'This is rural France at its best: relaxed and friendly but with plenty to do and see when not relaxing by the pool'

'We had a superb time. The weather was in late 20C to mid 30 c but with the occasional breeze. We did little but admire the view - very Constable like- with the occasional glass of Bergerac wine! Great chill out. Apart from our trip to Cognac we went to Ora-sur-Glane. What an incredible and moving place. We must never forget. Please thank Mike your caretaker/manager for all his help'

'We thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight at Les Donnington. Check in went well and we liked the welcome pack. We were very grateful for all the information you sent us beforehand. Mike's additional suggestions were also a great help during our stay. The kids enjoyed themselves both in the pool and garden with the various games provided, as well as the trips to lakes with the beaches. Dad enjoyed his sailing! We shall recommend it.'

'We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at your charming cottage. What an idyll - super views, no neighbours but so close to the village. Spar was a godsend as was the Charcuterie. Everything worked well and we had a great time in the pool which was lovely and refreshing after a hot day. Having a BBQ with a glass of wine on the terrace admiring the view was wonderful. Wish we could have stayed longer.'
Graham and Shirley August 2007

'Thanks for a great stay in your lovely cottage - We enjoyed all it had to offer - the pool the views, the local cafes & restaurants as well as the various trips to Cognac and St Emillion. The books and DVD's in the house keeped us entertained for many happy hours. Your guest guide with all its information was very useful. Thanks also to Mike your caretaker/manager for his invaluable help and assistance'.

'We had a lovely time. Things turned out even better than we expected. Cottage was lovely, the view better. The trips were great and it was fun to tour Angouleme and see the culture and history and also do a bit of shopping. There was something there for all our needs and we would not hesitate to recommend Les Donnington to anyone. Many thanks'

'We had a great time at Les Donnington - it was just what the doctor ordered! We thoroughly enjoyed our trips and found St Emillion the best. Cognac was good too. The Chateau at Rochefoucauld is magnificent and Madame the owner is priceless. What excellent English. Puts my French to shame.'

'Spring at your cottage was beautiful. So refreshing and relaxing. Weather good. Have recommended you to our friends.'

'Our 2 young children loved the cows in the field opposite. The copse was a great playground for them. John and I preferred the tranquil views from the terrace and also from the copse with its romantic seat. John enjoyed his fishing at the lake below you whilst I took the children to the watersports at the Charente lakes. The cottage was lovely and met all our needs. The guest guide was excellent. We visited several of the places listed - the trip to Hennessey in Cognac was great. Thanks to Mike your caretaker /manager for his advice on places to eat. Good choices all of them, particularly the new one in L'Abre.'
