GUEST COMMENTS
Had a fantastic 2 weeks in this lovely house.  Kids made good use of the pool!  Had lots of lovely days out and visited the local bar a few times; very friendly Gorgeous meal at the Creperie at Pissotte.
All had such a great time, we hope to return next year.  Family B


Once again, we had a really great holiday here.  Everything we needed was in the house and it was nice to have the pool cleaned regularly.  La Cousotte bar once again made us very welcome; even cooked a meal specially for the men when they returned from a football match in Niort at gone 11pm

Lovely heated swimming pool which is fenced off for security, with terracing, sunloungers, table and chairs
How about a game of pool ...                                 ....or perhaps a game of table tennis
Large, secure gardens ideal for a game of football, badminton, run around to let to let of steam, or perhaps to find a quiet corner with some shade to sit quietly and read a book.
