Fantastic property and owners

What a wonderful experience for our extended family. Kirsten and Keith were great hosts, made us feel very welcome, and had worked on the house with huge attention to detail. The rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable, bathrooms are beautifully appointed, and the whole environment and ambience are totally relaxing and enjoyable. All our family loved our stay.

Wonderful Stay at Manoir Aulagnes

We travelled as a large group (4 adults, 8 kids of various ages from 6 to 15) The house is fabulous, even better than the pictures. The recently renovated pool is fantastic, especially at night when the tiles glow. The Kids loved it! The setting is tranquil and the grounds are lovey. The outside areas/games room with table football and Ping pong were also great. Would hightly recommend; Thanks Keith and Kirsten

Like holidaying in a Chateau!

What an ideal place this was for our family to spend a week together. Being 16 altogether, 9 adults and 7 young children, the location and space were perfect. We had spacious rooms, comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and as well as a large dining table inside, there was a lovely big eating / BBQ area outside where we ate most of our meals. The grounds gave plenty of room for the children to play, plus a safely gated swimming pool, popular with us all. Another well used facility was the table tennis table in the outdoor games room. And all was set amidst vines and sunflower fields. Kerry and her family, who live on site, were very welcoming and friendly. They also gave us many useful tips and suggestions about where to visit in the area. Aubeterre is a must! It was a lovely week with many happy memories.

Dear Stephen It was so wonderful to see your extended family come together in our property Aulagnes and have such fun relaxing times together. You were such a great bunch of people and your children were a delight. We’d welcome you all back with open arms. All my best wishes to your nearest and dearest. From the Jolliffe’s

One of the best holidays we've ever had!!

Thanks for making my fiftieth year one of the most memorable yet! Aulagnes was the perfect place for my friends and family to holiday and celebrate. The house is beautiful and set in a stunning location. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and vineyards with wine and Cognac on tap. What’s not to like!! The house is absolutely massive and accommodated all of us easily. All of the bedrooms are decorated beautifully and are really big. The kitchen is huge and really well equipped. So is the dining room and lounge. The main hall is magnificent. The house was immaculately kept and really clean throughout. Kerry the owner was so helpful, if there was anything we needed or just to advise on anything about the local area. One of the things we really liked was the alfresco areas where we spent most of our time celebrating. Many an evening spent outside with the BBQ. We really liked the area down by the swimming pool which we often used for early evening drinks whilst watching the kids in the pool. The pool is safely fenced off so you don’t have to worry about the younger ones. What a great spot. The view from one side of the pool is vineyards as far as you can see. The whole place is brilliant for kids as it’s securely fenced and gated all the way round so you don’t have to worry. There’s a trampoline, games room with pool table, table tennis, table football and huge gardens for the kids to play in. They loved it. There’s a load of games to play and if you want to settle the kids down in the evening you can put them in the huge lounge with a movie. The house is well equipped with everything you need and more. It’s also not very far from the local town so we had a supermarket within easy reach. We also loved visiting the local Cognac house at Maine Giroud. Lovely people who were happy to show us how they made their Cognac. The Cognac is stunning and we stocked up on a few gallons of their wine too!! We also visited Aubeterre Sur Dronne which was only 25 minutes away. It’s an absolute must. I would say it’s one of the most beautiful towns in France. There are some great restaurants there as well. We also had a lot of great days out as there’s so much to do in the area. I can’t recommend this place enough. We all had an amazing holiday and we definitely will be coming back again.

Fabulous Stay!

What a fabulous holiday! We were a group of 16 friends and family, with a mix of adults and children, and we found this house to be perfect for our stay. We really couldn't fault it. The property was even more stunning in real life than in the pictures. There was plenty to keep everyone occupied with the pool area, ping pong, table football and beautiful open barn for dining outside. The area is very tranquil and the views from the property are stunning. We particularly enjoyed swimming at the river beach in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne and visiting the Friday market at Riberac. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and even did a free and very enjoyable Cognac tasting for us one evening which was much appreciated. We would definitely return. Many thanks.

Exceptional time had by all

It is a gem of a house set in very peaceful location, well equipped and spacious for our extended family. We had 9 adults, 4 children and 2 babies who all had a great time. The pool area was excellent and tended every day to ensure hygiene and cleanliness. Keith and Kirsten (our hosts) were welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. Any issues and we had minor (plug in the bath) were resolved immediately with a smile, nothing was too much for them. Our stay was summed up by our 9 year old grandson who commented “can we come back next year). All in all we had a great time and the title says it all

Probably the best holiday ever

This was a holiday with a group of friends and kids to celebrate my 40th birthday and it really could not have been more perfect. The photos don't really do the Manoir justice... the whole property and grounds are huge with more than enough space for a large group (we were 16) to play, rest, eat, socialise or find a quiet corner without ever getting in anyone's way. Keith and Kirsten are attentive hosts keeping us informed before and during our stay, helping us with anything we needed. This holiday will live long in our memories.

Small slice of heaven!

We were a group of four families with children 7-12 years old. We had the most amazing holiday just resting around the pool and in the beautiful outside spaces surrounding the house. There were some lovely places to visit within a 20 minute drive and the size and comfort of the house meant all ages were very happy. The owners were welcoming without being intrusive and I have every intention of returning. Thank you for having us.

Spacious and charming

We had a lovely stay with 5 couples and 6 small children. The rooms, kitchen and living area are charming and very spacious. The outside area's are great, both for hot days as for cooler days. The owners are very friendly. There's not much to do in the near surroundings but the surrounding sunflower fields are gorgeous !
