wonderful place to stay and gave us some great recommendations on where to visit.
We honestly can’t fault the house and pool area, the best we’ve stayed in.
We will definitely book again.

Beautifully renovated property with large pool in a peaceful location.
Our family of 5 (parents and 3 teenagers) had a wonderful holiday in this property. The barn has been sympathetically renovated with all modern ammenities combined with open brick and beam decor. The pool is large and heated with obligatory adherence to French laws on safety. Great communication with owner who ensured everything ran smoothly including provision of lunch on our arrival which enabled our children to jump straight into the pool! As seasoned villa renters (17 years of experience), we would highly recommend this holiday home for families looking for a peaceful break in a beautiful setting.
