Super vacances en charente

La maison est celle que nous recherchions, une maison typique en pierre avec ses poutres en bois à l’intérieur et les lézards à l’extérieur. Nous avons eu beaucoup de chaleur donc la piscine mise à disposition nous a bien servis. La propriétaire, bien que mon anglais ne soit pas bon du tout, a été très accueillante, avec des petits cadeaux à notre arrivée, et très souple au niveau des horaires. Merci encore à elle pour sa gentillesse Nous avons fait beaucoup de visites, beaucoup de villages sont très sympas à voir, de très belles promenades sans besoin de prendre la voiture, des bases nautiques pour le canoë à 15km, etc.. Je recommande donc cette jolie maison à tout le monde

Super séjour en famille

Les propriétaires nous ont accueilli avec gentillesse. Discrets mais attentifs, ils étaient à disposition durant tout notre séjour. Le logement est parfaitement équipé (le four est parfait pour réchauffer le préfou) : le linge de maison est fourni et les lits sont déjà faits ! Qu'il fasse beau ou qu'il pleuve, les très nombreux jeux d'intérieur et d'extérieur fournis (piscine, vélo, ping pong, pétanque, dominos géants, badminton et jeux de société), nous ont permis de bien nous amuser ! Nous recommandons cette location pour des vacances en famille et même des weekend puisque tout est clef en main!

Gite agréable

Accueil sympathique, tout en anglais, lieu charmant et calme. On n'entend que les brebis du champ voisin. Gite bien équipé. Irene, la propriétaire nous dit que la "cuisine anglaise" est très fonctionnelle. Et c'est tout à fait vrai; mais on se demande encore ce qu'elle a d'"anglaise"... Pas de wifi durant notre présence; la ligne Orange aurait été coupée... nous n'avons jamais eu de mot de passe valide pour la box, donc aucun moyen de le constater par nous même. Déconnexion totale donc (car pas de 4G non plus), ce qui était très bien pour des vacances ! Pour être au calme, ce gite est super !!

Wundervolle Tage

Ein ruhiger, friedvoller Platz um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Das bestens ausgestattete Domizil ist gemütlich und stilvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche geräumig und bestens mit allem, was man braucht bestückt. Wir haben super geschlafen, denn die Matratze war ein Traum. Top sauber. Irene, die Vermieterin ist äußerst freundlich und stets hilfsbereit. Es waren schöne Ferien und die Gegend lädt ein schöne Ausflüge zu unternehmen. Gerne wieder und vielen Dank!

About the host

Hosted by Irene Beeby

We have our own house on site and welcome you to our GITE. We celebrate 20 years for having our wonderful peaceful idyll in rural France in 2017

Why they chose this property

We have loved the Charente for years with its climate, quiet countryside and beautiful woods and rolling landscape. We chose to live on a hill but near to the river so that we have extensive views of the valley. We love the local river which are within easy walking distance.

We wanted tranquillity but easy access to local amenities and towns such as Ruffec, Angouleme, Confolens and Poitiers as these larger towns have wonderful architecture, fantastic restaurants, café culture and additional leisure and shopping facilities. Our grandchildren enjoy the visits to Futuroscope,the lakes and children's parks which are all accessible by car.

Charente enjoys a 'micro' climate and is reported to be the second sunniest place in France, next to the Cote d'Azur. From April through to September are considered the best months, however sometimes the warm weather lingers through to November.

We have recently renovated and restored the GITE so that it is comfortable modern and cosy with space for a family of four to relax in comfort.

What makes this property unique

We are in a rural location with access to local amenities including supermarkets, bars, restaurants, within the property you will find a peaceful relaxing location to really unwind.

We have an extensive garden within our property with playing field, rose gardens and ornamental grass gardens which provide an extra interest in our gardens as they attract unusual local wildlife.

We have a selection of cycles which can be used by agreement.

From May through to September, we can provide an above the ground swimming pool which is located in the owners gardens.
