“I needed some time away from everything, and this little cottage was a godsend. Located in a beautiful, typical and very well preserved part of the French countryside, it's a great region for many things : biking, hiking, sightseeing... even just sitting around feels like a privilege. Extremely peaceful, quiet, and away from everything, yet reassuringly close to nearby villages where everything is available. Truly a unique relaxing experience. The cottage itself is a very authentic little stone house - nothing superfluous, but very functional and complete with everything one would need. More importantly, so cozy and comfortable it immediately feels like home. The fireplace gives a welcoming feel, the beds will have you sleeping like there's no tomorrow, etc... I could've honestly stayed there for years! And the hosts : Barbara and Chris are honestly the greatest, most lovable people - very delicate and considerate about your privacy, but willing to make your stay great in any way they can. Barbara, Chris, thank you for making this short stay such an unexpectedly wonderful one! I hope I'll get back to this little patch of heaven soon :)”

What a great stay we had at ‘Chez Fert’ and the soothing surroundings. Time slips easily away when you can relax in the prize-winning garden overlooking the peaceful hills.
Thank you very much Chris and Barbara for everything. It was just perfect.

A lovely holiday. A brilliant base to see Charente, Charente Maritine, Perigord and yes we ventured into the Dordogne.
Gite very comfortable, hosts friendly and very helpful. Lovely pastries and muffins. Thank you very much Barbs & Chris.

A truly wonderfull location, with really excellent hosts, Barbara and Chris.
This year was my 4th visit to enjoy the beautifull surrounding area of the Charante, and to spend much time Carp fishing with Chris, who knows all the good lakes, and how to play and land 20+lbs fish.
The Gite is very comfortable, and the surrounding gardens just right to spend a lazy day reading, or just taking in the view.
Thankyou Barbara and Chris for making my stays with you so memorable.

We have visited Chez Fert twice. My wife has some series disabilities so the cottage itself apart from being very pretty is brilliant for her needs. We find the garden an oasis of calm and beauty in its own right as well as it being a thrill to pick fruit from the trees if a trip to the village shops is too much trouble. The area is a gateway to the Dordogne as well as all the fascinations of the Poitou - Charentes region.The only problem in exploring the region is dragging oneself away from the tranquilllty of Chez Fert and its gardens and the hospitality of Chris and Barbara our happy and caring hostesses. Due to illness we were unable to continue our love affair with Chez Fert last year but we are hoping to return in 2015. John and Susie Latham, Warwickshire, England.

Fabulous property.
A lovely warm welcome from the owners. Super clean and comfortable accommodation. We had everything we needed. Super views, from a lovely garden, and a nice walk down a quiet country lane for our 2 dogs. Quiet countryside, but close to good amenities. Would definitely...Mor

A Truly peaceful retreat! We enjoyed every minute of our stay.
The cats of course added an extra dimension, they were lovely, great company, (especially TJ).
The garden, Starlight nights and rolling countryside were all a real treat.
We will be returning!

We had a lovely stay. Not only did we enjoy the quiet, large garden with the many spots to sit either in the sun or shade, but also the occasional chat with Chris and Barbara. They informed us of nice places to visit and listened to the stories of our house-hunting trips.
It is certainly a place we will recommend to others.
