About this property

Large Stone house sleeps 8 countryside location large Swimming Pool

This beautiful farmhouse is set in 4 acres of countryside, the outside grassed area is perfect for group games, football, rounders/baseball cricket golf practice etc,there is lots of outside space, with hammocks to chill out, lots of sun-loungers for everyone,and we overlook countryside on all sides. The house retains a lot of it's original features,beams & stonework but has all the mod cons, large fitted kitchen, American style fridge with ice-maker and filtered cool water,dishwasher etc large dining room,with large extending table and 8 chairs, and a large lounge area, with corner suite, tv ,dvd player, stereo etc, lots of inside and outside games are provided, and a large library of books. There is a patio at the back which overlooks the pool and orchard, and large lawned area. The house has 2 separate staircases on each side of the house, each with 2 double bedrooms, and its own bathroom, this makes it perfect for family or friends, as you have your own side of the house for privcy, with your own shower toilet..We also have a large 2 acre field, perfect for football, cricket, people even practise their golf here !There is ample parking, and we have a stone built BBQ for eating alfresco. The local town of sauze vaussais is only a 5 minute drive/half hour walk, with restaurants, pubs, supermarket, garage, banks, hairdressers etc. The area teams with wildlife, and there are plenty of walks and cycle routes. The large towns of Poiters,with its large Theme park Futurescope, Niort and Angouleme are within an hours drive, These have lots of shops restaurants Chateaux etc, Cognac is great for Boat rides and Cognac tasting,these are very historical with beautiful architecture. There are lots of things to do and see in the area, if you can tear yourself away from the pool! 8 miles away is the town of Ruffec, where the river Charente runs through, there is great Kayaking here,
The pool is secure with childproof lock, there is plenty of space for rounder football badmington etc

Get away from it all, enjoy quality time in lovely countryside
Chatelet is beautifully situated in lovely countryside--surrounded by fields of sunflowers in full bloom, and hay being harvested. Waking up to birds singing, quiet sunshine streaming in the window, was truly refreshing. The house has been lovingly renovated, with attention paid to modern conveniences, and is very comfortable. The pool is super--large and sparkling clean. Our favorite thing about the house was the abundance of fun family activities that were available: croquet and other lawn games, tetherball, hammocks, swimming, board games, DVDs, relaxing on the many lounge chairs, and admiring the guinea pigs. Melanie was helpful before our arrival in suggesting possible activities, and was extremely prompt in replies to questions we had. She was welcoming and informative during check-in, but though she lives nearby we never felt that we were being watched as we enjoyed the property. It was a refreshing, marvelously relaxing week for our group (5 adults and 3 children). The only two slight imperfections that marred our time there were these: We had not noticed upon booking that the property description lists no clothes dryer. There is a clothes drying rack provided, but it is sometimes awkward in mixed groups to have clothing hanging out to dry in plain view. This wasn't a huge problem, just an unexpected one (due solely to our lack of noticing this in the property description). A more significant drawback was the lack of fast internet. When it was available, it was slow. This was frustrating, because we wanted to plan daily excursions and book tickets for later in our vacation, but because of the slow internet it was almost impossible to map locations or find out information about potential destinations. Again, if other guests come into their trips to Chatelet with this knowledge, they will be able to plan and work around this drawback. We have great memories of our trip here, and will without hesitation recommend it to friends of ours who might want a tranquil stay in the French countryside, within driving distance of many interesting sites to visit. We'd love to come back someday!

Family holiday
We've been home for 3 days and are already planning our next visit. Home from Home, the villa was beautiful. Lovely touches such as DVDs, CDs, garden games which added to our experience when the weather got too hot. We made full use of the BBQ, had the pool to our selves, which we made full use of. Melanie and Richard were brilliant hosts and gave us good tips for the area. Highly enjoyable holiday experience

What fantastic property and such lovely owners
We had a fantastic time here for the week in August 2018. The children loved every minute of the holiday. The swimming pool is a fantastic size and provided wonderful entertainment. The grounds are massive and the hammocks are very relaxing indeed. The farmhouse itself is gorgeous and the two sets of stairs allowed my older daughters their own part of the house which they really enjoyed. An extensive stock of DVDs provided some lovely family films in the evening and we even squeezed in a bit of free view watching too. I can not recommend this place highly enough it’s such a lovely place. What made it even better were Melanie and Richard who were on hand to offer advice and some excellent suggestions of places to visit as we were new to the area. A truly lovely holiday 😊 thank you Carolyn, Holly, Becky Thomas and Lily

A wonderful, well equiped property, with a fabulous garden.
The house was everything we could have wished for, and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The garden was spectacular with plenty of room for cricket, and the pool was great.

Perfection!!
he most beautiful gite we have stayed in! Run by the nicest people you could ever wish to meet! This was our first family holiday abroad with our children and we didn't want for anything! When we arrived late at night the inside of the gite was just 'wow', clean, spacious and has all the mod cons while still being a cute farmhouse. In the morning we woke up to discover huge gardens, crystal clear pool, trampoline, swings, hammocks, table tennis, free range guinea pigs and much much more! The owners were so welcoming and helpful and make the most delicious food...if you book in to eat with them you will not want to eat anywhere else again! This place is simply perfect, for families, couples or with friends! We will definitely be returning! Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday!!!!

About the host

We have fully renovated this property and hopefully,
this shows in the workmanship..It has been a labour of love, with lots of sweat, laughter and tears !!We live here in sunny west France all year and there is no going back. The house and surrounding countryside teams with wildlife, and every day is a complete pleasure, a stark contrast to the North east of Engalnd where we both grew up.

Why they chose this property

The friendly people, and the sheer fact it is still rural France at its best
Visited the area a lot over the years and fell in love with the laid back lifestyle,beautiful scenery,Sunflowers, quiet roads! ,respect the young have for everyone and their polite bonjours in the morning, are a great way to start the day, fresh bread,croissants,fields of red poppies,cheap wine,cheese, being able to eat al-fresco all year round ,,,need i go on

What makes this property unique

Healthier lifestyle, leaving the stress of self-employment and staff and paperwork and health and safety regs behind, not being in a traffic jams each morning, being able to see the doctor the same day, and you choosing the time to see a specialist,
being able to ski , as only 3 hours away, likewise nip to Spain 5 hours away, oh and we loved the house, as the French like to say we have brought it back to life..
