Vacation Rental Description

If you are looking for a cottage or rural gite in this beautiful part of Poitou-Charentes, then look no further. La Lodge is a traditional 18th C farmhouse with beautiful views across the valley. It offers an exclusive and private swimming pool and many extra facilities including games, snooker table, cycles and AV facilities for in-house entertainment on the rare days that the sun might not shine.

A bathroom and two bedrooms on the the ground floor of the house make the property highly suitable for those with limited mobility, whilst a further shower room/WC and three bedrooms upstairs offer flexibility for a second family to enjoy privacy. For small groups visiting out of school holidays, it may be possible to close off part of the sleeping accommodation for a lower rate.

The front garden is discreetly screened by hedges and walls to give you a high level of privacy and safety for children. The filtered swimming pool with paved surround and regulation safety railings is ideal for evening barbecues and lounging. If you want to enjoy a quieter area away from the pool, then the rear patio area is ideal for reading or dining alfresco.

The property affords easy access to a superb riverside leisure area with boating hire. It is also within easy access of superb wildlife sites at Vallee des Singes
