Our family friendly heated pool is completely enclosed by a min 1m10 high wall and is accessed by a gate which is self closing and has a child proof latch. It is also alarmed for extra security. The pool is 66 m2 and has a gently sloping beach style entrance, so its very child friendly and perfect for toddlers to splash around in, being just a few cm deep. It slopes gently down to an 80 cm shallow end then again down to a 1m 80 deep end. Because it is heated even younger children will happily swim / play in it from May to the end of September.

Idyllic family friendly gite, Charente Maritime

White Shutters — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:04:50 +0000

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.

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.
