The gite was beautiful and very homely. The kids LOVED the pool. We enjoyed numerous day trips including kayaking, mini golf and visiting local towns and markets. Aubeterre stood out as our favourite and everyone loved the underground church! Any queries we had about the property were answered by Stu immediately and Malcolm the on-site support was quick to respond. A great holiday had by all.

Magical spot!

From the moment I enquired about The property Stew was incredibly helpful and responsive. Thank you. The property was stunning and so so clean. The location was out of this world and from the moment we drove up through the sunflowers work and the rush of real life disappeared. We cannot thank Stew and his family enough for such a perfect location and property to hold our special family holiday with family from three different continents coming together. If we are allowed! We would not hesitate to book this property again and one day dream of buying something similar - thanks Stew

Beyond expectations

We stayed for 10 days at the end of July; from the time we booked, the communication with Stu (the owner) was great. On arrival, we were so impressed - the property is even better than the photos imply. Light and airy but homely not clinical, definitely not the "holiday let" feel. It has very recently had a new kitchen which is fabulous. So well equiped with more than enough crockery and cutlery etc. We were able to prepare food as if we were at home, which is quite rare in a rental property. A choice of dining areas, inside and out was perfect for some hit and miss weather. The living space had 3 large, comfortable sofas; plenty of seating for all guests and a very sociable area. Comfortable beds, quality bedding, plenty of clothes storage, fans etc. Everything you could need for a great nights sleep. The entire house was spotlessly clean, the quality of everything was excellent and there were many well received extras like a board game selection and the cooling cubes. Finally the pool. This had just been converted to a salt water pool which we hadn't experienced before - surprisingly good! A good size wiyh plenty of loungers. The views are wonderful and because of the property design, you feel very private even when next door is occupied. Malcolm, the property manager, is great. So friendly and helpful. I would whole heartedly recommend this property for a wonderfully relaxing holiday.

Beautiful house. Nice villages in the neighborhood

Great house. Well maintained. Beautiful pool. Aubeterre and Ribérac are great to visit. A little further Brantôme is a must go. There is a neighbours house that was not used when we were there, but is something to consider.

Parfait pour se relaxer

Maison propre, bien équipée et très bien entretenue correspondant parfaitement aux photos. Le propriétaire est très réactif et très attentionné. Tout est fait pour que l'on se sente bien. S'agissant de l'extérieur, la piscine est très belle et très agréable. Je confirme qu'elle est à usage privatif. La bâtisse se compose de deux maisons. La maison mitoyenne a sa propre piscine. Elle était inoccupée pendant notre séjour. Seul petit bémol : il est dommage que la terrasse ne soit pas couverte et qu'il n'y ait pas de salon de jardin. Cependant nous avons beaucoup apprécié passer du temps sur les hamacs.

Wunderschön mit kleinen Abstrichen

Die Lage des Hauses ist einfach nur schön. Leider hat das Haus keine Klimaanlage, wie angegeben sondern lediglich Verdunstungswürfel, welche nicht effektiv zu kühlen vermögen. Einen lieben Dank an Malcolm, welcher sich hilfsbereit um die Gäste kümmert.

verblijf 19 tot 28 juli 2020

We hadden een zalige vakantie in jullie woning. Prachtige omgeving, mooie uitzichten, adembenemende zonsondergang en sterrenhemel, verfrissend zwembad, zalige temperaturen. Leuke uitstapjes in de buurt o.a. kajak, hoogteparcours, marktjes, Aubeterre sur Dronne met zijn leuke winkeltjes en terrasjes. Ideaal : spar en bakker heel dichtbij, maar toch iets te ver te voet. We bezochten ook Saint-Emilion in de buurt met de prachtige wijngaarden en gingen langs bij een cognacboer. Tip: de handleiding i.v.m. alarm van het zwembad was niet altijd duidelijk en ging vaak af, ook 's nachts. Ook het feit dat we buren hadden, was voor ons een verrassing. We hadden een alleenstaand huis verwacht. Dit stond niet vermeld bij de online reservering. Het was echter geen enkel probleem. We kunnen deze prachtige locatie en verblijf aan iedereen aanraden. Ook de communicatie tussen gastheer en ons verliep heel vlot.

Prachtig weids zicht!

Gezellige woning met een prachtig zicht over de naastgelegen velden. De locatie is goed voor een bezoek aan Périgueux, Brantôme, Aubeterre, Angoulème,... Het zwembad is wel niet verwarmd, dus voor echte kleine kindjes soms te koud.

Beautiful Views

We had a fantastic stay at Les Etangs. A wonderful property with fabulous views all round. It was spotless on arrival & we didn’t have any problems throughout our whole holiday. The pool was lovely, even though a bit cold - we braved going in a few times & the children loved it. The surrounding area is one we’ve visited plenty of times, it’s a place we never get tired of seeing. I highly recommend a stay here, it does not disappoint!! Leanne M, Kent.

Spacious, well-equipped property in a lovely setting

We had stayed in the local area over many years, but never in this particular part. It was lovely to be so close to Aubeterre which we visited a couple of times in our trip. The house is clean and modern and very well equipped. It is deceptively spacious too. We were there in September, after the sunflowers had gone, so it would have probably been even nicer when they are out. We did find it rather windy (again the sunflowers may have shielded this). The weather was pleasant though not really warm enough to spend a lot of time in the pool! The house is located about a 20 minute walk from the nearest village, which is probably our only real criticism - it would have been nice to be able to wander in more frequently. The house is semi-detached and we had neighbours for part of our stay, but there isn't any noise transfer between the houses, so it feels fairly private.

Lovely house in gorgeous part of France

House was very clean, comfortable and exactly as described, with everything we needed for a great holiday. The location is in beautiful countryside, and was perfect as a base for discovering the many beautiful towns of the Charente and Dordogne regions - we had wonderful day trips to Saint Emilion, Bergerac, Angouleme and Brantôme, and Aubeterre (officially classed as one of the most beautiful villages of France) is right on the doorstep. We had a wonderful week at Les Etangs, and I would thoroughly recommend this property.

Idyllic Location with wonderful views

The property is located just outside St Severin but close enough to nip to the shops. 5 mins up the road is Aubeterre which is beautiful. We recommend the market on a Sunday and also the underground church is intetesting. The river beach is a wonderful location to swim and play all sorts of recreations such volleyball, bowls etc. One tip is take your own drinks as they are expensive at the cafe. The house is clean and has everything you need for a large group. Three showers was very helpful. The kitchen has all the utensils and the bar b que is large enough for a big group. The property comes into its own from 4 o'clock where the sun shines on the back of the house, the children had plenty of space to run around and the adults can sit out and watch the sun go down. The pool is nice and clean and alarmed which is good for families. The weather does get windy so make sure your lilo's are weighted down. I was seen rescuing a unicorn from 2 fields away !!

Beautiful gite and grounds with stunning views.

We loved our stay at Les Etangs to the point where we didnt want to come home!. It is in a beautiful setting and anyone wanting a totally relaxing holiday this is the place to come. It is a 20 min walk to the village of St Severin where you have all the amenities that you require. The property was spotless and well maintained. Margarete, the owner was amazing - organising a surprise birthday cake for my husband and bottles of fizz. Having the pool was an added bonus. I would recommend this gite for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in beautiful and peaceful surroundings.

A very good and well appointed holiday home for those who want complete quiet and relaxation. Not too deep a pool either for those of us less confident swimmers !

Wonderful peaceful holiday

Les Etangs is a wonderful property set in quiet and peaceful spot in lovely part of France. The property was spotless and the pool was cleaned regularly throughout our two week stay. It is perfect for family's who just want to chill out or use as a base to explore the surrounding towns and villages - on this visit we didn't do much exploring as the pool and surrounding views tempted us to just to stay and relax. We did spend some time kayaking in Auberterre and visiting the market in Riberac. Margarete is a very attentive owner who promptly responded to emails before, during and after our stay. I would certainly recommend this property to family and friends.

A reat place to stay for young and old alike

A converted barn set in beautiful countryside, off the beaten track yet close to good amenities in St Severin. A well maintained pool and in addition great swimming in local river and lakes. Tennis and golf 3km and wonderful cycling country. The house was surrounded by fields of sunflowers and we loved sitting on the terrace with a glass in hand watching the sun go down.

Fantastic location for family holiday.

We had a wonderful week in this stunning location. Our four girls aged 10 to 19 (plus a friend) loved the garden and pool and there is plenty to do locally. The house is beautifully renovated and equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets from the terrace as well as the abundant local wildlife. This is a great market region for those who like browsing stalls and buying local food products. We went canoeing, walking and the local village offers a lovely variety of small shops for those days when it is hard to leave the pool. I would highly recommend Les Etangs and we hope to return.
