Lovely relaxing property
We had a great time at La Garenne. Dave and Heather were really helpful and provided us with ideas of family activities and local restaurants (all of which were lovely) and the gite was well equipped with everything needed. The pool is also much bigger than the picture shows - perfect for our 8 and 10 year olds to play in. Great boulangerie and bar in the village too.

Exceeded expectations
The property looked good on the website but it exceeded our expectations. A lot of thought and work has gone into making the gîte a very comfortable and well equipped place to holiday. Lovely, thoughtful, kind and discreet hosts. If we holiday in the area in the future we wouldn’t hesitate to book it again

Relaxing week
Great location by the river in this peaceful part of France. Nice property, well-equipped and top marks for the spacious and proper shower. Dave and Heather couldn't have been more helpful (without being intrusive). Thanks for a great week!

Perfect Gite for couples and small families
Dave and Heather couldn't have been more kind and helpful from arrival to departure, however they did not intrude on our privacy at any time. The gite has a lot of character and is equipped to a very high standard. Everything we needed was there. We particularly enjoyed the plunge pool with decking for sunbathing and outside seating area. It was very nice walking out the front door in the morning to the view of the river and town with the smell of fresh lavender. The boulangerie in Exideuil just the other side of the river sells great croissants, bread and cakes. The bikes Dave provided were used regularly in the mornings to visit the boulangerie We would definitely return in the future and highly recommend this accommodation.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Higgs

Host profile image
Dave, Heather and family moved to France in 2009.

We had been holidaying in France for many years and decided that it was time for a permanent change in our life style.

We loved the region for its unspoilt beauty and the friendliness of the inhabitants. They made us feel welcome and were proud of their little part of France. We now want to try to share that with other travellers.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be in rural France and within driving distance of the channel ports. The village is equidistant from the major towns of Limoges and Angouleme. These provide links to both airports and motorway networks.

The house is beside the river Vienne and opposite the small village of Exideuil. The village has some shops and is just a few minutes walk away.

The peace and quiet of the location, along with the abundant wild life make it a very relaxing place to spend those lazy afternoons.

What makes this property unique

Fantastic riverside views.

Private garden with your own private splash pool.

You can walk to the village to collect your daily groceries and bread. Then spend a leisurely breakfast on the balcony or patio.

There is plenty of wildlife to watch, or perhaps those budding artists would like to paint or draw.

There are river activities outside our doorstep and these include canoeing and fishing.

The property is on some of the designated circular walks and cycle tracks in the area and is an ideal base to explore the Charente countryside.
