Charente holiday cottage: Le Lindois

Comfort and character feature in this sympathetically renovated, detached stone cottage. It is cool in summer and cosy in winter with a log burning stove, plus electric heaters in the lounge and both bedrooms. Some of the stone walls have been left exposed as decorative features. The original wooden fireplace is in the lounge and a brick chimney in one of the bedrooms. Many original oak timber beams remain. Downstairs is open plan with a kitchen/diner and a spacious living area with a TV and DVD, books and some games. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a shower room with WC. All windows overlook the gardens while the sky can be admired through the roof lights in the bedrooms. One bed is situated beneath such a window so why not leave the blind open and admire the milky way on a cloudless night. A south west facing patio to one side of the cottage has furniture and a BBQ, ideal for taking meals accompanied by sunsets and birdsong.

The peace is rarely broken with the sounds of sirens but rather the occasional tractor, lowing cow or hoopoo and cuckoo in spring. Buzzards are to be seen all the year round. There are many species of birds to inspire the twitcher. Artist will be inspired by the views, flora and fauna. Grassy footpaths and country tracks are close by for rambling and searching out wildflowers in spring and summer. Nutritious chestnuts abound in the autumn. We are keen gardeners and hope to provide produce in season from salads to soft fruits. Our uniform depth pool is surrounded by lovely old trees and flower beds. An arboretum is in the making while the well established 100 tree orchard is a riot of blossom in the spring. A lazy holiday in the locality of the cottage is a possibility. New for 2008 is a garden swing facing the sunsets. The local area has many beauty spots and places of interest to visit. Cycling around the area is pleasant as gradients are moderately undulating.

Bikes available for hire.
