We had a very relaxing and peaceful week at La Pavilion in the tranquil village of Saint-Fraigne. The boulangerie in the village and the well-stocked “Contact” supermarket a short drive away were both excellent. On arrival we received a warm welcome from our hosts Kathy and Mick. They were friendly, helpful and ready to advise when we needed them, but otherwise happy to leave us to our own devices. The house was comfortable, spacious and well-equipped, The garden and pool area was similarly spacious, with sun-loungers and lovely shaded areas. The large pool was one of the nicest we have ever used and was greatly appreciated during the recent heatwave, enabling us to look forward to cooling off when we returned from sightseeing. We enjoyed visiting the towns of Angouleme, Saintes and Cognac and the surrounding countryside, and we hope to return to continue exploring this beautiful area. Many thanks from Ted and Anne.Guest rating:
Spent a week here with the whole family and was amazing! So much space and the pool was great. Owners were very friendly and helpful with knowledge on the area etc. Will definitely be returning! Loved the fact we didn’t have to worry about tea coffee etc, bread jam etc. So the first night was lovely to relax after a long drive. Loved it!Guest rating:
Very friendly welcome by owners on arrival. Shown around property and then left to enjoy the "welcome" goodies in the kitchen and the beautiful house. The house was clean, bright, tastefully decorated and furnished, very well equipped with plenty of space and set in great surroundings. The garden was private, large and thoughtfully landscaped, with different areas for relaxing peacefully or playing games. The big pool was not overlooked and there were plenty of loungers and chairs around it. The BBQ was ideally situated near the patio and also close enough to the pool for after swim eating! There is easy access to large towns with their varied and plentiful shops, and also places to visit nearby, but if choose to do little driving and just stay put unwinding, this is the place for you. Reassuring to have the owners nearby should they be needed.Guest rating:
We stayed here as a family in May half term. The accommodation was really spacious, and there was space to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. The pool was a focal point and exclusive use meant we could enjoy time together as a family. Mick and Kathy were on hand to answer any questions and made us feel very welcome. They also provided a good welcome pack and information about where to eat and visit in the local area which they supplemented when we chatted to them. The village was quiet with an excellent Boulangarie 2 minutes walk away. We had a lovely relaxing holiday and would visit again.Guest rating:
