[post_content] => Le Cognassier and Le Cerisier were originally 18th Century stone barns and we have converted them into beautiful self catering holiday accommodation.
Decorated and furnished to an exceptionally high standard, the gites are brimming with charm and character. With families in mind, we have blended modern comforts with our quirky vintage finds to create stylish and relaxed interiors which are totally family friendly.
Set within a blissfully tranquil, walled garden the holiday cottages offer a haven of peace and an opportunity to escape to the countryside and experience the simple pleasures of French life. Within striking distance of large towns and the stunning beaches of the Atlantic coast, they also provide the perfect base for exploring the beautiful, unspoilt region of the Charente - Maritime.
Our aim is for you to completely relax here so we have equipped each gite with everything you need to feel totally at home during your family holiday.
The gardens are safe and child friendly with a large lawned area for children and toddlers to roam freely and to play on the swings, slide or build châteaux in the sandpit. The swimming pool is heated and fenced for safety. We welcome children of all ages from babies to teenagers and have provided everything you need for the perfect French family holiday including a bottle of chilled champagne for the adults.Combining modern comforts with vintage charm, Le Cerisier has everything you need to feel at home. Colour schemes in blue, linen, and French grey are easy on the eye and as always our vintage finds give this gite a very stylish look. There are large comfy sofas in the sitting room to flop into after a hard day at the pool.
The private garden is situated at the back of the cottage and is perfect for relaxing in total peace. The kitchen diner overlooks the main gardens which are walled and gated.
Upstairs, the twin room overlooks the pool and the other 2 look out onto open countryside.

[post_content] => A quirky, charming little house in a romantic setting overlooking the mediaeval town of Confolens in the Poitou-Charentes region of France, La Petite Tour (The Little Tower) is the perfect spot for a romantic weekend or short break for two. It's equally suitable for singles. A place to chill out, re-charge the batteries, find inspiration or just watch the world go by.
The building (or part of it) dates back to to the 11th Century, when it formed part of the Porte Saint Michel gates, leading from the area of St. Michel into the mediaeval town of Confolens. A gate hook remains on the wall to this day, and the bulding is classified as an ancient monument.
It's unclear exactly when the building was first used as a house, but when the present owners acquired it in 2010, it hadn't been occupied for about twenty years. Today, the interior of the house has been transformed into a sympathetically designed, cosy living space, combining modern living requirements with the charm of some original features.
Within about 45 minutes' drive of Limoges airport and 1 hour 10 minutes of Poitiers, with easy access to the A10 motorway network and with TGV (high speed) rail connections to Eurostar from Limoges, Poitiers or Angouleme railway stations, visiting the lovely old town of Confolens is easy.

An ideal property for one large family wanting space and privacy or for two small families wanting to holiday together. The villa is set on the edge of the small rural hamlet of puy de brette in the Charente Maritime region of western France. It is a short 15min drive to all conveniences in the town of St Jean d'Angely but due to the rural location, a car is essential to explore the region and all it has to offer.
Cognac with it's distillery tours and Saintes with its Roman ampitheatre are just a 30 min drive; La Rochelle with it's aquarium, shops and restaurants and Royans La Palmyre animal park are just an hour away. There are hundreds of miles of beaches all within
an hours drive. Closer to home there is the lovely market town of St Jean d'Angely with its twice weekly market, bars and good selection of restaurants.
As one of our family friendly properties, families with children and babies are welcome and we can provide any baby and toddler equipment required.
Hirondelle villa is set well back from the village lane, it is not overlooked at all and has stunning views in all directions of open countryside offering a peaceful retreat from the pressures of modern life. The villa is accessed by a private driveway shared only by our Hirondelle and Alouette villas. The Alouette villa is our families private second home and is not available for rental. On entering the Hirondelle villa, there is a twin bedroom with draws and built in wardrobe with hanging space and shelving. The window has views over the pool. At the end of the corridor is a master bedroom with double bed, built in wardrobe and
set of draws. Windows look out over the pool and open fields. Between these two bedrooms is a bathroom with full sized bath, shower facility over the bath, modern low flush toilet and basin, good water pressure and plenty of hot water.
Off the entrance hall is a doorway through to the spacious and well equipped kitchen. There is a fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, microwave, electric kettle and full sized stainless steel range cooker with 5 ring gas hob and electric convection oven, lots of cupboard space and work top and a breakfast table too. It is supplied with all crockery and cutlery for a group of eight including childrens plastic crockery and cutlery, hand blender and high chair (more high chairs can be supplied on request)

There are windows on 3 sides making it a lovely light area. Doors open out onto the private terrace area with wooden dining table with chairs for 8, large parasol and barbecue for outdoor entertainment. Views over open countryside. You may even be lucky enough to see a deer wandering past early in the early morning.
From the kitchen another doorway leads to the second sleeping area where there is a second master bedroom with built in wardrobe and chest of draws, a second bathroom, fully equipped again with full sized bath, shower facility over the bath, modern toilet and basin, lots of hot water (second hot water tank) and good pressure. A second twin room with wardrobe and draws completes the sleeping areas for a group of eight. Windows for these bedrooms also looks out onto open countryside and stunning views.
Outside the villa is a gravelled terrace area as mentioned before and the pool area. The pool is enclosed by fencing and is alarmed for extra safety. Please note that one of the twin bedrooms windows opens out onto the pool area. It is 9m by 5m and is 1m at the shallow end which then slopes down to a deeper 1m80, it is also heated to 28c by a heat exchanger. It is surrounded by a sunbathing terrace with sunbeds and is for the exclusive use of the guests in the Hirondelle villa.
Surrounding the villa is a large area of grass, where children can run around and play, please note however it is completely unfenced from the adjacent fields or private driveway, so young children should not be left unattended.
