Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

We had 6 adults and 2 children, it is a wonderful property which i would happily recommend, the owner is very prompt replying to messages, completely contact free check-in and we had trouble getting the children and adults out of the pool😊😎
A few points (which wouldn't stop us booking again) the plastic tub chairs on the side terrace, there are only 4 it was a lovely spot to sit in the evening but 6 adults- same with the sun lounges by the pool only 4. The chairs around the magnificent large outdoor table were not very substantial- our 4yr old sat on one and it started coming apart! The information folder could be updated the zoo is 12E each not 9E
Saying that loved it and would love to go back ❤😎 great place for exploring 😊

The property was amazing, there was an odour from the second bathroom which wasn’t pleasant but overall we were happy with the property.

We have had a lovely week at this house. The pool and garden were great for children and we spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying this space. The local host Lucy was super helpful and quick to address any queries/ minor issues we had. Lovely picturesque area to cycle around. Play and picnic area and tennis court a short walk/ bike ride from the house which was enjoyed by children.
A great place to relax and unwind thank you 😊

We stay in france every year and this is one of the nicest houses we have stayed in so far .
The pictures of this house do not do it justice .. its very beautiful and the putside space is perfect .
We had a couple of issues and communication was quick and issues resolved.
I felt the cleaning wasnt up to scratch ...dust and cobwebs mainly . I informed the owner who was greatful to be told as they dont live in france.
Id also advise on maybe upgrading things like handwash and air freshner ...those little things make all the difference.
We will definitely book this house again as its so very beautiful and owners so easy to talk to . You will struggle to find a better house

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. All the rooms are of a good size and the kitchen is very well quipped. We were very lucky with the weather in mid September and used the pool every day. Tara was very quick to respond to our queries

Wonderful Family Holiday
We had a great stay 2 week stay at the Rocking Horse.
The house is superb and lived fully up to it's billing. The bedrooms are good and spacious, bathrooms spacious and good showers, some great living space and well equipped kitchen.
Outside the pool was adequate for our needs and we ate ar the patio dining area all evenings bar one - when it got just a bit too chilly.
Location is beautiful looking out on to a vineyard and surrounding area has some great attractions to explore and activities to get stuck into!

Excellent séjour au coeur du vignoble de Cognac
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette belle maison charentaise. Tout était parfait : confort de la maison, vastes chambres et salles de bains. Beaux salons, piscine bien située. Le tout dans un bel environnement. Les propriétaires et Lucy, notre contact local, ont tout fait pour rendre notre séjour agréable.

Fantastic property in beautiful surroundings
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Juillac-le-Coq. The house was loving and the area was stunning. Very good communication with the owners with helpful information and suggestions for things to do. Would happily return for another stay.

A tranquil rural holiday home
We had a lovely time, the facilities were good and generally as described. The house was truly comfortable, plenty of living space, bedrooms large and airy and shower rooms superb. We enjoyed the pool but it could probably benefit from some updating and maintenance.

VERY DISAPPOINTING.
This is a difficult review to write. The main issues were cleanliness, wiring issues and a pool we were not comfortable using. We arrived after an 8 hour drive to major issues with cleanliness. None of the bathrooms/toilets appeared to have been cleaned… faeces and urine splattered in all three toilet bowls, toothpaste sprayed all over the mirrors, sticky floors…this was just not acceptable, especially in times of Covid. The kitchen left a lot to be desired too, with a stained tablecloth, dirty sink, greasy utensils etc. We then turned on the garden lights so we could spend our first night sitting out but, when we turned them on, it blew all the house lights! Unfortunately the next day, now in daylight, we were horrified to see the pool had slimy green algae around all edges and very murky water…difficult to even see to the bottom where there were also areas of dirt. Some of the concrete tiling was also loose around the pool which we felt was dangerous. We were told by the owner it was safe but we had read that cloudy pools could potentially be full of bacteria that could cause infections, stomach problems, eye irritation etc. Couldn’t risk our health. On top of all that, the bbq was very rusty, dirty and again unusable, there were smashed terracotta pots in a walkway from the house to the garden, broken garden tiles attempting to be covered up with furniture and the separate pool house that had been described as ‘romantic’ was just unpleasant. Stained mattress, dirty walls, and had all the garden stuff thrown in there. Very disappointing as we had wanted one couple in our party to have stayed in there, but that was not to be. After everything, especially with a pool that we just didn’t feel safe to swim in, we felt we had to leave the property. We were very upset and disappointed, as we had been looking forward to our week in France for such a long time.
