Fantastic, beautiful home from home!
What a place! As soon as we arrived at Derek and Debbie's gites we knew we were going to have a great fortnight. The directions that Derek emailed through to us couldn't have been easier to follow and we made the trip down with no problems. A beautiful setting, so very private and with so much to do. Our hosts made sure we had everything we could possibly need, including a lovely welcome pack of brie, wines, beers, pate and french bread and left us to enjoy our holiday. We were in the gorgeous pool with the sun setting that evening and our three kids were having what they described as "the best holiday ever".
Derek and Debbie have really thought of everything, they taught us archery, there were bikes and a pull along trailer, a little golf course, a small wooded area that the children adored, the pool is just WOW! The games barn with darts, table tennis, table football, tennis rackets, badminton, the list goes on and the hosts let you enjoy it all at your leisure.
The spotlessly clean gites are perfect, so very rustic with the exposed brickwork, beams and log burners yet modern with every possible mod con you could need. A GREAT selection of board games and DVDs, the kids loved them all!
We visited some amazing places over the fortnight, we ended up at Chateau de Verteuil enjoying a glass of wine by the river on the most gorgeous sunny day. We watched the Bastille Day fireworks in a local village. Dressed up in period costumes at Chateau de Rochefoucauld and enjoyed so many crepes and cafe au laits...this is France at its very best.
Our favourite thing to do, without doubt was go on a bike ride around the gite and surrounding sunflower fields and then spend the day hanging out at the amazing pool. I have stayed in France many times before, but this has to be the best visit. If you are a family, and especially if you have extended family or friends that want to rent next door then you will struggle to find better than this.
Debbie and Derek, we left with very heavy hearts on Saturday and as I warned you, there would be tears. We really miss our French home from home, I feel like we made two good friends in you both and wish you continued success! …

Les Canards
get away from the city
We had a fabulous time in Les Canards. There is lots of space for everyone. The ping pong table and the pool are the winners. But there are loads of other things you could enjoy ie bikes, games, badminton etc. the cottages are in the middle of nowhere so this is for someone looking for peaceful holidays. the grocery shop is a while away so you certainly need a car. We did a couple of day trips: one to Poitiers and the other to La Rochelle. Excellent time out - recommend both. The cottages are well equipped including room by the pool. Everything you need to enjoy your cooking or bbq. All of my friends enjoyed the place. Thanks a lot to the owners. We did recommend the place to friends but unfortunately the dates the wanted where not available. not surprised because in low season it is a bargain:) …
