Wow thank you for the responses on the house renting, I realise that you will probably all need a bit more information, for those of you that have personal messaged me hopefully this will answer all your questions, Ali Price, Dave Bradbery, Claire Colley, Tim Mumford, Neville Mistry, Lisa Downes. The first thing to tell you is that we do have the house on the market, when buying a house in France from the day someone accepts to buy your house then you have three months from the day they say yes, to the day you move, so if we have not sold the house by March then we will have at least another three months, so April would mean we would move in July, so on and so on......... baring this in mind we will be quite happy to rent it out if we have not sold by March !!!!! Ok we live in a wonderful village called Verteuil sur Charente in the Poitou Charente, which is SW France. The nearest airport is Poitiers which is 40 minutes away or Limoges which is a little further down, Ryanair fly to both. You can drive from Calais in about six and a half hours and you can also get a ferry to Northern France and drive down which is about a five hour drive.
The village is the best ever, we have a chateau, pharmacy, florist, butchers, hairdresser, bakers, two gift shops, restaurants and a wonderful wine bar called La Regis run by our gorgeous Sebastien. The house is two double bedrooms both ensuite and a small single day bed upstairs, we have the pool, two bikes and a two acre garden. I would suggest that you have a look on our page called The Nolan's, you will see all the pictures of the inside and outside of the property.
After Christmas we will put a little calendar on The Nolan's page and then if any of you are interested you can see what dates we have available.
We have already been told that 400 euros a week is too cheap, but we are not doing this to make money and we won't be letting anyone stay that we don't know, as this will still be our home and will stay that way (photos and personal stuff still left out) if you feel that you are using the phone, electric and stuff a bit too much then you can leave a few extra euros to cover, but as I say it is for friends only ###x
Hope this helps everyone who is interested but if you need to know more then let me know. X######
