Accomodation

Welcome to our traditional French cottage in the picturesque region of Poitou Charente which provides comfortable living space for up to six persons. 

The cottage comprises of :

Living and Dining Areas 

The living room has a television, radio, blue tooth speaker. The television has a large selection of languages available, French/Dutch/German/English to name a few provided by fibre and satellite, with a wood burning stove for the cooler months.

The kitchen diner is fully equipped with fridge/freezer, cooker, dishwasher microwave, toaster and coffee machine. This room historically was the bakery for the hamlet and still retains the original preserved bakers oven.

There is also an external utility room which is equipped with a washing machine, second fridge freezer and storage.

Bedrooms:

Two bedrooms are located downstairs with the third bedroom upstairs, set up as a twin room.

Bedroom 1: Is a beautiful and generous sized double bedroom with a light and airy ensuite wet room. This room is on the same level as the living room and has an adjoining door to bedroom 2, should it be required.  

We have created a room which is comfortable for all our guests, retaining the character of the cottage, yet practical for those who will appreciate the raised plug points and lowered light switches for ease of use.

This room has the option of twin adjustable electric beds if required.   

Bedroom 2: Is a large spacious double bedroom with independent access to the garden and living area. 

This was the original kitchen of the cottage and retains the preserved Charentes stone fireplace and carved stone sink.
