La Petite Pommeraie is light, airy and spacious and has just undergone further renovation to bring it up to a higher standard. It has a bedroom with pretty provincial furniture incl. a 5' double bed, a good sized living room with a cozy wood burning stove for your winter visits, 3' divan/daybed and a double sofa-bed. There is a separate fitted kitchen with washing machine and a bathroom with spa shower. Outside you have a large terrace with garden furniture and barbecue, screened from the rest of the land by a beautiful weeping willow which also offers privacy and ample shade when necessary although it does not shade the terrace. The rest of the large garden is at your disposal.
The property occupies a delightful rural location offering peace, quiet and space, but at the same time being only 10 mins. from all amenities and 40 mins. from several wonderful pine-fringed sandy beaches. Although no pool, there is the river Charente 200m down a grassy track with a small pebble beach for easy access for swimming, canoeing (we have one here you can use) or fishing (we have rods). The cottage is bright sunny and airy with high ceilings and exposed beams. There are mature trees and space offering shade and privacy where wanted. There is a very large garden and adjoining field which is wonderful for children, large or small, to amuse themselves, play, pitch tents etc. or for you to choose a shady (or sunny) nook to sit and contemplate. English-French speaker on site all year round.

Jellies or surfing/boarding shoes recommended for getting in and out. We are trying out the Thursday changeover for the Ryanair guests but if this is a real problem for you, please contact me to discuss. I would not want to be inconveniencing the majority of my potential guests.
