Our two cottages are set in the courtyard of our 18th Century Charentaise farmhouse.

Barn and workshop

The soil here is wonderfully fertile and we produce our own seasonal fruit and vegetables including cherries, strawberries, figs, walnuts, sweet peppers, garlic, aubergines, and of course the famous Charentais melon.

We keep a rare breed of sheep and a variety of free-range hens and ducks. They are kept well away from the cottages although children are welcome to participate at feeding times.

We have set out to create a tranquil and authentic environment allowing you to appreciate the pleasures of Rural France at its best. Whilst each cottage offers private and independent accommodation, access between the two private gardens can be arranged for family groups ‘holidaying’ together who wish to take both cottages, in which case guests can benefit from preferential booking rates.
