Description from owner

Description

Viki and Richard welcome you to their farmhouse gite in Arces, close to Royan in South West France. Here you will enjoy the peace of the countryside while being only 10 minutes from the nearest beaches.

We have recently completed the renovation of our lovely 18th century farm complex to create both a home for us and a spacious and comfortable gite. The original farmhouse, a Charentaise demi-longère has become the gite with 4 en suite double/twin bedrooms sleeping up to 8, living room, kitchen and private gardens. We have created our own living space alongside in the barns and farm buildings.

When the gite is not in use we offer the two downstairs bedroom suites as Chambre d'Hôtes or bed and breakfast.

Response from the owner Oooh – 5 star record broken! Strange (and sad) that occasionally you meet somebody who is determined to have a miserable time. The matriarch of this 3 generation family group seems to have been one of these, or maybe there were hidden tensions . . . Being a traditional Charentaise house it is true that the floor of the upstairs room is the ceiling of the one below – that’s how they are built and how families lived for centuries. There is no dampness in this house, especially in mid-summer, although I admit that where one shower had leaked there was a little black patch in the corner. There was indeed humidity – the natural result of unusually heavy and stormy Atlantic summer weather. The fridge is not broken, but the mammoth bottle of coke left squeezed into the door did stop it closing properly. Unlimited free organic fruit does occasionally attract an insect or two, but nothing compared to a pint of beer in a pub garden. Sadly, despite leaving this review, this party did not book via Trip Advisor otherwise I could have reviewed the guests and commented on the pig-sty which faced us when they left. Ah well – you can’t win them all ;)
