Summary: Morag and Vince were fantastic hosts and couldn’t do enough for us, always there to help if needed. Great property, location and hosts. Lots to do in the surrounding area and Saintes with its bakery near Hyper U is definitely worth a visit.

Summary: The property had everything we needed for the stay. We arrived late but Vincent and Morag had thoughtfully kept the log fire burning. We arrived to a lovely warm gite after that we expected to buy our own logs and as soon as the logs had gone they were replaced. There was a welcome basket and a few essentials so you did not have to rush out first thing. We enjoyed our stay in the quiet and peaceful surroundings with the bustle of Saintes 10 minutes away. Great location. Thank you Vincent and Morag.

Summary: We felt very welcome from the time we arrived until we left. Morag & Vince were really friendly hosts, they provided information on the local and surrounding areas and are on site should they be needed. The Gite is lovely, clean, neat and tidy with everything provided for an extremely comfortable stay, including a welcome basket which was as very nice touch and appreciated. Ruby their rescue dog was an added bonus, a friendly lady with a bit of character. We would highly recommend the Gite and Morag & Vince would be our first point of contact for availability should/when we return to the Sainte area. Lesley & Ian Manners

Summary: We stayed a month in this lovely Gite on holiday from Australia. Its in a lovely area near Sainte and Portd'Envaux, rural yet close to all city amenities. The Gite is beautifully appointed, clean and tastefully decorated and has everything in it you can think of to need, Morag and Vince were great hosts ready to help with advice as needed but not at all intrusive and obliging with any extra request we had such as printing visas etc. I can highly recommend this Gite for a short or long stay, its a sweet spot in France.
