Amazing holiday

The farmhouse is beautiful with stunning views. The owners were very accommodating and had thought about everything with some lovely personal touches. The children spent a lot of time in the pool. We had great weather which meant we didn’t make much use of the sitting room, which was also amazing. Worth every penny

This is a lovely, well equipped property in a stunning location. The only small niggle was that the pool had a very green line all around above the waterline. However if you wish a truly relaxing stay, this is the place for you

Relaxing break in beautiful farmhouse with stunning views !!

My husband and I spent the week here 3-10 September for our wedding anniversary. What a stunning place , I didn't want to leave. The farmhouse was spotlessly clean , had everything we needed for our stay and what can I say about the views breathtaking We mainly spent the week enjoying the pool and the views with s few trips to mnesrby Aubeterre and Brantome . The hosts Wendy and Simon wee very welcoming and helpful and we knew if we had any problem there would be s local contact nearby who would help . We will definitely be coming back !! Thank you for a wonderful relaxing week .

Thank you very much indeed - we are so pleased that your stay was special and to know that this house is a lovely place to 'get away from it all' for couples as well as families. Aubeterre is a lovely town nearby and good to hear you went to Brantome with its winding river and chateau. We were delighted to meet you both and we look forward to welcoming you back in 2017.

Fabulous Three Generations Family Holiday

A wonderful well equipped holiday home in a stunning location. Wendy was extremely helpful from the booking in process right through to the holiday and even purchased a bike seat for our granddaughter so that she could join us on our bike rides. Everyone was catered for with the use of bikes, table football, pool table, outdoor and indoor games and much more. The pool was a great hit with all the family. We explored the local area and found plenty to see and do. We can thoroughly recommend the restaurant in Montboyer and also Creperie de la Source in Aubeterre. The only downside was that a week wasn't long enough!

A fantastic place to relax and unwind

We eventually got out holiday in Montboyer, after COVID scuppered our 2020 plans, and it was definitely worth the wait! Wendy and Simon were brilliant with all their information and communications for our trip. We were a three generation group plus a dog, and we found the house, pool and gardens accommodated us all very well. The house is spacious and airy, and very well equipped. It's a very peaceful setting, with a wonderful views. We really did relax and unwind. We visited some great local villages, markets and restaurants in the surrounding area. We've stayed in many holiday houses in France and would definitely recommend this one; we'd all love to return.

Fabulous Family Celebrations

Our holiday was booked a year ago giving us time to make arrangements for our family to join in my 60th Birthday celebrations. During these unprecedented times due to Covid19 our plans took many twists and turns. Wendy and Simon could not have been more flexible and understanding right up until our day of travel when quarantine restrictions where placed on travel to France. We decided to carry on regardless. We went with high hopes and expectations. We were not disappointed. The house and grounds were even better in reality. We were a party of 9 ranging in age from 3 to 60. There was plenty of space for everyone to join in together yet you could still find a quiet spot if you wanted. The pool area and views are fabulous. The quality of furniture and kitchen equipment were great. We thoroughly recommend this beautiful holiday home in its peaceful location.

Really lovely farmhouse amidst the beautiful Charente countryside. Very spacious, clean and well equipped. There were only 5 of us so two bedrooms were unused but even if they had been there was plenty of room for everyone. Very comfy beds, great showers and very welcome air conditioning although the house stays remarkably cool even in heat dome conditions ! The gardens, pool and barn are particularly lovely. Wendy the host was super friendly and helpful! We will definitely visit again

Belle découverte

Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable à Montboyer. La maison était super bien équipée, idéale pour notre groupe d'amis. La maison est aussi très adéquate pour de jeunes enfants: les chambres sont fraiches, la piscine est bien clôturée, et tout est de plein pied! Nous serons heureux d'y retourner pour une semaine de détente dans une belle région.
