About this house rental
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.

Nous avons été très bien accueilli par les propriétaires. Très discret durant notre séjour. Présent pour toutes questions ! Hygiène irréprochable, l'intérieur est très spacieux. Petite terrasse ombragée à partir de midi. Une vue très agréable sur les champs de tournesols où nous pouvions apercevoir les chevreuils matins et soirs à notre plus grand bonheur ! Location très calme, piscine nettoyée régulièrement par le propriétaire. Les commerces se trouvent à 15min en voitures.
Nous recommandons ce gîte !

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!
