A very pleasant welcome and communication by Rod and Pasha. An ideal place to visit either national park, interesting site like roman thermal site, Oradour sur Glane, Rochechouart castle,... and near the Charente lakes. Cottage very well equiped and spacious.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in le Mas. The gite was well equipped and comfortable with some extra touches such as the welcome provisions. We cooked most nights and found everything we needed in the small but perfectly formed kitchen. Pasha and Rod were the perfect hosts and made us feel welcome from the start to the end of our stay. We were very lucky with the weather, 33 degrees the high, and the garden was a lovely place to relax after a busy day visiting some of the many places of interest nearby. Would recommend Brantome and Oradour sur Glane as well as a Tuk Tuk tour of the vineyards of St Emillion if you fancy going further afield.

Wonderful place to stay in the middle of beautiful nature and calm. Pasha and Rod gave us a warm welcome and all support we needed to enjoy our holidays.

We had a lovely week-long stay in the gite, hosted by Rod, Pasha and the boys - it is a great place to get away from it all and to relax thoroughly. The gite is the perfect space for two, with oodles of character - the interior manages to strike a great balance between space, practicality & comfort. The gite is in a rural location and the surrounding countryside is readily accessible, either on foot, or by taking advantage of the two bikes, which Pasha & Rod have left at guests disposal. The pretty town of Rochechouart is only a ten minute drive, with the larger St. Junian another five or ten minutes further away, so stocking up with gourmet goodies was easy! There is also a nearby village with the obligatory Boulangerie - its only a few minutes in the car, so no issues if you like your croissants super-fresh in the morning. There are also a number of lakes very nearby for swimming, fishing & boating. Our hosts were just fab, doing all they could to ensure we had all we needed to enjoy our stay - they are a great family and we wouldnt hesitate in recommending the gite as a destination for a relaxing and special break away.
