Restored Haute Vienne Holiday Farmhouse with Pool in Chateauponsac Reviews

This was the third time we visited this lovely, characterful gite and once again we were not disappointed. Already spacious and well-equipped Sue & Pete continue to add nice surprises like a woodburning stove and new courtyard/bbq area and were incredibly generous with the proceeds of their veg patch. The weather was not great this year which gave us the perfect excuse to read for hours, cook big meals (while planning what to eat at the next) and take trips to the delightful towns nearby eg, Montmorillon and Mortemart as well as seeking out local brocantes (altho' these offered slim pickings). We were particularly grateful to Sue & Pete for accepting our grumpy dog Jack who was not the playmate that Charlie deserved! He did love the walks around the village especially down by the beautiful Gartempe as much as we did. This gite is a lovely, stylish place to completely relax and we thoroughly recommend it to those who need to really getaway from the everyday scrum but enjoy the benefits that wi-fi and UK television bring.
