Disliked: Cleanliness
The peoperty has potential to be amazing but needs some investment to bring it up to standard. It wasn't very clean, there was a very odd smell in the gite, and there were some weird 'quirks' like random items in the wardrobe, lots of non-essential things not working (like the playstation), and it just felt a bit unloved which give it a weird vibe. It's a shame as it's a massive property with really nice big rooms and lots of space for everyone.

Family group holiday
The house and area had everything for a mixed family group from grandparents to the youngest at 9
Response to a problem was swift and very satisfactory.
The pool, grounds and house are beautiful and well equipped

Plenty of space both in and outside. Kitchen and lounge areas very good as is the pool area. Only drawback was the high temperature in the gite (we had outside day temperatures around 35). Conveniently positioned for Aubterre and only a few miles from good stores.

Perfect for family reunions
We had the best time during our stay, we organised the house to have as a base for friends and family to visit us. Which was perfect, the pool and BBQ area is amazing lots of room to get together, catch up and chill. Emma the owner was very understanding over a surprise guest of a dog for a few nights. Overall amazing place and lots of room definitely suitable for multi families if needed. Would definitely recommend! ❤️
There are a few issues; Despite being listed with aircon you are required to pay €100 cash to have the remotes released. Luckily we did not require the aircon during our stay, however, if it was available may have made our stay more comfortable.
Some of the rooms are suffering from damp which needs to be addressed, particularly the room off the dinning area.
It was tidy, well equipped and surface clean. Definitely requires a deep clean or supply better cleaning supplies.
Location: the location is great. There is a river beach a few minutes walk away with a playground, bar and restaurant perfect for a day out. Approx. 5min drive brings you to a lovely little french village plenty to keep you occupied for a few days. It has a local well stocked shop, pharmacy, a few restaurants, bars and cafes plus a few boutique shops. We did find the intermarché in Chalais more affordable so definitely worth the trip for supplies.
Kayaking is only available from July which was a bit disappointing but may benefit further travellers.
Thanks for a wonderful holiday!🥐

Very enjoyable stay
We really liked this property. Wish the holiday could have lasted longer. The river beach and river beach bar were a short walk away and very enjoyable. Pre-booked the 2 hour kayak tour from the local kayak place which was great fun. The local town was lovely too.

Good house in a great position
We really enjoyed our stay and the house was great for us as it accommodated the twelve us so well. One or two minor problems but Ian who looked after the house was always available to help. Aubeterre is beautiful and so good to be able to walk there. We played tennis down the road and used the river beach. Good garden for the children to play in and the golfers to practise their chipping, and we didn’t disturb the grumpy neighbour too much. Great pool and lots of starry nights! Thanks for lending us your house.

Great bucolic view from pool
Was ok - which is only normal considering the price. The noise from the road nearby is indeed only in the mornings and in the evenings. The view from the pool is superb ... cows, trees and very quiet ! We actually lived at the pool since ( as you can see on the picture ) you could shelter from the sun there , enjoy your meals, etcetere.

Beautiful place and fabulous house done to a very high spec. We had a few issues about getting our deposit back and being blamed for things that were nothing to do with us. Found this very unsettling as we had been in touch with the owner before and during the holiday and she had always come back immediately and seemed very friendly and polite. Our deposit was eventually refunded in full, but only after we had sent a very long email explaining everything to her and chased up a few times. This put a slight blight on a very enjoyable holiday

A wonderful week spent in a gorgeous house!
This was the second time we stayed at Le Mauguillard - we loved it so much the first that we booked it again as soon as we got home! It's such a lovely house and has everything you could need/want. Even on days when the weather's not great, the house is big enough and has enough to do in it, that you never feel like you're living in each other's pockets. The owner, Emma, has always been extremely helpful with any queries we've had and the property managers, Janine and Jurgen, were fantastic too - always there if we had any problems. We will no doubt be back again!

Très chouette demeure
Belle maison , bel espace.
Plutôt bien équipée. Espace piscine très appréciable et très appréciée.
Les petits points à améliorer seraient de bien nettoyer le frigo entre chaque location et d’ajouter un batteur électrique.
