Our lovely Charentais farmhouse, cottage & barn nestles among a gentle landscape of sunflower fields and farmland. The stone-built cottage is over 200 years old and full of character with original fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, oak beams and cottage charm but enjoying all modern comforts. It is set in 4 acres in a very secluded spot right on the edge of the village. With a large terrace and BBQ at the rear and a 6 metre long table and 10mx5m private pool it is perfect for large groups.

We love going to France and bought this house some years ago as a place we can really enjoy and spend most of the summer there ourselves. We prefer to let our guests enjoy the privacy of the farmhouse and so we make a point of not bothering you on your holiday. Our pool attendant visits once a weekly and our house manager is a few minutes drive away.

Our house is ideal for families or large groups seeking to relax or to use as a base to explore the beautiful Charente Maritime. Nearby there are local markets and shops. You will find some wonderful restaurants, some selling locally caught seafood such as the famous Marenne oysters. There are lovely sandy beaches and a trip to the famous Ile de Re is a must. Wine tasting & vineyard tours & the famous Cognac tours are a very popular visit., Historic towns such as La Rochelle & Saintes are steeped in history and also offer great dining and shopping. Enjoy a wide range of leisure activities including golf, fishing, walking, windsurfing, kayaking and horse riding. Cycling is a popular French sport and there are many miles of cycle-friendly tracks to be found and national cycling events held nearby.
