Le Clos des Jardins

This is simply one of the beautiful and peaceful places available on Sawdays and we have ever stayed at. It's the only self catering holiday I have ever returned to. Each of the three gites are well resourced and have everything you could possibly need - and if they don't the owners will happily try and arrange. The pool area is wonderful, while the animals and PYO garden makes you feel like you are stepping back in time (well, it does if you live in South London). Alison and Francis are also the most perfect hosts and lovely people. You really could not wish for more.

What treasure! Le Clos des Jardins is utterly beautiful. There is nothing that hasn’t been considered for total comfort, relaxation and an absolute home from home. Alison and Francis are incredible hosts making us feel so at home in La Laiterie . Thank you!

L’Ecurie is, sans doute, the very best gite we’ve ever stayed in. It is absolutely perfect for two people. So much thought and care has gone into making everything inside beautiful, harmonious and comfortable. Outside, we enjoyed the lovely private courtyard garden and admired the sparkling pool. Everything needed for self-catering was readily to hand. Most important, Alison and Francis were perfect hosts; charming and friendly but never intrusive, always there with help and advice when needed. For a week’s relaxation in the rural tranquillity of the Poitou-Charente, this is the perfect base.

What a wonderful place to while away a week. Francis and Alison were the perfect hosts. They have created a delightful venue that allows you to truly unwind. Our property was beautifully decorated and gave us a taste of French country living enhanced by modern day essentials in kitchen and bathroom. The gardens are a delight and the magnificent pool area an idyllic place to soak up the sun. We particularly loved dining on our terrace, enjoying fresh produce picked from the garden, while watching the sun set and stars emerge. La Laiterie proved to be la creme de la creme.
