We both needed a total break away from jobs and projects, and this gave us everything we wanted. The accommodation has everything you may need, and really comfortable. The pool area, which we had to ourselves, was perfect. Lots of places to sit and relax, an outdoor cooking area, and a lovely herb and kitchen garden you could pick from. We had a lovely welcome from Lydia and Poppy, and communication throughout was great. Both Mark and Lydia made us feel very welcome with helpful guidance on places to visit, bookings and how to get about. The garden is beautiful as is the paddock and all the trees. It was lovely to sit and just listen to the birds. We explored Cognac houses, Jarnac, Cognac and surrounding villages. You will want to leave with some of Mark’s pottery too! Thank you Lydia, Mark, and Poppy for your kindness. It was hard to leave!

A very special place.

This really is a delightful place to stay. It’s located in beautiful surroundings; within easy reach of Cognac and Jarnac. The gite is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The gardens, pool and outdoor kitchen are really special. Mark and Lydia are the best hosts we’ve ever experienced. We will be back!

Glorious oasis near Cognac.

Couldn't have asked for better hosts in Mark and Lydia. Nothing was too much trouble. Gave us excellent suggestions on anything from where to eat, places to visit etc. Even offered to book restaurants and wine tastings for us. The gite was perfect for us as a couple. Plenty of room and also very tastefully decorated. The bathroom was huge with an equally large walk- in shower. The swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and seating area really is something else. It's stunning! Beautifully surrounded with mature trees. If you're after a quiet spot for reading, you can't go wrong relaxing on the double swing seat with the only sound coming from some birdsong. It was pure bliss. Thanks again Lydia and Mark for giving us such a fantastic holiday.

The property looked gorgeous in the photos, and the actuality was if anything even more impressive. It’s hard to articulate the charm of the place. One has absolute privacy in the rustic, raftered outbuilding with a complete well stocked kitchen, and very comfortable bedroom. There are woods around the property and walking paths, and it is close to everything of interest in the region. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Séjour très agréable grâce à de belles prestations dans la propriété (maison, nature , jardin et très belle piscine), et surtout grâce à 2 hôtes discrets et très accueillants. Si vous souhaitez découvrir la région Charente, après vos promenades et visites , le domaine de Mark et Lydia est l’endroit parfait pour vous détendre . Un havre de paix incontournable.

This beautiful gitê is the perfect couples get away. We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was amazing. Mark and Lydia were the best hosts; friendly and available if needed for anything at all. Their lovely dog,Poppy, was an added bonus visiting us frequently. The gitê is well appointed with everything you need and the bedroom and en suite are luxurious. The outdoor space is a winner with an outdoor kitchen for those long summer nights. Everywhere is beautifully clean and the pool a welcome break from the summer sun. It exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back.

What can I say, not only the property is a gem, but also the hosts, who are incredibly nice and helpful. We loved the pool, which we had completely to ourselves and the spacious house with everything you need in there. Don't hesitate to book this one.

Excellent hosts who were really friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable about the area and were happy to book trips for us and advise us on places to visit. A lovely welcome and we felt very relaxed and at home. We are keen to go back again.

We had a fantastic time. Mark and Lydia were both brilliant hosts.We were given their local knowledge on where to visit, where to cycle and ideas on places to eat out.

Thanks both!The property is lovely, the pool is superb, Poppy (the dog) is welcoming and fun to be around.Genuinely we would recommend this very highly.

Superbe séjour chez Lydia et Mark!

Nous avons passé 1 semaine chez Lydia et Mark et tout était parfait : l'accueil très chaleureux, le logement très propre, bien équipé et joliment décoré, les espaces extérieurs sont magnifiques (avec un bonus pour le potager!) et la région offre beaucoup d'activités. La cuisine d'extérieur autour de la piscine est très agréable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le panier de bienvenue fourni par Mark et Lydia ainsi que les indications sur les activités, restaurants et bar aux alentours. Nous ne pouvons que recommander ce logement pour séjourner dans les environs de Cognac !

Un vrai oasis de calme dans la Charente

Les propriétaires (Lydia et Mark) étaient super charmant et sensible à tous nos vœux et besoins. Le gîte est tries bien équipé, de haute qualite et sans faute. Dans un endroit tres calme on peut ‘souffrir’ des oiseaux qui chantent chaque jour et marcher sur un grand terrain sauvage. Avec un superbe piscine (plus un plancha grillé et deuxième cuisine extérieure) et parking privée, ce gîte est vraiment un petit trésor. On va revenir. Grand merci!
