The owners, Stuart, Maggie, Grace, Vincent and Faith, live nearby in the only other house in the hamlet and will maintain a discrete distance whilst being available to ensure you have a wonderful time. The "gite" has been recently lovingly renovated from a mere shell by Stuart and Maggie with some help from the children and is finished to an extremely high standard both inside and out. The exterior walls have been lime rendered in the traditional Vendéen style known as “Pierre Apparent” or “Pierre Vu” – which means the stones of the wall are visible through the render finish. Inside there are lovely lime rendered walls with the odd piece of stonework peeking through. The wood has been cleaned up and stained to show the glorious French oak at its best – revealed beams throughout but the bedrooms with their apex ceilings are sensational. There is private parking as well as a large private garden with a terrace, pergola and plenty of lawn to play croquet on, not forgetting the cottages own private splash pool to play in.
Le Bois de Pommeau is a family-owned smallholding with an impressive “potager” (fruit & vegetable garden) and collection of friendly animals. Lula, the pet Vietnamese Potbelly pig might look scary but she’s really a big softy!
There is plenty to do at Le Bois de Pommeau or within walking distance - you can fish or splash about in the River Goire, stroll around enjoying the pastoral views or slowly wend your way through the beautiful valley enjoying the flora and fauna into Confolens. Spotting lizards, hoopoes and buzzards can become an addictive pastime!
