Idyllic family friendly gite, Charente Maritime

by

White Shutters is a conversion of traditional 19th Century manoir farm buildings and stables into comfortable family holiday accommodation. The house has retained many traditional features such as exposed stone walls and beams. The gite is situated in Charente Maritime, south west France less than an hour from the beach.

Outside there is a large private floodlit 12m heated swimming pool for your exclusive use, situated in a private walled south facing garden.

Your family friendly holiday rental sleeps 8-12 (maximum 8 adults and up to 4 extra children/babies) in four generous bedrooms with four bath/shower rooms. The arrangement of the house gives ample privacy for 2-3 family groups sharing. Bed linen, towels, and wi-fi broadband internet are all included for a stress free holiday. Baby equipment provided includes two cots (one wooden cot and one travel cot), stair gates top and bottom of stairs and two high chairs, potties, step stools and plastic picnic ware.

The large cooks kitchen is comprehensively equipped for a party of up to 12. We have plenty of large pans and serving dishes, a huge second chiller cabinet in addition to the fridge freezer, dish washer and washing machine. There are two tables in the kitchen so everyone can eat inside on the rare occasions the weather is not perfect (or too hot!)

This large (200 square metres) light, spacious and traditional house is situated in South-West France in the department of the Charente Maritime (part of the Poitou Charentes region) and is only 6km from the thriving market town of Aulnay. Situated in peaceful countryside dotted with sunflower fields and vineyards, the Charente Maritime offers long hot summers, short mild winters, clear skies and fresh unpolluted air. The quiet roads and gentle terrain are ideal for family cycle rides. Cognac is very convenient for a day out. The many and varied Atlantic beaches betwen La Rochelle and Royan are within easy reach.

White Shutters is only five hours driving time from the Western Channel Ports (7 hours from Calais) on good auto routes and is less than an hour from two low cost airports, Angouleme and La Rochelle, with Poitiers 90 minutes away.

White Shutters offers the perfect French self catering holiday for your family and friends. There is so much to do that a fortnight will not be long enough!!
