Superb stay in Saint Maigrin
Fantastic house in a great location. House is laid out in three separate en suites. Worked well for an extended family, we had three couples and children. Wi-Fi quality was superb as one our our group needed to work. Loads of toys and a well equipped kitchen. Sharon was a pleasure to deal with. Despite temp hitting 34celsius, we were never too warm. Short drives to shops. We’re hoping to stay again!

Beautiful views of the country side and a large garden too. We loved it so much We are returning next year. Thanks Jon for an amazing stay.

So good the teenagers refused to go sightseeing
Great house. Perfect for us (2 families with 1 child and 5 teenagers). The house is beautifully kept - big rooms and well supplied throughout. Christine and her son live next door and are very helpful in getting you settled in. Jon (owner) was really helpful and sent plenty of information to make the most of our stay - thanks.
Then there's the swimming pool! Couldn't keep the kids out - refused to go sightseeing.
Big garden to play in and for the dog to run around. Everyone was happy.
The village is small so there's little noise at night and amazing for star gazing too.
Overall it's a brilliant house. We had a fantastic fun and relaxing week. Shame we couldn't stay longer. We'd recommend it for any group/family/friends.

A lovely stay in St Maigrin
We had a fabulous week in St Maigrin. The house is very spacious and private with a good size pool, perfect for the 4 of us but could easily accommodate others. St Maigrin is rural France but towns and cites aren't too far away, we drove up from Bordeaux which is a fabulous city, and well worth a visit.
Thank you Jon for a wonderful holiday.

Lovely weeks stay
10 family members in all , grandparents and kids and their partners. We found this a perfect place for a great weeks holiday. Jon was excellent in all pre holiday info etc. And despite a delay it was easy to get in touch with the local contact and he was there to hand over the keys even at 9pm (4 hours late). The house had everything we needed. The rooms and en suits are new and spacious. 2 big lounges and a great kitchen with all you need for 10 and plenty of condiments. The big table on the veranda was great and we used this most evenings chatting, eating and watching the sun go down. We used the BBQ twice and it was easily big enough. The pool was great especially after being out and about all day.
Locally the supermarket at Baignes is easily big enough for the 'big shop' . Jonzac and Barbezieux are nice local towns with good places to eat (but get the timing right). The night market at Jonzac was good, live music and good food and very popular. Bordeaux is a great City to visit, places to visit and good restaurants, but we did find the traffic within 10K very busy so try the train. All in all we had an excellent time and if it wasnt for an every expanding group of family that want to come on holiday to this area with us we would come again.

Chilled week in beautiful area of France
Thanks for a lovely stay in your beautiful holiday home. It was just right for us, 2 couples and our dogs - who particularly enjoying playing in the spacious garden, whilst we enjoyed the pool. The mixture of authentic renovation and modern bathroom facilities were really welcome and you have obviously given a lot of thought to making sure your guests have everything they need with books, games, DVDs available as well as plenty of local info and recommendations.
The pre-visit info pack received was probably the most comprehensive we've ever had in many years of renting holiday properties, and many thanks for your swift responses to our questions while we were staying.
Thanks again, would recommend it to others.

A perfect stay
We just spent 2 great weeks at Maison de Lafenestre. Sharon has managed to create a very comfortable environment while maintaining the beautiful, authentic aspects of the house. There is plenty of space, both inside and out.
The beds are comfortable, long enough and made up in crispy white. Cute little bathrooms for lovely, powerful showers. The kitchen provides everything one could possibly need. The 2 ‘salons’ are wonderful with lots of space and high ceilings. Though we did not spend much time inside, it was great to find a collection of books, movies and games. The house was exceptionally clean.
During a very warm week, we managed to keep the house relatively cool by opening and closing the shutters at the appropriate times. And of course, the swimming pool… it is a good size, and the pool area is wonderful with loungers and umbrellas.
Also for our dog, this house was a perfect fit. She will miss the huge garden with plenty of corners to discover, shade to keep cool in or sunny spots for basking in the morning sun.
Saint Maigrin is tiny, there is not a single shop, so a car is needed, even to go to the bakery. If you don’t mind that, and we didn’t, you will love the space and calm. At night it gets pitch dark, the best for star gazing. All the little farmers roads on the rolling hills provide countless kilometres for quiet and safe walks and runs with beautiful views over the green, open and friendly area of Charente Maritime.
Communication with Sharon was quick and easy throughout. Christine was very welcoming upon arrival and did a great introductory tour of the house and grounds.
We loved our stay. Thank you, Sharon.
