Beautifully Restored Gite in Saint-Jean-d'Angely - L'Ecurie Reviews

A two-week family stay with our two children, aged 8 and 11. The region is very pleasant. The children greatly enjoyed the swimming pool. However, there were several negative points: - The cleanliness of the cottage needs improvement: there were numerous cobwebs, many of which were quite old. The bathtub hadn't been cleaned (there was hair at the bottom). The drains were clogged upon our arrival, causing a leak. The owner was responsive and arranged for an emergency plumber to fix this. - The minimum equipment required for a long stay was lacking for a cottage marketed as family-friendly. Larger stoves would have been appreciated (they were too small for a family of four). The Italian-style coffee maker could only make one cup of coffee at a time. There was no colander... - Our children's bedroom had no window, which was very unpleasant in the heat. The skylight in their bathroom was too high to open. - The Wi-Fi problem remained unresolved during our two-week stay. We had to use our mobile hotspot. The television was unusable except for playing DVDs.
