This might be the smallest property here on the estate but it is perfectly equipped for all vacation eventualities with great consideration made for guest convenience and the use of space.
Located in a quiet corner with its own private terrace and garden - and aptly named after its old custodian (Ernest the gardener) from the early 1900s, it is a mere skip, hop and jump to the pool area and other communal facilities here at the Maison - such as the gym, yoga studio and courtyards.
The groundfloor is a light, bright and a social space - cook, eat and relax. An original stone fireplace still showing evidence of many a cosy evening over the centuries - now housing a sleek and contemporary wood-burner for those cooler spring and autumn evenings.
Upstairs, a spacious southerly facing bedroom and separate large shower room yet again perfumed by the maison choice of candles, soaps and lotion Brand bought over from the Cotswolds.
We think you'll love
Spending a lazy day or two at home in the sunshine by the pool, lighting the barbecue in the evenings
Sundowners on the terrace
Daily breakfast croissants a cycle ride from local boulangerie
The eclectic mix of furniture inside – much upcycled, with carpets made from recycled plastic bottles
Good to know
Owners live on-site and there are other holiday houses within the estate
The slightly steep stairs might prove tricky for some
You share the pool with guests in the other houses

What our guests say
A handful of reflections from those who have stayed with us.
What a beautiful place! The house and gardens are exquisite and the hosts perfectly attentive. It feels like you are in the lap of luxury, with a completey relaxed atmosphere. It’s a special area of France, still a bit of a secret, but so worth getting to know!
My 2nd visit to this amazing place. This time we stayed in the larger cottage, which was beautifully and thoughtfully equipped. The terrace was perfect for breakfasts in the Spring sunshine ☀️. Jason and Tim were as helpful as before and suggested lovely places to visit.
Maison des Ifs is such an amazing place, full of amazing details, vintage, nostalgia and modern comfort and design. The hosts are so warm and welcoming and their eye for detail is second to none. It was like knowing them already for years.
Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you so much!
We just spent 10 days here and wow what a place! Maison Des Ifs is a true hidden gem. Jason & Tim have created an amazing space comprising of a manoir (the main house) & gite (2 bedroom cottage) in beautiful grounds with elegant touches all around. The main house is truly magnificent with a kitchen to die for with enough cutlery, crockery, glasswear & cooking equipment for a large amount of people & a dream to cook in. The snug is the perfect retreat after a long walk or quiet evening in. With the temperatures a little lower we spent a lot of time exploring the local areas and visited Cognac, Angouleme & many of the smaller villages close by including our favourite Saint-Amant-de-Boixe (10 mins drive) which has the most incredible restaurant, patisserie, intermarche, tennis club (which guests can use) and even it's own stunning Abbey.
All I can say is wow! The house is beautiful, it has been renovated with amazing attention to detail and caters to every want. It had plenty of space for the whole family and the snug felt so homely. The pool and tranquility garden allowed for plenty of space to relax outside.
Hosts Tim and Jason could not be nicer and were always on hand to help and give recommendations.
I’m already looking to go again next year.
