About this house rental
Our boutique style riverside house nestles on the banks of the river Charente between Cognac and Angouleme. Formerly the ferryman's cottage, it offers private parking, access to a wonderful walled garden and stone jetty leading directly to the river…making the ideal spot for fishing, swimming or launching a kayak or paddle board. There is ample garden furniture, bikes, a Kayak and a small electric boat at your disposal, perfect for exploring the Charente river and its riverside cycle path, La Flow Velo. The house offers wonderful river views from the dining room and pretty garden and country views from our 4 boutique style bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities. Its first floor lounge/diner is perfect for intimate dining, whilst the spacious, open plan ground floor kitchen, TV room and breakfast room is perfect for family gatherings and gives you direct access to the garden and riverfront views. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine and everything you need to make proper family meals. Our newly restored riverside jetty offers a large family dining table and outside kitchenette and is the perfect spot to sit and watch the boats pass.

I would highly recommend this property as a holiday destination. It is the perfect location to relax in a peaceful and tranquil environment at the rivers edge. Sit with a morning coffee by the river and watch Kingfishers, heron, grebe and cormorant busily fishing on the river. Perfect. There is an easy bicycle path that leads to Jarnac and beyond that is perfect to walk or cycle by the river and have a little activity.
Our hosts, Allie & Brian made our stay comfortable and stress free and are very easy to talk to. My wife enjoyed the extra beauty treatments provided by Allie, whilst the boys and I enjoyed fishing, Kayaking and cycling.
There is lots to see and do around this area including visits to Jarnac, Cognac and the surrounding villages. We enjoyed visiting the independent Pineau de Charente/Cognac distillers in the area, as well as a super visit to the Le Tuffre chocolate factory where we had an afternoon making (and eating) chocolate.
All in all we would highly recommend a stay here and would not hesitate to return or lets friends & family know about this little piece of heaven in the Charentaise countryside.

Le point fort de cette location est son jardin au pied du pont entièrement mis à notre (seule)disposition ainsi que le jacuzzi (aussi privatisé)les vélos prêtés ainsi que le canoë.On est "au pied des pistes" 😉et les balades sont vraiment très agréables,repas au bord de l'eau,on a du mal à s'en détacher ...Hôtes charmants.
Seul bémol non visible sur la photo, l'accès au gîte se fait sur le côté par une courette en contrebas de la route ...il y a donc un passage sur le côté de la maison pour accéder à ce grand jardin....pas pratique pour les repas ,un peu décevant à l'arrivée mais compensé par la déco et la propreté des lieux.Autre petit bémol,les Velux très haut dans les chambres et pas de fenêtres (mais jolies).
J'y retournerais avec plaisir même si je le trouve au final un peu cher comparé à d'autres locations ,pas de serviettes de bain fournies et surtout payable en livres sterling au cours changeant sur un compte en Irlande donc des frais de banque de 30€ ,affiché sur place à 850€ (son juste prix) on a dépassé les 1050 euros+ les 30€.

Le lieu est idéal pour decouvrir la Charente par les eaux. Nous l’avons fait en paddle et kayak directement depuis la Proprieté.
Le logement est très fonctionnel et convenait bien pour une famille de 4.
Alison et brian sont charmants et nous ont préparés un bon repas 2 soirs de suite.
Merci encore.
