If you want to feel completely looked after and cared for, this is the place to be. From the very beginning, Jen and Nick could not have been more warm and welcoming, meaning we could truly relax and enjoy our escape to the stunning French countryside.Everything about our stay was perfect. The interior is beautifully designed and well thought through. The bedrooms and communal areas are modern without sacrificing a homely feeling. You can tell the hosts have poured their hearts into renovating the gîtes to an exemplary standard.The rest of the property is equally stunning, with a lovely pool area as well as a cosy covered area lit by fairy lights.The food was absolutely exquisite - every meal featured a beautiful and generous selection of inventive dishes using fresh ingredients, many of which were sourced from the neighbouring area. So not only are Jen and Nick the friendliest hosts you could wish for, but they are incredibly talented in the kitchen too.We spent much of our trip plotting our return - we can't wait to come back with our families to show off this gem we are so pleased to have discovered.
We had such a lovely week at La cour de Husson! We took the train from London which was really straightforward and hired a car from Angouleme for the week. Gite 2 was a delightful space with the comfiest bedding and furniture and everything we needed for a week of mostly self catering. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind in a peaceful setting but with plenty to keep us and our two boys occupied on site and in the local area too. Jen and Nick added some lovely touches to our stay (an incredible welcome hamper with homemade cakes, welcome cocktails, delicious breakfasts and a picnic) which made the holiday feel quite special. They gave us so much information about things to do in the local area we didn’t have to do much to plan our days out and it was a revelation to travel in France and eat so well! Paddle boarding and kayaking trips on the Charente followed by a relax by the pool were holiday highlights. Vegan or not we can’t recommend a stay at La Cour de Husson highly enough.
Our visit to La Cour de Husson was a dream come true. Actually, it surpassed my imagination. As a vegan family, we thought it might be tough to visit the French countryside. But we had the dreamiest holiday. The beautifulhome, days spent by the pool, epic scenery, even the weather was perfect. And homemade vegan ice cream, come on! Jen and Nick are super hosts and went above and beyond to help us have the best, most relaxed time. We are vegan gîte converts now and we're already counting the days until we return. Merci pour tout!
The ultimate gîte experience in France. We travelled as a family of five with young teens. Beautiful, stylish and spacious accommodation with super comfortable beds, all brand new equipment and generous Grind coffee supply with home made delicious baked treats. Plenty of well tendered outdoor space with gorgeous pool, hammocks and fun barn to play in. Endless supply of home made ice cream/sorbet, soft drinks, iced coffees along with delicious vegan breakfasts. So much thought and care into every aspect! The best bit - the hosts! Nothing was too much trouble! Jen even baked a cake for my son’s birthday! This is luxury gîte living. And the local area is fantastic! Within 15 minutes drive, fun lakes, tranquil rivers, beautiful villages and a summer of fun, authentic French experiences - broccantes, bric a brac, Cognac tasting, food markets and endless sunflowers etc. The perfect combination of relaxation and fun. Book while you can. This gem is sure to fill up with returning guests… us included! Helen Palmer, July 2024.
We had the most wonderful week in the beautiful two bedroom gite, which is well equipped, spacious and very comfortable, with two double bedrooms (one huge) and a big bathroom. And the views across the fields are fantastic. Jen and Nick are the perfect hosts…they’re when needed and so attentive. They provided us with breakfast on two mornings and it was absolutely delicious. The pool is clean and fabulous to swim in and the area around it has plenty of loungers and parasols. It is peaceful too. Free parking on site was a bonus. There is only one other gite currently on the site so there are very few folk around making it very quiet and relaxing. Lots of places to visit including nearby villages where there are some great little restaurants and bars. All in all, a brilliant holiday and a place we will definitely rebook in the future. Marvellous.
We enjoyed the most wonderful week at La Cour de Husson. The Gite was both beautifully presented and absolutely spotless. Jen and Nick (and Betty the dog) are wonderful hosts who have thought of everything and made us feel completely at home. Nothing was too much trouble. This is a very special place within easy reach of idyllic villages and towns. The perfect place for a quintessentially French holiday.
Just wanted to say a huge than you to Nick & Jen, our wonderful hosts for a Vegan patisserie weekend! The family and I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend long course, it was so much much fun, French patisserie chef Fifi was fabulous, we learned lots of new techniques, ate lots of fabulous vegan meals and - perhaps best of all - got to eat our body weight in Vegan friendly patisserie! I couldn't recommend La Cour de Husson (Beautiful!) any more highly!
Amazing experience at this beautiful holiday homes. The house is perfect, has everything you need for a lovely stay. It's beautifully decorated and with all the amenities you would expect at home. We stayed with our baby daughter and the hosts provided a travel cot and high chair.The grounds and house is absolutely stunning, with a huge garden, great pool, BBQ etc and set in lovely fields. Very quiet, relaxing area but with plenty to do nearby. The hosts are super nice and accommodating. The vegan breakfast was a highlight also.Loved our stay there and would certainly come again.
Such an idyllic little stay at La Cour de Husson - tucked away in a peaceful but super accessible part of Charente, SW France. Our lovely hosts Jen and Nick could NOT have been more welcoming and hospitable - arming us with all the information and advice we could ever need for our trip! Around every corner there is a truly thoughtful touch - welcoming guests with any kind of need. We felt SO looked after. The gîte itself was stunning - kitted out tastefully and stylishly, treating us to a real slice of luxury inside these stunning historic buildings.I was personally after a trip where I was able to switch off and relax, but also be able to explore a bit of this fairytale part of France - and this stay really delivered! We were able to find real peace chilling out in the gîte, but also enjoyed fun days out cognac tasting, exploring local towns, eating cake in local villages, going for evening walks through the fields and even visited some historical sites and museums (thanks to Jen & Nick's amazing recommendations!) I honestly barely had to use my brain the whole time - and had no idea how much I needed that!I cannot recommend La Cour de Husson enough - and can't thank Jen & Nick enough for being such brilliant hosts. We will absolutely be back!
We had a fantastic time at La Cour de Husson. . Jen and Nick were super hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. A welcome basket awaited us. We had breakfast made for us twice whilst we were there. It was absolutely delicious. The gite was wonderful, had everything you needed. Lovely quiet surrounding. We didn't want to leave. Can highly recommend a visit.
The most stunning farmhouse and perfect holiday let. We hired both gites as a family and had the best time. Jen and Nick were such lovely hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The food is exceptional- I’m going to dream about those breakfasts for a long time. Stylish, beautiful decor and the comfiest beds.Thank you for the best stay- we will 100% be returning!
We have just returned from our second stay at La Cour de Husson and we had another fantastic stay. Jen and Nick (and Betty the dog!) are the perfect hosts and always make us feel so welcome. From making sure we have everything we need in the gite to providing expert local knowledge, we really couldn't ask for more. The gite is so beautiful, comfortable and well equipped and the outside space and swimming pool is always a massive hit with our sons! The local area is also excellent and there's lots to do nearby including walks, kayaking, local sightseeing and eating delicious food. Thank you Jen and Nick - we can't wait to return soon!
Jane and Nick are charming hosts, attentive to make the stay very unforgettable. The cottage is pleasant and well decorated. The area is very pretty with superb sunsets. A visit to Tusson is essential. without forgetting Jane's excellent ones
An ideal place to share a spacious, very well equipped and nicely decorated gîte with your family. Very nice touches, a gourmet basket, a homemade breakfast, .... and a cuddly teddy bear in the bed for our little girl!!! Thank you, Jen and Nick for your warm welcome and your availability. See you
I had the most amazing long weekend at La Cour de Husson in April for a vegan patisserie course. There was nothing that Jen and Nick couldn't do to make our stay perfect, from cooking us the most delicious meals and snacks to leaving us welcome gifts and providing airport transport. I had the best, most memorable time and couldn't reccomend this place enough!
Nick and Jen hosted a vegan French pâtisserie weekend with @thefloatingbaker which was great fun. We learnt how to make a number of French pâtisseries and then went back to La Cour de Husson for a delicious vegan lunch prepared by Nick and Jen. Nick and Jen made everyone feel welcome. Their passion for #veganfrenchlife is clear. Their gîte looked like a fab place to stay and is in a great location.
Cannot recommend highly enough. Our gite was beautiful: well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfortable and stylish. The swimming pool was great: kids loved playing in it, we loved lounging by it. It was really peaceful - you're surrounded by vast sunflower fields - yet interesting towns and cities were easy drives away. Most of all though, we can't praise our hosts Nick and Jen enough. They were welcoming, helpful and generous, and provided us with some of the best breakfasts we've ever eaten. Truly worthy of a 5-star review.
very welcoming hosts, a pleasant and nicely renovated gîte and a vegan place which is quite rare in France and even more so in the countryside to underline it.
I can't say enough about my stay at the beautiful French villa; La Cour de Husson. Apart from being an absolutely stunning and peaceful place to stay, the hosts Jen & Nick were so kind and thoughtful throughout. The gite I stayed in was absolute perfection, every detail was thought through, such a comfortable sleep too! (Also extremely clean and I am a tad fussy with that!)Although Jen & Nick were around if needed it was such a private little haven, honestly I could have just stayed there the whole time and been extremely happy! I read on my private terrace for hours with a beautiful local wine that my lovely hosts suggested I try. However, there are some lovely places to see nearby and there is a book of things you can do too in the gite which I found really handy.The vegan breakfast was also divine!! It was so delicious, among other things I tried Jens vegan cinnamon buns. For all my fellow vegans out there, just come for those alone! Next time I also want to try the vegan picnic hamper that you can organise via the hosts too.Without a doubt I will definitely be coming back here again. I felt so comfortable and at home, and there is still so much I would like to do. I genuinely feel like I had a luxury break away from the madness of London.Thank you so much to Jen & Nick, I hope to see you again next year!!
This is one of our favourites place to stay. The gite is a lovely place, with eye for detail. You can feel and see the love of Nick and Jen (the owners). With a very warm, open and friendly welcome from this lovely couple, your holiday will come in your top 3 for sure.The surroundings are beautiful and lovely towns and villages to go to.Jen and Nick made our holiday unforgettable, for so many reasons. And we also love the vegan life.We hope to visit them again and enjoy everything they have to offer.And the swimming pool is the best we had in years.
La Cour de Husson is a true gem, a place that exudes calm and tranquility, in an absolutely idyllic setting. Imagine an old Charentaise building, perfectly preserved, renovated and furnished with all possible comfort; where you can relax around a magnificent swimming pool, which overlooks fields as far as the eye can see.Nick & Jane are high-quality hosts who go out of their way to offer you a very high standard of stay (special mention for vegans, who will appreciate the efforts of adapted breakfasts).The lodgings are extremely comfortable, perfectly equipped, and decorated with great taste, in a rustic and modern mix which totally preserves the authenticity of the atmosphere.The place is in a hamlet which adjoins a medieval village with many shops (including a very practical grocery store / tobacconist), and 10 minutes from a town which offers all amenities.The ideal place to visit a region that never ceases to surprise us, for its tranquility, its immediate nature, its historical heritage and even its proximity to the ocean!Thanks again !
C’est magnifique !Nestled between cognac vines and sunflower fields is a beautiful relaxing place. La Cour de Hudson. Our hosts welcomed us with a delicious vegan dinner and couldn’t have been more welcoming.The gite is surrounded by local markets and farm shops. A treasure trove for a foodie like me.The accommodation itself is sparkling; beautifully decorated and every night was like sleeping in cotton wool. We couldn’t have asked for more than an everyday refreshing swim in the clear blue pool before drinks in the courtyard.Nick and Jen were perfect hosts and knew best recommendations.I’ll definitely be returning !
Amazing hosts ! Amazing location! Attention to detail was spot onNic and Jen went above and beyond to make our stay perfect !Will definitely be returning
La Cour de Husson lived up to my every expectation: a wonderfully restored, historic farmhouse, with mellow golden stone, authentic architectural details, and the scent of roses in full bloom.The Gite is stylish, tasteful, and simple yet chic, with every convenience. I even had my own private little courtyard - perfect for coffee and croissant in the mornings after a sublime morning dip in the crescent shaped pool!The wonderfully comfortable beds with gorgeous crisp, white linen ensured a great nights sleep in this haven of peace and tranquility.Jen and Nick are lovely: perfect hosts, discrete yet on hand when needed. They have done an amazing job of bringing this wonderful old building back to life.Thank you for a really enjoyable stay!Top tip: try the delicious vegan breakfast served in the courtyard - I'm now a convert to vegan cuisine.
My boyfriend and I stayed at La Cour de Husson for 4 days and it was an absolutely lovely experience, from beginning to end. We flew into Paris from NYC and drove to La Cour de Husson from Paris, which was nice. We could have taken the train from Paris to Angouleme, about 2 hours and 45 minutes. From there, we would have rented a car and driven 35 min drive to Charme, where the gite is located. We tried this drive (from the train station in Angouleme to the gite) and it was really straightforward!What we all loved about staying here is that it felt like no detail was left unnoticed. The gite had everything we needed and was decorated so tastefully-it's the perfect combo of feeling "homey" and also like a hotel. There were fresh flowers and a great welcoming basket of snacks (chocolate, chips, Lotus cookies, cake), all excellent quality, when we arrived. Then we had beautiful breakfast spreads every morning -fresh baguettes, homemade cinnamon rolls, overnight oats, preserves, orange juice, chia yogurt cups, homemade granola-a different combo of the above, each day. They had coffee and tea and options for all: French press, espresso maker, and Italian coffee maker, and non dairy milk. All of it was tasty and we really looked forward to the breakfast every morning.The rooms are spacious with cute decor and we had plenty of space. We loved the big tub in one of the bathrooms (and plenty of hot water for baths!!!!), and the aromatherapy soap was a nice touch:)The setting doesn't get more beautiful. It overlooks the countryside, and there is a ton of outdoor space. There's an area to barbecue, including a full-sized grill and table. There's an area to hangout on the hammock and read a book. There's an area for lounging at the beautiful, clear blue pool. It's all so peaceful and picturesque. It's a dream switch up for us city people-all the amenities but in nature!Jen and Nick, the owners were the most hospitable and gracious, hosts. They left no stone unturned inside the gite and with the meals. They also were super helpful with info and recommendations on what to do in the area, where to eat, and just made us feel at home and comfortable. We went to a local cake and flower shop that they recommended as well as a Cognac tour, about 45 minutes away and enjoyed both. We loved staying here and plan to come back whenever we next visit France.
Such a wonderful place to escape, beautiful accommodation quietly set in open countryside; lovely walks to be enjoyed. Conveniently located for exploring the Charente region. Nearby town Ruffec is convenient for supermarket shopping. So many lovely places to explore nearby (owners Nick & Jen can offer recommendations) I particularly enjoyed the city Angoulême as well as the small local villages nearby which have plenty to offer. Verteuil-sur-Charente is an absolute must! I spent the week with my family, relaxing by the pool, exploring the local area and thoroughly enjoying the peace.
I spent two weeks at La Cour de Husson. A really enjoyable experience. The place was so relaxing that I forgot the all stress from the city. The room I stayed was stylish and good taste. I loved specially the cute bathroom with a big bathtub. The vegan breakfast was flavorful and satisfying. Jen and Nick who own the place were nice and kind. 5 stars!
La cour de Husson is absolutely beautiful, both the accommodation itself and the surrounding areas. Jen and Nick are all incredibly kind, cool and accommodating! Everything was immaculate and considered, the bed was comfortable and warm & the vegan breakfast was delicious. I stayed for two weeks, and each day for breakfast we had differing vegan options from fruit, Bircher, avocado on toast all served with fresh juice and lovely coffee. If you are looking for a serene and beautiful trip to France this place is perfect. It is well deserving of 5 stars. Thank you Jen and Nick for a beautiful stay x
