Characterful and Spacious 2 Bedroom Gite, Sleeps 4 with Dedicated Pool

Our newly refurbished gite has been named "La Coquille" to denote the scallop shell above the front door, said to announce the fact that is was a resting place for pilgrims en route to Santiago de Compostella.

La Coquille gite is situated in a peaceful location at the end of a small lane on the edge of the forest and if you are lucky you will be able to watch deer from the terrace early morning or at dusk.

Its location makes it safe for kids but as it is not part of a complex, it makes an excellent retreat for couples.

The popular village of Aubeterre Sur Dronne (voted as one of the prettiest villages in France) is just 3.5 miles away and it boasts its own river beach and golf club. There are lots of delicious restaurants in the centre to choose from, along with the charming small shops and a local market on a Sunday morning.

La Coquille is also ideally situated for you to explore the Charente, the Dordogne, the Atlantic coast and the vineyards of St Emillion and Bordeaux.

La coquille offers you a safe peaceful spot to recharge your batteries and explore the local area.

It is a restored cottage, thought to date back to the 1700's and still retains many original features.

There is a large sitting room with large limestone fireplace and original sink. It has comfy sofas and English satellite TV.

This leads to the fully fitted kitchen, which includes oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. There is also dining space.

The door leads to the shady terrace, with space for al fresco dining.

From the sitting room, you pass through the formal dining room up the stairs and on the first floor there is a twin room, a family bathroom and an en-suite double bedroom.

Lovely house, stunning location!
After a lovely stay at La Coquille for 10 nights, we didn't want to leave! Picturesque views and a peaceful location surrounded by sunflowers and an abundance of villages and towns to explore, there is always something to do! The pool was a saving grace in the very hot weather we experienced whilst staying in France. The house is very spacious, there's a lot more room than you think! The hosts, Peter and Lesley, were fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble and we felt very welcome, with local supermarket recommendations and tourist attractions provided for our arrival. This was just what we needed after travelling 490 miles from Calais, driving in France for the first time! Overall, this was the perfect holiday for us, there is nothing we would change about it!

Tranquil retreat in the beautiful Charente countryside
Superbly set out gite with lots of living space. Huge grounds with lots of shady areas- perfect to play outside but stay cool for our toddler. Large bedrooms and bathrooms, and all the basic kitchen equipment supplied. The stunning village of Aubeterre is a must and perfect for lunches. Lovely river beaches! Peter and Lesley are warm and welcoming without intruding on our space. Definitely recommend

Mi familia y yo hemos estado una semana en La Coquille. Ha sido nuestra primera visita a la zona y ha sido fantĆ”stica. La casa es muy bonita y cĆ³moda. Hemos tenido la suerte de poder disfrutar de la piscina todos los dĆ­as, y de poder ver unos fantĆ”sticos atardeceres estirados en las hamacas. Incluso vimos un pequeƱo cervatillo! TambiĆ©n hemos podido visitar muchos pueblos preciosos. Estamos muy contentos de poder haber disfrutado de esta semana de relax. Recomendamos La Coquille.
