Secluded Holiday Home with Pool on A Private 8 Acre Estate - Charente, South West France Reviews

When we first arrived at Les Croix, it was instantly obvious that the scenery was stunning, the place had a calm and tranquil atmosphere to it that we deeply enjoyed.The surrounding area was quiet and ideal for a perfect fishing experience as well as a chill out holiday for family. The cottage was beautiful and clean, the rooms are spacious and equipped with fans which were helpful to stay cool in the warm temperatures. The pool was perfect for relaxing around and cooling off in the hot weather. The wifi was amazing the entire trip and the TV which was set at english time and was regular british TV was absolutely spot on compared to staying somewhere with french TV channels. The area surrounding is quiet and never busy, making it easier and less stressful to drive. The close town of Saint Junien had many supermarkets and an adequate amount of shops for a shopping trip. We also had the pleasure of trying Jon’s cooking one night and his curry was to die for and we wish we could have eaten more of his food. As we brought our dog Roxy, Jon’s dog Bailey was very friendly and got on with her well. We spent a lot of time around Bailey who was just the most friendly dog. The two dogs got on well and would run around for hours. On nights we’d sit outside and watching the sun set past the trees which was just beautiful to watch. The fish certainly gave us a show and gave Jeff and Jack their own PB’s which made them both very happy during their holiday. The rules on Les Croix allowed Jeff to have enough time to fish and enjoy his time off work, the protocol Jon has is spot on and really shows his love for the lake and the fish. It was a new experience completely compared to any holiday we’ve been on and it was so worth it.
