Your hosts, Suzi and Jon, who speak English, French and Dutch, offer either Chambre d'hôtes (Bed with optional breakfast and evening meal) or Gites to rent (self-catered whole house rental) which is available in La Petite Cottage for maximum of 5 people.
Les Granges has 5 double bedrooms including two family rooms which have a double and a single bed. The family rooms are suitable for couples as well as families. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy, including a heated outdoor swimming pool, several garden areas, an orchard, and terraces for eating alfresco.

In La Petite Cottage there are 2 bedrooms and one bathroom, a cosy lounge with wood burning stove and television. The dining area and well equipped kitchen are ideal for family entertaining. There is a secluded courtyard with total privacy to enjoy breakfast or an evening aperitif. Guests at the cottage still have full use of all the facilities at Les Granges - Pool, Barns and Gardens!
Children are welcome at Les Granges or Petite Cottage. We can provide a baby cot and high chair so that all the family can eat together (and you can pack light!).

Animals are also welcome with a small additional charge but we request guests advise us in advance if they are bringing a pet.
Kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful part of the countryside in France. The Charente River is only a few minutes’ walk away, and the charming town of Ruffec is less than a 5 minutes’ drive with restaurants, shops, and local produce markets held every Wednesday and Saturday morning.

La maison est située à deux pas du fleuve Charente, super agréable pour la baignade, le kayak, le pédalo... (zone surveillée, aire de jeux pour enfants, restaurant). Merci pour ce super séjour !

Suzi et Jon sont très accueillants et très souriants. Le cadre est superbe et charmant. La maison est propre, spacieuse et fonctionnelle. Les chambres étaient à la hauteur de nos attentes. Les salles de bain sont propres. La piscine est aussi super quand on a des enfants. Bref : un très bon séjour reposant et qui nous a permis de profiter d'un très joli petit coin de campagne.
