Getting around

We are situated 2.5km from Segonzac which has all the amenities you would expect to find in a small town. However in rural France there is little in the way of public transport. A car is essential but there is easy parking at the SNCF station at Jarnac, about 15 minutes drive. Jarnac links to Cognac, Saintes or La Rochelle. A slightly longer drive will take you to Jonzac which links to Bordeaux.

Interaction with guest

Although we live on site and are available to guests , we also respect their privacy. The gite entrance faces away from our house and is close to the pool area. The gite also has its own private garden where guests can while away the hours.

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the trouble to post this lovely review. We are so glad you were able to relax and unwind during your time with us. It is rather more hectic around the Cognac area as there are 12,000+ cyclists on their cyclotourisme week! We wish you well with your future plans.

Response from the owner Thanks for your review. We are aware of the water pressure problem and once this season is over we hope to rectify it. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about it once we have guests in the gite without causing them considerable inconvenience. Once we reach the end of the season at the end of September, we will then start work on it and hopefully next season there will be more powerful pressure.
