Super vacances en charente
La maison est celle que nous recherchions, une maison typique en pierre avec ses poutres en bois à l’intérieur et les lézards à l’extérieur. Nous avons eu beaucoup de chaleur donc la piscine mise à disposition nous a bien servis. La propriétaire, bien que mon anglais ne soit pas bon du tout, a été très accueillante, avec des petits cadeaux à notre arrivée, et très souple au niveau des horaires. Merci encore à elle pour sa gentillesse Nous avons fait beaucoup de visites, beaucoup de villages sont très sympas à voir, de très belles promenades sans besoin de prendre la voiture, des bases nautiques pour le canoë à 15km, etc.. Je recommande donc cette jolie maison à tout le monde

Super séjour en famille
Les propriétaires nous ont accueilli avec gentillesse. Discrets mais attentifs, ils étaient à disposition durant tout notre séjour. Le logement est parfaitement équipé (le four est parfait pour réchauffer le préfou) : le linge de maison est fourni et les lits sont déjà faits ! Qu'il fasse beau ou qu'il pleuve, les très nombreux jeux d'intérieur et d'extérieur fournis (piscine, vélo, ping pong, pétanque, dominos géants, badminton et jeux de société), nous ont permis de bien nous amuser ! Nous recommandons cette location pour des vacances en famille et même des weekend puisque tout est clef en main!

Gite agréable
Accueil sympathique, tout en anglais, lieu charmant et calme. On n'entend que les brebis du champ voisin. Gite bien équipé. Irene, la propriétaire nous dit que la "cuisine anglaise" est très fonctionnelle. Et c'est tout à fait vrai; mais on se demande encore ce qu'elle a d'"anglaise"... Pas de wifi durant notre présence; la ligne Orange aurait été coupée... nous n'avons jamais eu de mot de passe valide pour la box, donc aucun moyen de le constater par nous même. Déconnexion totale donc (car pas de 4G non plus), ce qui était très bien pour des vacances ! Pour être au calme, ce gite est super !!

Sejour reposant,au calme.
Nous avons apprécié le calme de cette location, l'aménagement intérieur et extérieur, salon de jardin BBQ, ainsi que les vélos qui étaient mis à notre disposition et avec lesquels nous avons pu rayonner autour de Benest :Canoë, villages remarquables, châteaux. Irène nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse, bouquet de fleurs dans la maison, vin. Nous avons eu des échanges très sympathiques malgré le frein de la langue.

Bon accueil
Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Madame Beeby dans un logement très propre et magnifiquement aménagé. La disponibilité de la piscine et autres aménagement (balançoire, obbogan pour les petits, ...). Le gîte disposée également d'un abris pour une voiture. Cette location peux être le départ de nombreuses excursions dans les villages environnants soit à pied ou en ve!o .

Wundervolle Tage
Ein ruhiger, friedvoller Platz um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Das bestens ausgestattete Domizil ist gemütlich und stilvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche geräumig und bestens mit allem, was man braucht bestückt. Wir haben super geschlafen, denn die Matratze war ein Traum. Top sauber. Irene, die Vermieterin ist äußerst freundlich und stets hilfsbereit. Es waren schöne Ferien und die Gegend lädt ein schöne Ausflüge zu unternehmen. Gerne wieder und vielen Dank!

Great place to stay
Lovely gite, nice couple very friendly but unfortunately whilst decor etc was lovely for me the basics need tweaking a bit ie: no freeze box, no blinds in the bedrooms, no WiFi and I had to climb into the bath to set the taps for the children to have a shower/bath which I found quite difficult with an arthritic hip. On the plus side there is a full size cooker, microwave and a washing machine so I was able to go home with a clean suitcase of washing. There were dvds to watch, bikes to ride and a pool to cool off in which was a bonus. I do wish Tim and Irene all the best with their gite business and hope to stay there again.

Great stay for 11 nights! 29/07/19 - 09/08/19
It was our first holiday to France and considering we initially had problems with the sat nav our drive down all worked out well in the end! On our arrival Irene and Tim made us very welcome and gave me and the 2 children an introduction / tour around the gite surrounding buildings. The gite itself was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to make our holiday a success! Outside is a lovely courtyard where the children can play, this also leads to a bigger area and field if you need to give the children a run out in our case we played football and rounders. There is also a swing and seesaw. The pool area is a nice and clean and big enough for a family of 4. Nearest supermarket that we used was in Champagne Mouton about 10-15 mins away. Nearby there are loads of things to do, all within a 30-45 minute drive. We did river swimming, kayaks, lakes with Aqua jump, local market in Ruffec, Monkey Valley, Confolens. And plenty of other things that we just didn't fit in. Overall we had a wonderful time and i would recommend this property for anyone visiting, the children were already asking during our journey home they wanted to come back next year! Thanks to Irene & Tim for a great holiday, We hope to return next year. Best wishes Dean, Ella-Rose, Oscar.

Beautiful gite in a lovely area, loads to do and everything you need! Loved it!
We had an amazing 10 night stay at this beautiful gite in August. The owner, Irene, who lives next door couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful, giving us loads of ideas to do in the area. Having lived there a while she had loads of local knowledge of what to do with the kids, and where was good to avoid the crowds in the summer holidays! If you want to stay in, the gite has loads to do on site - a lovely garden area to relax / eat outdoors, table tennis, swing and seesaw, and a lovely little pop-up pool that was great for the kids on the lovely hot days! We also used some of the selection of bikes to go for a lovely ride one day which we all loved! Nearby there are loads of things to do, all within a 30-40 minute drive. We did roman ruins (great), river swimming, kayaks, lakes with flumes, dance and music festival, local markets, swimming pools, exotic animal parks and feel we barely scratched the surface. The nearby towns of Confolens and Champagne Mouton are great for all the amenities you need - supermarkets, fuel, boulangeries etc. And ate only 15 mins or so to drive to. Inside the gite the lounge area is great, and Irene provides plenty of books to read, dvds to watch, board games and there are a good few channels on the tv to chose from (although only the kids watched it)!! The kitchen is well equipped, with an oven, microwave and washing machine. The only downsides were no dishwasher (1st world problems), but the washing machine was a better use of space. Also there is no freezer, but Irene was happy to freeze our cool blocks in hers for us! Upstairs is cozy but comfortable. The kids loved the bunk beds and the main bed is pretty big and comfy. The bathroom was nice and the shower amazingly powerful and hot! The whole place was spotlessly clean, with linen and towels provided aplenty. Even had a couple of bottles of vino to drink for us on arrival! Irene is really lovely, and not intrusive at all despite living on site. It was lovely to hear about how she and her hubby had developed the place and she showed us round the next phase which promises to be amazing!! We invited Irene to join us for a bbq on the last night and we had a good laugh chatting into the evening under the stars - and the gas bbq provided was a nice touch! All in all, would give it an 11 out of 10. Loved it and loved the area. Can’t wait to visit again to see more of the region and enjoy the seemingly constant summer sunshine!!

Lovely setting in rural france
Wonderful setting not far from benest. Irene greeted us on our arrival and provided as many details of local and not so local amenities as you could need. She was always available if needed but never imposed herself upon us. The gite still appears recently renovated and to a good spec. Loads of activities on site and having bikes to go to the local rivers, bar, shop, tennis court etc was brilliant. It is clearly advertised as for young or small families and we took a slight risk taking 14 year olds who are quite large. Theyfelt their room was a little small but it was still more than adequate for them and didn't detract from the stay at all, particularly as there is so much space elsewhere in the gite and on site. I wasn't aware that if we needed an internet connection it would cost more as it is satellite based but to be honest it was a pleasure to go offline for a while although there is mobile phone reception. We would visit again and thoroughly enjoyed staying with Irene and meeting her grandson. Thanks again for making our time with you so pleasant.

Peace, tranquility and sunshine heaven
Upon arrival greeted by Irene and a welcome glass of wine. Explicit tour of this gite given, it has so many extras above my expectations. I mentioned in my initial enquiry that we were interested in fishing, Irene had all the relevant information and also had fishing equipment and bicycles for us to use. The provision of Al Fresco dining and strategically placed seating to catch all the best sun rays in the pretty courtyard area which is secure. Inside the kitchen is a revelation with lots of storage and a full sized cooker. The lounge area is very comfortable with lots of books to read and DVDs to watch once the sun has set. Upstairs the bedrooms are also very comfortable and spacious, with lots of storage areas, the bathroom has a full size bath and a powerful shower. We had visited this area before, but there was great deal of information available on where to go and what to do, and Irene's 20 years knowledge of the area means we had our own Tourist information officer on site. We visited the restaurants
