The house has been beautifully refurbished, with every room tastefully decorated and furnished and all retaining its rustic charm. It is very well equipped in every sense, both for sleeping (very very comfortable beds and luxurious bedding), cooking, and keeping the kids entertained (pool, table tennis, darts, bikes, TV/wifi (when we allowed them), and giant fire pit). We enjoyed exploring the local area - Verteuil including the Chateau with Sebastian's Tour, local rivers for kayaking and swimming, tree top adventures, as well as exploring further afield to Angouleme, Cognac, and Aubeterre sur Dronne.
Steve and Marguerite, the local key holders, could not have been more charming and helpful, as were Nick and Tina, the owners.
So with this gorgeous house, great location and some good friends, this was a truly memorable holiday.
