Didn't want to leave
Idyllic setting in a tiny village surrounded by farmland. Plenty of walks with very little traffic to worry about. Small town nearby with a couple of restaurants and a supermarket. Historic town of Cognac under an hour away with plenty of shops and bars. The property itself is superb. Very well kitted out with everything that you could possibly need. It’s hard to imagine a more perfect place for a bit of quiet time and a place to relax. Heated pool and a games room with snooker table table-tennis, books and games This place really does have everything including high speed internet Large private garden, absolutely perfect for the dog; Then there is the jewel in the crown which is the lovely hosts living next door Amanda & Robin have been doing this for over a decade and do everything possible to make your stay enjoyable. We had car trouble and Amanda fixed us up with a local mechanic and drove us into town whilst our vehicle was being fixed. The only thing that we did wrong was to book for a week when we would have liked to stay for a fortnight at least.

Relaxing Break
Well equipped property for self catering holiday. Short drive from local supermarket. Ideal for couples wanting to relax and chill. ?Pine martins in dry lining of walls at night were quite noisy on occasions and this was reported to owners. Noise abated somewhat by using supplied fan and plug in deterrent. Regular contact with host, who was on hand if needed. Photos on website out of date as gardens not as well kept as in photos.

Très agréable parenthèse au calme
Petite parenthèse au calme loin de tout, propriétaires charmants et attentionnés( encore merci pour les figues et les tomates du jardin ...), très jolie rénovation de la petite maison bien équipée et décorée avec goût et son jardin bien clôturé... A savoir la piscine n est pas sur le terrain du gîte mais un peu à l écart sur celui des propriétaires avec qui on partage cette dernière.

Perfect!
We enjoyed a brilliant holiday staying at "La Petite Maison". The house is beautiful, with plenty of room and storage for us (and our dog) with everything you need, as well as plenty of space outside with a large covered area and a secure garden. The rural location is fantastic, quiet and surrounded by nature, great for walking, but also just a short drive to amenities, markets, villages and cities. Thank you Amanda and Robin - wonderful hosts and wonderful people. We would strongly recommend "La Petite Maison" for a relaxing and tranquil holiday and very much look forward to visiting again!

A great two weeks our hosts were fantastic and the accommodation and area was lovely. We were made so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We would re visit again but next time fly down as we had a very long car journey.

The property is in a pretty hamlet - very close to Chef Boutonne for all amenities, butcher, banks, bakers, supermarket, restaurants and shops. Amanda & Robin were most helpful. The property is immaculate, spacious for a couple and full of character.

OUR STAY
An absolutely beautiful location and property. Amanda and Robin made us feel very welcome. I do however have one small criticism and that is that we were only allowed to use the pool and its seating area until 5 pm. We were " clock watching " to ensure that we did not break the rule. I do not recall if this rule was stated in the description of the property. It may seem petty, however, this is the first time in over 20 years visiting France that we were subject to a pool time limit!

Lovely stay
Very nice house, in a small village about 5 mins drive from Chef Boutonne. Very quiet area so easy to walk our dog, with a secure front garden. Well equipped and Amanda and Robin were very welcoming hosts. Loved the swimming pool, especially as it was sooo hot!

Tranquil haven in the Countryside
Le Petit Maison is a delight! Perfect for an undisturbed get away. The hosts are wonderful and welcoming and the use of their pool was a welcome bonus as the weather was gloriously warm and sunny. The sound of birdsong and frogs in the pond were literally all the noise that there was and the nearest town was a short drive away for amenities. The house has a small kitchen area and lounge wuth an upstairs mezzanine bedroom and shower room and has its own seperate grounds which include a hangar which has lighting, a barbecue and outdoor furniture in.I would most definitely reccomend a stay at Le Petit Maison, and we plan to return for a visit in the future!

Un écrin de verdure, au calme avec une piscine et un jardin paysagé qui sont très agréables. Nous vous conseillons très fortement de passer par CREZIERES et de faire une halte dans cet endroit dépaysant. Nous remercions Robin et Amanda, F&S

La Petite maison de la sérénité
Superbe petite maison de campagne, aménagé avec soin et goût. Faire quelques longueurs dans la piscine le soir au retour d'une longue marche est un pur bonheur. On repart de Crézières à contrecoeur, mais ressourcé et reposé ! Amanda et Robin sont des gens absolument charmants, plein de bienveillance, et toujours prêts à rendre service. Je recommande vivement la "Petite maison" !
