Too short a stay!

Regrettably our plans did not work out as we had hoped and we had to shorten our stay at this property. However, the house was in a delightful (very) rural location; the swimming pool was very welcome after a hot day's sightseeing in Saintes!

Wonderful house in an idilic location

We loved our stay in this beautiful house where we enjoyed the sunshine coming through the windows, the clean pool and large garden whith designated space for badmington, table tennis uneder the trees, our own BBQ area with soft furniture. Linda and Stephen are grate hosts, they offered bikes for our boys to ride in the quiet country lanes surrounding the property and have always been there to help with suggestions on places to go from the huge supermarket only 6 minutes drive away to the costal towns with lovely beaches and ports where we could eat out. It is a very tranquil setting, that you don't feel the need to leave, but if you do there's a lot to do in the area. We are grateful we found this house at the very last minute and for the very prompt respond from our hosts.

Very well-equipped house in a lovely location

We have recently returned from a great week in Cravans. We stayed in the larger house (3 bedrooms), which is very comfortable and well-equipped. The other house on the site has a separate access and there are private sitting-out areas - when both are being used you cannot see each other. The two properties can be rented separately or together if available. It's an excellent lay-out. We enjoyed a mixture of relaxing times (reading, eating outside, walking the lanes with our dog) and exploring the local area including the coast, which is nearer than I realised, with nice views along the Gironde estuary and beaches, only about half an hour's drive away.

A little corner of tranquillity

We had a relaxing two week stay. Stephen and Linda were very welcoming. There is lots to see and do around the local area. The pool was perfect and the garden beautiful. We had a lovely holiday and would highly recommend. The Gould family August 2017

Enjoyable stay with friends and family

Overall, the house and the gite are set in a lovely, well-manicured garden. The pool is a great size and kept beautifully clean. The kitchens of both properties are well equipped with quantities of cutlery and crockery, the living area spacious and airy, though the gite had a tendency to overheat, being in a dip with little in the way of breeze. I think the fact that our friends stayed in the gite while the two couples of my family stayed in the house made a few of the glitches less important. Each property has a barbecue, but the small one at the house is in full sun till late in the evening. The larger, shady barbecue is next to the gite, next to the shaded seating area. If two unconnected families were using the two properties, it may have been awkward for the house occupants to use the supposedly communal seating and cooking area. An additional umbrella in the pool area would have been useful - it was quite cosy when all seven of us wanted to enjoy the pool in the shade. Perhaps more of an issue with two separate sets of tennants. We have always found in the past that in properties in areas where the weather can become very hot, fans have been provided in all bedrooms. This would have been beneficial for our two weeks of late 20's, mid 30's weather (and only June at this stage!). It was a particular problem for our friends in the gite. We have found that it is also the norm to be issued with clean towels and bedding after the first week. We would have laundered our own, but the advertised washing machine is actually situated in the owners' basement, under the house, so while in theory available, it makes it rather awkward and inconvenient. However, we did very much enjoy the area, with lots to see and do and reasonable restaurants at no great distance.

The gite is lovely and well equipped. Outside there is a lovely patio and grassed areas and a solid oak sit-outery. The setting is amazing and the region is incredible.

We enjoyed the swimming pool. Nice pool, in the garden of the house, perfect hidden from the street. A nice terrace to eat breakfast and diner. Bedsheet and towels available. Beds were already made up. 1km walk you have a bakkery. Older house, but with charm. No airco. Internet connection is poor. Very relax holiday

Fijne vakantie woning in mooie en rustige omgeving

Het was een goed verblijf. Het huis ligt op een mooie rustige plek in een mooie omgeving, maar drukke plekken en stranden zijn ook zeker snel te bereiken. (/- 20 min) De bakker zat op 10 minuten loopafstand en is elke dag geopend. Het omheinde zwembad was ook zeker een pluspunt. Het enige minpunt was de wifi die wat haperde. We waren blij verrast toen we aankwamen want de foto's van de advertentie komen niet helemaal overeen met de werkelijkheid. Dit huisje is zeker een aanrader voor gezinnen met kinderen. De eigenaren waren ook erg aardig en behulpzaam.Groet van ons

A pleasant home

We had a good time in this house with spacious garden and swimming pool. We were a bit unlucky with the weather, otherwise we might not have even left the property. The house has everything you need. The village is rural and therefore often about 20-30 minutes away from activities. A bakery is within walking distance, the rest by car. We found very hospitable and friendly hosts.

Superbe environnement, quelques améliorations à prévoir dans la maison

L’endroit est magnifique, la villa très agréable avec son jardin et sa piscine, on ne sent pas la présence des autres locataires, ceux du gîte ni des propriétaires. Quelques rénovations seraient à prévoir dans la maison notamment la chasse d’eau assez récalcitrante. Mais Linda et Steven sont adorables et on dort tellement bien dans cette maison! Je recommande

As expected

We looked for a quiet place, away (but not too far ...) from crowded touristic sites. This house totally matches that. The pool is great. Our hosts are easy to found and friendly. We found the fridge a bit small for six, balanced by the attached freezer. And we feel a slight lack of privacy due to hearing a little to much what is happening in other rooms. Finally we have a really good stay

Nous avons passé une très belle semaine, au calme dont nous avions besoin. Il a fait très chaud et nous avons profité d'une piscine impeccable qui est entretenue par le propriétaire matin et soir. L'intérieur de la maison reste bien frais, ce qui est vraiment appréciable lors d'une canicule. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner, casseroles et poêles en bon état. Les draps de lit sont jolis. Le mobilier est dans le style ancien mais tout est récent et en parfait état, propreté nickel. Propriétaires fort sympathiques et à l'écoute. A recommander.

Quiétude, beau cadre intérieur et extérieur, villa spacieuse

Nous avons passé d'agréables vacances chez Linda et Stephen. Et nous y reviendrons :-) La location se situe dans le village de Cravans et est à 5 min. de la ville de Gémozac. L'environnement direct est calme, repos à l'ordre du jour. La villa est spacieuse (peut accueillir 6 personnes), et bien équipée. Le jardin est très agréable et bien agrémenté. Piscine de très belle taille, avec transats et protection solaire sous forme de tonnelle. Parcours et matériel de cricket, et différentes zones de jeux (badminton, etc). La terrasse extérieure de la villa est plein sud, nous avons demandé un second parasol car nous ne nous exposons pas spécialement directement au soleil. Barbecue, table et chaises ainsi qu'un confortable salon de jardin agrémentent cette terrasse. Sans oublier un bel étang et des plantations auprès desquels il est plaisant de flâner dès le petit matin et jusqu'à tard le soir à observer les étoiles, et d'y prendre ses repas. La propriété a également un bungalow pour 4 personnes mis à la location. Stephen est à l'écoute de vos demandes. Si vous connaissez un peu l'anglais (kit de survie),c'est un plus mais la langue parlée par nos hôtes n'est pas une barrière. Sans hésitation, nous y retournerons. Alors si nous devions soulever un bémol, ce serait peut-être la taille du frigo qui est petit pour accueillir 6 personnes (nous étions 4). En période de fortes chaleurs, si vous aimez vos boissons fraîches et ne pas faire des courses tous les jours, c'est un peu petit (frigo table encastré). Il y a un congélateur de la même taille que le frigo (largement suffisant). A proximité : A Cravans, il y a le restaurant "Le Petit Gourmand", que nous conseillons, c'est EXCELLENT des produits frais et faits maison à un rapport qualité/prix imbattable. Nous le conseillons vivement. Vous trouvez également une boulangerie. A Gémozac, tous commerces (grandes surfaces, magasin bio, boulangeries, restaurant "Le Lion d'Or" -que nous recommandons également-, pizzeria (pas essayées mais bon échos), .... Bref tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de bonnes vacances sans devoir faire des kilomètres pour les courses alimentaires ou une sortie restaurant. C'est la troisième année que nous allons en vacances sur la zone de Gémozac, c'est la première fois chez Linda et Stephen......... et pas la dernière. Merci pour l'accueil
