Lovely clean, beautifully decorated studio. Friendly owners and great views.

Only two things prevent us giving 5*s: the tiny sink in the bathroom meant it was impossible to clean your teeth without spitting on the floor. It was also really cold in the studio. We were offered a calor gas heater which we used and it was really efficient but we had to pay an extra 6 euros a day for it.

An outstanding holiday amongst the vines

we were looking for a gite in a special location to holiday with our dogs, and that is exactly what we got and more!! La Porcherie is situated amogst the vines, with amazing views, and in a very special village. Our hosts Trisha and Andy were amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay special, even when we got lost on several occasions!! These are 2 very special people!!! La Porcherie was immaculately presented. Fabulous gite, with everything that you need. The secure garden for the dogs was brilliant, and the dogs loved being out there. We can recommend this place enough, and will definitely be back, "we came as guests but left as friends". La Porcherie and Trish and Andy have a special place in our hearts. Thank you so much for having us!!

Great location among the vines

This is a nicely done cute little barn conversion. The building was originally a pig shed! The English owners live in the adjoining farmhouse and they could not have been more welcoming and helpful. This small studio is Ideal for a short break with dogs because the small garden allocated to the barn has a wire mesh fence surround proving peace of mind that they won't escape! The pool in the owner's part of the garden is well maintained and delightful with a fabulous view over the adjacent vineyards. The kitchenette is fine for cooking up breakfast and snacks but not ideal if you are wanting to cook much more. There is very little storage space anywhere! The shower is good with plenty of hot water but the wash basin is tiny - really only meant for hand washing and maybe teeth cleaning. So we used the kitchen sink! The bed is good and has a firm mattress. We enjoyed our stay - the pool and the peace and quiet - and there's an excellent restaurant nearby in the village!

Joli coin très tranquille au cœur des vignes

Très satisfait de notre séjour. Des hôtes très agréables et sachant être discret mais présent qui nous ont accueilli dans ce gite cosy et plein de charmes. Une région pleines de découvertes, gastronomiques mais pas que. Ce sera avec un réel plaisir qui nous reviendrons

La porcherie Anglaises

Studio au milieu des vignes, lumineux, très confortable et décoré avec goût ... les propriétaires et leurs compagnons à quatre pattes sont très discrets. Le plus la piscine â disposition , le moins la communication est un peux compliqué si vous ne parlez pas anglais .

Perfect gite in beautiful surroundings

On arrival we were warmly greeted by Andy and Trish who showed us around their stunning gite and swimming pool. Having arrived on a Sunday we were greeted with local wine, Camembert cheese, bread and Trish's homemade jam. This we enjoyed whilst sitting on our private terrace overlooking the vineyards and plum trees. Trish and Andy were perfect hosts and we look forward to returning!

Romantic clean tasteful comfortable and a great location.

Andy and Tricia were incredible hosts They had filled the gite with everything you would ever need. Thoughtful touches like milk bread butter cheese and a bottle of wine. The bed was comfortable like the pillows. The swimming pool was great. Nothing was to much trouble and our hosts were only to glad to give their knowledge about the local area. Thank you so much for a great stay.
