Cottage in Angouleme
1 bedroom, 1 bathroom
Sleeps 2 - 4 People
£290 - £499 Per Week

Bienvenu to Le vieux Couvent located in the sleepy French village of Deviat surrounded by an idyllic landscape of vineyards, sunflowers and agriculture.
You have two options for accommodation, these being 'Chambres d'hotes' in the main house and a beautiful stone 'Gite', both of which stand in an enclosed private garden. There is a 10 x 5 metre openair pool heated by the glorious Charentaise sunshine. The Charente is reportedly the second sunniest department in France so we would expect the weather to be fairly favourable for visitors.
There are 2 large, comfortable en-suite rooms for Bed & Breakfast both with tea & coffee making facilities. A 4 course evening meal "en famille" is available on request which includes wine and coffee, this is served in the dining room or on the terrace during the summer months. The evening meal is available to all guests whether staying in the house or gite.
The gite offers self catering accommodation with all home comforts supplied, there is also a terrace with BBQ and outside dining area. The garden is big enough for guests to play a game of boules or badmington, or relax with a book in a quiet corner. The pool area is fenced as required under French law and is supplied with loungers and parasols. We try to grow as many of the vegetables we may need and the fruit trees supply the crop necessary for eating fresh or producing jams and chutney.
The main house and cottage were originally constructed in 1762 and then the house had further building work in 1853. A small body of nun's lived here for many years administering to the locals spriritual and medical needs, hence it is know as the 'old convent'.
Please note that NO SMOKING is allowed in any of the buildings.
