Bourg-Charente – Sumarhús

Liz Bretland

Monica and Warren were exceptional hosts. The house is beautifully equipped and very clean. I particularly liked that there were thoughtful touches- such as good coffee; olive oil; tea; milk; wine- waiting for us. The river is great for swimming!

The hosts were extremely kind and helpful, and they provided a lot of information about the area and where the best areas are. In the apartment there are also a dozen of DVDs, books and games to pass the time amazingly. The hosts' cat was extremely friendly :) Around the property there's a beautiful river with a cute family of ducks and a pretty swan.

Superb hosts Nice comfortable apartment (up one flight of stairs) Wonderful views Excellent cycling opportunities Parking at the house If we have to mention a minus point: our stay was too short (5 days), we didn’t want to leave

We went as a group of 10. It was perfect for us. plenty of amenities within the property and plenty of space.

This is a beautiful tranquil place. The gite is pretty and very comfortable. We loved how quiet it was. It is in a lovely setting with a courtyard with a pool shared only with the owners a very nice couple with a young daughter. The gite has its own area of the garden with table and chairs and a seating area with a view of the pool courtyard and a separate green area also with a table and chairs and with the river beside it. There is a barbecue for the use of those in the gite beside the table and chairs. We really enjoyed our stay here and will hopefully be able to return again. Just one thing to note the second bedroom is accessed through the first bedroom but also has its own door to the garden so those using it will either have to access the rest of the gite through the 1st bedroom or by going outside and to the main door which is easy enough. The village has a nice patisserie and shop/small supermarket. Also a butchers though it was closed for a holiday while we were there. The shop had some meats though. It also has a pharmacy and a pizzeria. There is a tennis court near the gite and is free to use and we played a number of games there. Its only a couple of minutes walk from the gite and there was no need to book just go and use if it was free and on all occasions we went there was no one using it. The gite itself has a box with tennis racquets and balls. Also it has a table tennis table bats and ball, a dart board and exercise machine in an area where bikes can be kept as well. Perfect for a family holiday. There is good cycling (reasonably flat) around the village and we did a lot of cycling in the mornings. Cognac is only a 10 minute drive away. We would highly recommend this gite for a holiday we had a wonderful relaxing time for the two weeks we were there.
