Fantastic property

We had a fantastic holiday, the gites we're lovely (photographs don't do them justice!), the pool was great and the hammocks and guinea pigs were a huge hit with the children. Mel and Richard were brilliant hosts and we would highly recommend Mel's cooking. We celebrated a big birthday while we were there and they helped to make it a very special day.

Family trip

It’s hard to find places that work for our family group of 9 with ages from 11 through to late 40s. This property has everything we needed. Far enough from others to be very private and close enough to the local supermarket and town that everything necessary was very close. Hosts were great and on hand for any questions. A great place to get away to. Particularly enjoyable was the garden after sundown where the lack of light from the surrounding area gives an excellent view of the stars and Milky Way.

Aug 2023

The property was great, lots of room for a large group (there were 11 in total) and plenty of outdoor seating. It wasn't an issue that there were two separate properties and in reality it was more like one large property. The swimming pool was very nice and kept clean regularly by Mel and there were lots to do for the kids in addition to the swimming - games, hammocks, goals and lots of guinea pigs they were able to pet. The local area convenient in that there is a Super U very close and we used the Chez Tito pizza place for takeaway which was good quality. It was very hot while we were there (40 degrees) and even with the fans in each room the bedrooms were very hot at night as there is no A/C but a minor point overall and would recommend the property for a family holiday.

A really great holiday beyond expectations

Mel and Richard are great owners and hosts and we cannot speak highly enough of them. The check in was really welcoming and you felt that you had known both Mel and Richard in a former life. The two properties worked out really well for the eight of us. There was ample seating both inside and outside. The pool was brilliantly maintained by Mel each morning and those of our party who were up early enough each day were able to have great conversations while Mel did all the work! It was a joy to see the guinea-pigs roaming free and there were 7 additions to the family while we were there. Richard was really good involving the family with the guinea-pigs, chickens, duck and cockerel and had endless patience with us. This was a memorable holiday and we look forward to returning. In the meantime all that is left to say is a huge thank you to Mel and Richard from all our family. Andrew, Pamela, Amanda, Toby, Mark, Julie, Luke and Rosina

magnifique séjour en famille

Un endroit magnifique pour passer des vacances en famille. La situation est top et reposante. Les enfants ont profité des différentes activités : jeu de fléchettes, babyfoot, piscine, pingpong, et tous les jeux de société à leur disposition. Que du bonheur pour eux. La maison est formidable et l'accueil très chaleureux.

Très grande et agréable propriété pour 7 adultes et 7 ados

Commerces à 2-3kms (très pratique). Belle demeure en pierre, bien décorée avec de nombreux objets anciens. En cas de beau temps, très grand espace extérieur arboré permettant à chacun de s'isoler et, inversement de passer du temps ensemble (ping-pong, foot, jeux de raquettes, pétanque, fléchettes...). Très belle et grande piscine mais peu chauffée : 24° au mieux. Pas d'éclairage pour rester ou manger à l'extérieur le soir. Pas de table pour 14 à l'intérieur pour être ensemble (le soir ou par mauvais temps). Cuisine spacieuse bien équipée sauf pour cuisiner pour 14 (plats, faitouts,...). Chambres correctes mais lits en 190, avec bout de lit, pas pratique pour les personnes de 1m85 et+. Très peu de Wifi et de connexion mobile (comme dans beaucoup d'endroits isolés). Des petits plus à revoir, qui rendraient cette location incontournable et donneraient envie d'y revenir.

Super séjour

Tres belle propriété avec un jardin tres agréable et une piscine grande, sécurisée et très bien entretenue ! On a été très bien accueillis par Melanie et son mari. On a passé un très bon séjour. Maison tres adaptée aux grands groupes. Un seul petit bémol concernant un faible éclairage des extérieurs le soir.

Fantastisk vecka på Chatelet!

Jag, mina barn och barnbarn hade en fantastiskt fin vecka på Chatelet, Allt, dvs hus, pool och omgivning var mycket över förväntan. Vi fick mycket bra service och en kväll beställde vi catering av Melanie. Både mat och dryck var superba.. Vi vill varmt rekommendera denna plats på jorden! Roland Olofsson Piteå Sweden

A beautiful setting, two very thoughtfully and lovingly converted properties.

We enjoyed our family holiday immensely. The accommodation set across two houses was fine for our group's sleeping arrangements. We did however, find that having two kitchens caused us some difficulties, especially when trying to cook meals for our large group. Although crockery and cutlery were plentiful and very good quality, saucepans and cooking pots were sadly not so plentiful for preparing large amounts of food. (We didn't make requests from the owners but used imaginitive methods to overcome this). The owners were very helpful and knowledgable about the local amenities and places of interest and accurate local weather reports!

Fantastic Holiday

We had a fantastic two week holiday in this wonderful gite, It was very clean. well maintained and equipped with everything you could need and the separate staircases were perfect for us our two teenage boys and friends. The pool, gardens, animals and hammocks made for an amazing relaxing holiday, we really didn't want to come home! Mel and Richard were brilliants hosts and were on hand to give us advice on where to visit and eat, which was invaluable as this was our first time in the Charente area. We can't wait to return soon and would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone wishing for a relaxing holiday in this beautiful part of South West France.
