A Special treat for Valentine's Day! For bookings between 12th and 21st February we we are including a bottle of champagne and chocolates for you to share with your loved one! With flexibility on arrival day and a minimum of a 3 night stay, this tastefully decorated cottage, available all-year round, is fully equipped and suitable for couples, solo guests, business travellers, and families (regret not suitable for children under 6 years of age). The house has fast broadband, free wi-fi included, and French and British TV and free Netflix on a new Smart TV. If you are here for work, we now have a work station and chair, complete with USB and ethernet connections to flat screen. There are two pretty bedrooms, one double and one twin, a bathroom and two WCs. The private garden with seating area is loved by our guests as is the eating area, BBQ and 'quiet corner'. Sun-loungers and deck-chairs complete the exterior layout. Note; price is all-inclusive, no extra cleaning or electricity charge. Linen and towels included and heating in the winter. A new eco-friendly heat pump has been installed for winter months, which is reversible in the summer to offer air-conditioning. There is also a cosy traditional log burner and we supply the first night's logs free of charge. A welcome pack is proving popular with our guests. This is a spacious cottage within walking distance of the historic town centre and a few metres from the River Charente. The new leisure centre with two swimming pools (heated, one indoor, one outdoor) and gym is just a 5 minute stroll away. The house is fully equipped for all-year-round stays, complete with garden furniture and BBQ you can just relax away from the stresses of every day life. A five minute walk brings you to the heart of Civray with its bars, restaurants, boulangeries, private cinema, shops, new leisure centre with two swimming pools. Alternatively, you can stroll along the River Charente that flows through the town. If you fancy travelling out of town, you are on the edge of beautiful rural France with its fields of sunflowers, woodland and meadows. Local attractions include 'La Vallée des Singes" (Monkey Valley) where you can walk among the apes, set in a beautiful park. Futuroscope at nearby Poitiers is the largest attraction in France after Disneyland Paris and hosts a science and media-interactive park, events and concerts. A visit to nearby L'Isle Jourdain allows the adventurer in you to bungee jump off the famous viaduct, but if you don't fancy that a stroll along the river and lunch in the charming town is equally as enjoyable. Other pretty towns abound including Ruffec, Niort, and Angouleme where each year there is an historic car race and rally that runs around the ancient ramparts of the town. A must for vintage car enthusiasts! Cognac with its tours of tasting houses is just an hour away and La Rochelle on the coast just 1 1/2 hours. This really is an excellent base for exploring any part of France. Even Paris is only 1 1/4 hours away by fast TGV train boarding this direct service at nearby Poitiers,or pick up a locol train at nearby St. Saviol The service also takes one directly into the terminals at Charles de Gaulle airport. If watersports are your thing, there is canoeing available at nearby Le Rejaillant with canoeruffec.fr, in the summer months. Or why not have a peaceful morning's fishing in the river or nearby Lakes? Licences are readily available locally. There are several excellent local restaurants, just let us know if you would like us to book on your behalf. The town street lights go out at 10 pm, so this is perfect for star-gazing while you relax in the garden. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet -

Es gab eine Klimaanlage im Wohnzimmer und die Küche war sehr gemütlich und mit Allem ausgestattet. Es gab einen großen Garten mit Möbeln für alle Gelegenheiten. Einen Parkplatz gibt es direkt vor dem Haus!Ein modernes Schwimmbad ist 5 Min. zu Fuß erreichbar, so auch 2 Bäcker. Das Stäbchen ist entzückend und eine gute Basis um von Portiers bis La Rochelle alles zu erreichen. Danke Frances und Mike nochmals für den tollen Aufenthalt. ##### Guido M.

Mike called us when we were en route to explain how to find the keys etc, and he popped by later to say hi. The gite has everything we needed. The water pressure in the shower is good & strong, the appliances are up-to-date and complement the traditional feel of the house. The Welcome Pack of wine, bread & butter was enough on it’s own, but they added some pâté, milk, orange juice and cheeses - and a chocolate on our pillows as a nice surprise! Nice & quiet, and a short walk to the town centre. Be careful if you have anything larger than a mid-size vehicle as the driveway is a tight fit, so parking at the foot of the hill might be the better option. We’re more than happy to recommend La Maison Muguet. And don’t miss a walk to Le Lich’ Bar in the evenings. It’s great fun & very friendly! ##### Stewart G.

Very well equipped. Just spent a lovely week in Civray exploring the area. The house was an ideal base to do this and very comfortable and well equipped, including a welcome pack. There was even central heating, which unfortunately we needed as it was cold and wet for early June. The house was cosy though, with a lovely garden. It was also nice not to be limited to Saturday changeover so we could take advantage of cheaper flights. Would recommend. ##### Maureen C.

Perfect location. Everything we needed. ##### Emma M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Rosemary P. 27 Aug 2018 #### Great little village property With a bi-weekly market, village shops and lovely public pool within five minutes walk, this little property is just great if you want to feel part of the community. Downstairs is fully modernized with an ample lounge/diner and lovely kitchen. Upstairs there are two tiny bedrooms, with comfy beds and crisp white cotton bedding, and a huge bath with modern shower. The whole property is immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, with so many little touches to help things along - herb rack, apron, full supply of loo rolls...... and the English owners are really helpful. Less mobile should be aware of the steep lane, tricky parking and steep stairs. ##### Rosemary P. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monique N. 18 Aug 2018 #### Prachtig en goed verzorgd vakantiehuis! Het ontbreekt werkelijk aan niets. Heerlijke bedden! Wij gaan al jaren op vakantie via homeaway maar dit jaar was t echt geweldig! De ontvangst door Frances en Mike is ongelofelijk! Je voelt je direct thuis en zeer welkom. Huis ligt ergens verstopt in n smal straatje maar als je binnenkomt is t echt n verrassing. Alle foto's die je ziet op deze site kloppen volledig. Heel sfeervol ingericht met zorg voor kleine details. Tuin is heerlijk rustig en is helemaal privé. Als je aankomt hoef je eigenlijk bijna geen boodschappen te doen, zoveel staat er al voor je klaar. Wijn, champagne, kaas, brood het kan niet op!! Echt heel bijzonder. Dus mocht je nog twijfelen: gewoon gaan!! Bedankt Frances en Mike!! ##### Monique N. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn E. 4 May 2018 #### What a cute little cottage, and so well equipped, it had everything we needed and more. The Cottage felt really homely, and it was an easy walk to shops, restaurants e.t.c. The hosts had thought of lots of lovely touches to get our holiday off to a good start. The provisions left for our arrival were very much appreciated. A delightful little place with lots of character, and we would definitely recommend it. ##### Kathryn E.
