Old Atelier Gite: 4-Star Old Stone Cottage with Private Garden and Free Wi-Fi

La Chèvrerie, Charente, France

Welcome to the “Old Atelier Gîte - a beautifully converted old stone cottage with its own secure garden - free WiFi - an idyllic rural hideaway for two. This is a quiet rural location where you can really lose yourself, far away from the usual hurly-burly but just 6km from the N10 motorway and the bustling town of Ruffec, which lies on the beautiful Charente River.brbrIt is now twelve years since we bought our beautiful Charentais barn, and five years since we converted one of the outhouses into a Gîte. We have had such a positive experience in letting this out, that we decided we should also convert a lovely old stone workshop into another gîte. The Old Atelier has its own entrance further along the drive with gates opening onto a large gravelled parking area, with plenty of room for both Boules and Barbecuing, then down a couple of stone steps into the secluded garden area which is equipped with comfortable reclining chairs, assorted tables, chairs, and the very important parasol.brbrThe conversion was completed a couple of years ago now, and it was very important to us that it was carried out sympathetically, and to a very high standard. We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious '4-Star' accolade by Charentes Tourisme under the 'Meublés de Tourisme scheme.brbrWe are particularly keen to provide everything we think is important for a happy holiday: a local oak dining table, a dishwasher, Broadband Wi-fi, Denby bone china, sharp knives, two types of corkscrew, a huge flat-screen TV with 5.1 cinema surround-sound, UK TV & lots of good DVDs, plus a large, firm and especially comfortable bed, and a large walk-in shower...brbrOutside, in the secluded gated garden, there are three discrete relaxing areas, the main north-facing dining area for summer dining away from the direct heat, a smaller east-facing dining area for breakfasts, coffee etc., and a south-facing relaxation area with reclining chairs and a small table with a large parasol for that all-important soaking up of the wonderful Charentais sun. Remember in the lovely summer micro-climate of the Charente, clouds are rarely seen and it stays warm until 2am - perfect for an extremely leisurely al-fresco apéritif and barbecue, as you unwind at the end of a long day!

The Hobogîte: 4-Star Stone Cottage, EXCLUSIVE use Heated Pool & Acre of Gardens

La Chèvrerie, Charente, France

Welcome to the Old Stone “Hobogîte” - A Quiet Rural Getaway for two - Free WiFi - EXCLUSIVE use of brand new 30 sq.m. Pool and an acre of Gardens...brbrWhile our lovely Charentais barn was being renovated, we often camped out in an old stone outhouse - our daughter affectionately christened this the Hobo house, and the name has stuck. It was so nice in this friendly little cottage that we decided to convert it, and rent it out as a gîte - but only when there's no-one in the barn. This is how you will have the whole acre of gardens - and the pool (from May to September) - entirely to yourselves. We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious 4-Star accolade by Charentes Tourisme under the 'Meublés de Tourisme scheme.brbrThis is a true get-away-from-it-all escape; if you see 3 cars a day passing on the small road at the end of the drive, you should feel honoured! You are however just 5km away from the N10 motorway, and 6km from the local town of Ruffec and the Charente River - for swimming, canoeing, fine dining, or simply sitting and enjoying it all.brbrAs you will see from the pictures, we have carried out the conversion sympathetically, to a very high standard, providing everything we think is important; a local oak dining table, a dishwasher, Denby bone china, sharp knives, two types of corkscrew, a huge flat-screen TV with 5.1 cinema surround-sound & lots of good DVDs, a large firm and especially comfortable bed, a multi-jet “shower pod” like something out of Star Trek... and outside, a vast north-facing shady hangar with a large ceiling fan for those hot summer lunches, a choice of two barbecues and of course outdoor ping-pong, all sheltered from both sun and rain.brbrFree Wi-Fi is provided throughout. Even down by the pool, so you can do a little casual surfing as you relax under a parasol on the comfortable pillows of the hardwood sun-loungers. Or in a deckchair under the small plantation of mature pine trees which provide a pretty spot to relax with a book in pine-scented shade. Not forgetting a cooling shower in the huge walk-around shower in the wet-room of the Pool House, converted from what is probably the finest stone-built chicken coop west of the Charente!brbrAfter your lunch in the cool of the shaded hangar, another swim, and a 6km cycle-ride or drive into Ruffec, to the twice-weekly market or the spanking new branch of E.Leclerc, for vital supplies, you'll be ready for an extremely leisurely al-fresco apéritif and barbecue. Remember, here in the wonderful summer micro-climate of the Charente, it stays warm until 2am...brbrAnd so to bed ... in that very comfortable bed ... in the old stone “hobogîte” ...
