There is an adjoining field for dog walking, football and other sports though no equipment provided. We offer the free use of a traditional punt and 2 adult bikes in order for our guests to explore this very unique, local area. An intriguing network of canals and waterways is just down a lane, near the house from where you can set off with a picnic for an adventure in the labyrinth of small canals, under a completely green canopy of trees. Come back relaxed and ready for an aperitif on the deck til the sun sets into a very dark, unpolluted night sky allowing you to stargaze and watch our local barn owl and European dormice going about their evening business. Village amenities on your doorstep include a Tourist Information office, small coop/ grocery store, 2 restaurants, a pizzeria/ ice-cream parlour, artisan shops, petrol station, antique shop and post office. There are markets in various local villages throughout the summer. There is also an outdoor cinema in the next village - great fun during the summer months! The city of La Rochelle (also the nearest airport) is about 40 minutes awa; a delightful harbour town to explore with good restaurants and summer animation. The Atlantic coast, with large, clean and safe,sandy beaches is within easy reach (about 40mins away) as is the famous and trendy Ile de Re - a delightful island, over the bridge from La Rochelle. Come and enjoy this very unique and relaxing part of France. Green Venice (locally known as the Venise Verte is best explored by boat, bike or on foot so you can forget your car for a few days. It is also ideal for those wishing to paint, fish, bird watch or general nature watching and relaxing. There are indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and equestrian facilities nearby and plenty of opportunity for water sports on the coast (Chatelaillon Plage being the nearest centre). For exploration further afield, there is good access to such destinations as Saintes, Cognac, Bordeaux and its vineyards, the Dordogne, the Atlantic islands of Re, Oleron Aix etc and Atlantic beaches and resorts (Royan, Rochefort etc).

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
