Photos and Description of this Charente holiday barn Two adjoining village properties providing from 2 to 5 bedrooms

'Elders' is two houses, a cottage and a barn conversion, and they are both well appointed and furnished. The cottage is a romantic stone property with a large Charentaise fireplace, exposed walls and 2 bedrooms with a balcony accessed from both. The barn has 3 bedrooms, a double height living room with galleried kitchen and both a bathroom and a shower room. One of the bedrooms and the shower room are on ground floor and easily accessible to elderly or disabled guests. The properties are available separately or together. Each property has an area of garden and there is a large gravelled courtyard area for dining alfresco. Terrebourg is a tiny hamlet, but there are larger villages with shops close by whilst the wonderful city of Angouleme with its medieval pedestrianised streets and many restaurants is 20 minutes drive away. The city also provides excellent shopping, a TGV rail link 2 hours 15 minutes from Paris and an airport with Ryan Air flights direct from Stansted..

Terrebourg is a small hamlet about 4 miles from the N10 and about 15 miles from Angouleme. Whilst the hamlet just has a post box and a boule pitch there are shops 2 miles away in the village of St Angeau including a bakers, chemist, petrol station and grocer as well as a bar/tabac. The larger town of Mansle is 10 minutes away with a far greater selection of shops including super markets, post office and bank as well as several restaurants and bars. Angouleme is a delightful & historic city with extensive shopping facilities, narrow medieval streets full of bars and restaurants and several main attractions including a fine romanesque cathedral and a famous museum of comic strips. The Charente is very rural with gentle hills, forests, fields of sunflowers, corn or vines and excellent opportunities for walking or cycling. There are many rivers offering all manner of water borne activities and the atmosphere of the region is very friendly and relaxed so you can just kick-back and enjoy!

A great property

L&R Nottingham
Review Submitted: November 25, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
We have long been committed to the delights of rural Charente both winter and summer and needed a retreat this November. The ambience and charm of the Barn made it a perfect get away. The house is beautifully furnished and exceptionally well equipped. It has every comfort and the convenience of Wi Fi was very much appreciated. We loved the lay out and the dining area in particular made for some very pleasant mealtimes. Despite the time of year, even the weather was kind to us! A thoroughly enjoyable stay, highly recommended.
Owner's Response: We obviously cannot control the weather, but if you need to spend time indoors then we like you to be as comfortable and as well catered for as possible.
The barn has an excellent 8 seater oak dining table with comfortable leather seats and the kitchen is comprehensively equipped. After dinner there are two leather sofas in the living room and you can watch many UK tv channels, dvds or listen to cds or even dock your Ipod. There is also a library of books, playing cards and some jigsaw puzzles if you prefer more low-tech entertainment!
The Barn is centrally heated, but nothing is cosier than lighting the real fire and watching the flames flicker whilst sipping a glass of the delightful Charentaise speciality of Pineau.
We love our time at the Barn and want our guests to fully enjoy their time as well.

Fabulous properties ! You won't be disappointed !

Tes & Jen Redditch, Worcestershire
Review Submitted: November 21, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Both properties are fantastic, clean, brilliantly equipped, superbly maintained,we didn't want for anything, nothing was too much trouble for the owener and his local agent. The cottage is cool and traditional with stone stairs, large bedrooms with very comfy beds and doors that open onto a delightful balcony. The Barn is modern and spacious with equally good bedrooms, huge kitchen that opens onto a patio, so cook your meal and take it straight outside with a glass of wine and sit in the evening sun while you listen to the sound of peace and tranquility. FANTASTIC! Superbly equipped, spotlessly clean, David has thought of every single thing you could possibly need to make your stay enjoyable. I have to say the photographs do no do it justice! The surrounding countryside is so peaceful and pretty and the roads are a delight to drive on, the people are friendly and don't mind if you get your French wrong! We visited Angouleme, a lovely French town with lots of places to eat and drink, shops with Pastries to die for, and lots more with presents for home. Chateau Rochefocoaud is worth a visit and we loved La Rochelle. There are so many places to see and we didn't have time in one week. Perhaps Next time? I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you want a peaceful, quiet, tranquil break from life in a fabulous location with all the comforts of home. We WILL be back, Can hardly wait. I find that whenever I am having a bad day I go back to Terreborg in my mind's eye for a moment to relax. Thank you David.

A 6 month stay

Madness France
Review Submitted: July 4, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
Our family stayed in Elders for 6months 2008/2009 and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The house accommodated our family perfectly and was spacious whilst retaining its cosiness feel. Fully equipped and furnished to a nice standard. The hamlet was beautifully quiet so enjoying meals al fresco was a pleasure. A few towns locally so we did not have to go far for items we needed or for pleasure days.
David was always accommodating had we any queries. We would definately recommend this property.

Weeks stay in Elders cottage

David and Michelle Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK
Review Submitted: June 17, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Elders is ideal for a quiet week of doing very little. Very comfy cottage - bed and sofa great - and a real treat to open the bedroom balcony doors each morning and enjoy the sun. Cottage was clean and tidy and obviously looked after. Lawn and gardens added to the ambience of the place and lovely for lying out. DVD player and Sky TV also handy when the weather wasnt so good. The hamlet is quiet and charming with easy walks through fields directly opposite and Angouleme and Cognac arent that far away in a car.

The big plus for us was David, the owner. Very friendly and helpful and prompt replies to emails and phone calls. Organised pick up to and from airport via a local friend, ensured that there was some food for us when we arrived and helped us out with a car for the week - brilliant!

All in all, the place and David made it a perfect retreat for a week to get away from it all with absolutely no hassle.

Fabulous Location and property

Meli Kerner St Leonards On Sea, East Sussex
Review Submitted: May 25, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The property is found in the area of Charente which is rural, uncrowded and unhurried. It is furnished beautifully, with big, comfortable sofas and chairs inside and relaxing seating outside, as well as somewhere to eat al fresco.
All the facilities one could wish for in such a property are present. Because of the rural location restaurants are obviously a short drive away, but everything from typically French to Caribbean can be found. The town of Cognac is in easy reach, where there are tours of the leading brandy making facilities, as well as a charming town centre with plentiful bars and restaurants. Wine and cognac enthusiasts will find plenty to interest them in the area and there is a local drink, pineau, waiting to be discovered. We loved the area and the property and found what we went for: relaxation.
