Here are a few of the reviews that
we have received from our guests.
We will return
The setting is very charming, tastefully maintained by the owners. The
bed and breakfast is welcoming and comfortable, very clean. Lovely and
helpful owners. We will come back and recommend this place. -

Wonderful family holiday
We really enjoyed our holiday in Paquerette
gîte. The gîte is spacious, clean and had everything a family
would need. The pool, with the additional shaded area, was fantastic.
There was plenty to do in the locality - Fontdouce adventure park was
a favourite of ours, the Plage des Vergnes in Meschers sur Gironde,
Pons centre for food in Le Français. Tim and Vanessa were nearby
to answer any queries and to drop in fresh plums from the garden. We
would certainly recommend Gîtes du Vigneron as a holiday base.

Excellent holiday
We had an excellent stay in the Pervenche gîte
Tim and Vanessa are charming hosts. They have lots of little touches
towards their guests.
For example, they had removed a bed since there were only 3 of us so
that our daughter would have more space in her room. They closed the
pool later on a hot day so we could cool off...

A much needed break of two
days and would have been very happy to stay for two weeks!
Beautiful and spacious chambre d’hôte.
Spotlessly clean, charming hosts and an amazing breakfast! Thankyou
Vanessa and Tim for your hospitality.

We’ll be back
We had a very good stay in a gîte where you felt at home. The
cottage is very well equipped, clean and very nicely decorated.
The children took full advantage of all the facilities: a well-maintained
swimming pool, heated and therefore very pleasant, but also all the
indoor and outdoor play areas.
Vanessa and Tim take great care of young and old alike, which makes
the stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely come back. -

A little by chance
A bit by chance, we discovered Les Gîtes
du Vigneron in June.
We stayed in the chambre d’hôte
for one night and were immediately seduced by the property!
Comfort, cleanliness, welcome from Tim and
Vanessa and also the superb swimming pool and possible visits to the
region.
We naturally booked for a few days of vacation,
at the beginning of September.
Our first impression was confirmed and we
recommend these places to those looking for comfort, tranquility and
quality of welcome!
We have already booked for 2024! -

Ideal family holiday venue
We hired the entire Gites and Chambre D’
Hote complex for a week in August 2023 for a multi-
generational family holiday (age range 1 -68). We are familiar with
the area having had many family
holidays in the Charente Maritime Department since 1984 and having relatives
who live in the area.
The main attraction of this complex were the facilities for children,
particularly the covered play area
and heated swimming pool, all within a secure site with both site perimeter
fencing with automatic
locking entrance gates. This was supplemented with a high standard of
internal fencing thereby
providing very high standard of precautions to minimise the risk to
the children (ages 1-6).
This did not diminish their enjoyment in
using and exploring the play equipment in a safe and secure
environment. Likewise, the heated pool was a great success with the
two older boys both learning to
swim without the need for swimming aids – a great result for both
Arlo and Rory.
The green spaces provided plenty of room
for ball games including cricket and football which could
be completed without interfering with other activities or having to
retrieve balls from adjacent
gardens or fields.
The external space provided plenty of opportunities
for communal meals and relaxation whilst we
watched the sunset and the relatively ’dark sky’ gradually
revealed the stars of the cosmos. All whilst
the local bats started hunting for insects and the Scops owls called.
The gite accommodation was to a high standard
and was well equipped providing all the essentials
as well as being very comfortable and well presented.
Tim and Vanessa were excellent hosts being
available to help as necessary, for example printing
fishing licences that had been purchased on-line for a trout fishing
expedition to a chalk river near
Angouleme.
There is much to see and enjoy in the area
including the Chez Bob restaurant at St. Palais sur Mer,
the distilleries at Cognac, Pons and its castle, as well as the nearby
river Charente with its bankside
pop up restaurant at Rouffiac serenaded by the fluting calls of golden
orioles.
We had a great time and would be delighted
to return. –

Unforgettable family stay
We will keep an unforgettable memory of
our family stay (parents, children, grandchildren), 19 in total, divided
in the gîtes Chèvrefeuille, Pâquerette and Pervenche,
quite close in this vast and secure enclosed space. From the reservation
to our departure, our hosts Tim and Vanessa made life easy for us (choice
of gites, privatization of the place, arrangement of the beds according
to the configuration of the family, moving the tables in the gite Pâquerette,
central and bright for our meals together). These 3 days of Easter were
an ideal short break for the 3 generations thanks to an exceptional
sun, an unexpected opening of the swimming pool, vast and numerous play
areas including the one for the young children, spacious and well decorated
rooms, which lent themselves to relaxation and happy chattering of the
7 young people from 6 to 11 years old, and fully equipped kitchens.
Thank you again for the kindness and caring of Tim and Vanessa. -

Very satisfying stay
We are a group of 7 friends who stayed 5
days at the "gîte des vignerons". We are unanimously
very satisfied with our stay.
First of all, we appreciated the welcome and the availability of Tim
and Vanessa. The gîtes are very nice, comfortable, spacious and
functional with a good internet connection and a secure car park.
We also enjoyed the nice little village with its pretty houses.
It's a beautiful place for a quiet stay that we recommend. –
