Upstairs are two bedrooms. The Master can be double or twin and has a desk to use as a dressing table or if someone needs to work quietly.

Both upstairs bedrooms are large enough to take a cot if required. Electric fans are provided in all bedrooms, but as the stone walls are very thick, the rooms tend to stay quite cool. A welcome pack is provided for your arrival enabling you to make a drink and snack until you can get to the shops. We also provide cleaning products and paper goods, as who wants to buy toilet paper on their holidays?!
Val & Ian's place exceeded our expectations- not least because they were such easy-going, thoughtful and lovely hosts! The house is fantastic, possibly the best equipped we've ever stayed in and spotlessly clean. Here are some of the things (that are often missing) which really 5 starred this place to the max: Sharp knives, choice of pillows, salad spinner, separate chopping boards (which we appreciate as vegetarians), blue tooth speaker, inflatables for the pool and garden games, loads of louongers and outdoor chairs, plenty of crockery (so you can actually use the dish washer) AND the best welcome pack we've ever had... cold beers and wine in the fridge, milk, tea, coffee, snacks, bread, jam, cheese and all cleaning products and loo roll. What a difference it makes after a really long drive to arrive to everything you might need on your first night/morning! On the second day the freezer mysteriously stopped working and Val & Ian were on it immediately to the extent that they bought a new fridge freezer to replace the one that had stopped working that day. We've never before experienced hosts who were so caring for our holiday experience and bent over backwards like this to fix a problem. Val even replaced the ice-creams we'd lost for the kids! The village has a perfect little shop for morning bread & croissants and Confolens is nearby and very pretty. To be honest we didn't spend much time aay from the house as it was very hot, but also because we felt so completely relaxed there. We all loved the pool and we couldn't have asked for a better place for our extended family to have a holiday together. A MASSIVE recommendation from us, and a huge THANK YOU to Val & Ian for doing airBnB so brilliantly!
Pouvet is on the outskirts of the village of Alloue in the Charente region of Nouvelle Aquitaine.
It is ideal for people who like to walk, cycle, canoe or simply relax.
There is a small bakery and bar in the village, but the nearest village with full amenities is Champagne Mouton, 8 minutes drive away, where there is a Carrefour Contact supermarket, an artisan bakery, small Friday market, pharmacy, bank, cash point and café.
The larger town of Confolen is a 15 minute drive away, and Ruffec, which has a great Saturday market and a wider range of shops is 30 minutes.
There are lots of restaurants within a 30 minute drive and we can give you advice to suit your tastes and budget - eating out is our favourite pass time!
The city of Angouleme is an hour away and great for shopping, eating out and people watching, along with site seeing. Poitiers and Limoges are around 90 minutes drive.
Cognac and neighbouring Jarnac are beautiful towns and you can visit the distilleries of Remi Martin and Courvoisier amongst others. These are around an hours drive.
There are lots of other activities within 30 minutes to an hour, from our favourite, Vallee des Singes, which is a monkey sanctuary, to the historical Oradour- sur- Glane, a very moving war memorial site. We will help you to find things that work for you if you need our assistance.
Having a car is essential. There is amble parking at Pouvet, and the local areas are easy to find access to parking spaces. In the village and towns there is normally no charge for parking, but in the cities you have to pay but the cost is normally reasonable.
Poitier and Angouleme have train stations with direct trains to Paris, should you wish to take a day trip to see the buzzing city.
