Cottage vacation rentals in Charente

For a few days we were able to enjoy the beauty and comfort of this cottage, located in the heart of a very charming area, as well as the kindness of its owners, Kenneth and Jan. We would highly recommend it and will gladly stay again.

Recommended hosts, very well hosted at Valerie's. very nice accommodation, well-equipped with beautiful furniture, you won't want for anything. We had a lovely weekend with the family, thank you!

Thank you very much to Nico for hosting us for this romantic weekend which went very well, the house is Niquel, a relaxing jaccuzi, a great host I would recommend and come back

Almost don’t want to say how lovely, as will make it more competitive to book to go back! In a word - glorious! - The gite, gardens and grounds and pool are kept beautifully. Gite was spotless and very well equipped (including lots of goodies on arrival, garden games to use there - kids were very happy - charcoal ready for the bbq etc), huge comfortable beds, and wood fired hot tub to sit and look at the stars. - Stunning surrounding views (endless fields of sunflowers) and lovely shady woods to be walk. - Lots of pretty villages - particularly Aubeterre with its central square and river beach worth the short drive (under 20 mins). We also loved the big river beach at St Aulaye (c.40 mins). - Meg and Mark are kind, fun and knowledgeable hosts who were perfect balance of around and incredibly helpful - but very much left us to just relax and enjoy the gite/pool as our own. - Shopping v easy at local supermarkets, various markets and nearby village shop/butchers. Thank you!!

Great for a short stay in a beautiful part of France! The host instructions re. local amenities and activities are super helpful given the relatively remote location.

Lovely, welcoming hosts and beautiful accommodation, with the bonus of private, off-street parking. A great find and one we hope to return to in the future! Don’t hesitate to book it if you can!

We had a fantastic stay at Carole and George’s house. The outside space was brilliant and we loved the pool and many different areas to sit and relax. The hot tub was a real bonus! George and Carole are excellent hosts and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great week!

We found exactly what we came for! tranquility and comfort. The place is perfect, quiet, and not overlooked. the hot tub, a real plus. In short, we recommend it without reservation!

Just amazing! Julie was very hospitable! Thank you for all the attention! Don't hesitate to go there!

Had a fabulous stay - Roxann was very lovely and helpful! Really enjoyed the place, the pups, the chickens, and the lovely breakfast! Thank you for welcome us Roxann!

It was a really nice week in the gîte rosiers. We enjoyed very much the nice surroundings and fun activities nearby. Super friendly hosts, they were always ready for us for help, fun tips and a chat here and there. It is definitely recommended!!

Great weekend with the family. Very nice house, as described. Beautiful garden. Peaceful neighborhood. Thanks to Kathrina for letting us check in early. We recommend this property

We had a great time at Marie Noelle's place! ✨ The space was sparkling clean and matches the photos although they don't show it enough because it's even better and more spacious in real life! The parking space is super convenient and the area is very quiet and charming with some nice little bakeries nearby! Marie Noelle was kind enough to answer all our questions and is very understanding about check-in times! We recommend it! 👌

Thank you for a very relaxing stay. We found the gîte to be exactly as described, with all the amenities needed. The area is very pretty and we enjoyed exploring for the few days we were here. Peaceful and pretty area.

A tranquil oasis in the middle of the Charente. Lee and Karl are great hosts and their Gite is immaculate and beautiful. Lee’s restaurant recommendations are brilliant and make sure you go and have cake at Gateaux!!

This is certainly a home from home with lots of thoughtful touches. Unfortunately my friend managed to break the door handle within hours of arriving and they were so lovely about it, and fixed it straight away. Very nice people with a gîte that is comfortable, very clean and very well equipped. Thank you.

We enjoyed an incredibly relaxing few days in Alice's gite. The photos do not do justice to this place - the renovation has been done to a very high standard, and the peace and tranquility of the location is wonderful. Alice is a generous host, and the farm and surrounding area are great for exploring. Thanks Alice, we will be back!

We loved our stay here. Beautiful location in rolling countryside, comfortable accomodation with amenities just a short drive away. Our host, Fran was very friendly and responsive. The gite was just lovely. We had a great time and would go back.

We had a great time. Thanks to Ludovic for his kindness and flexibility on check-in and checkout. Very clean accommodation, similar to the listing. A moment of relaxation and disconnection, quiet surrounded by nature and animals. We'll be back for sure!

What a wonderful place, a little paradise! Wenxi and Laurent gave us a warm welcome, you immediately feel completely at home. The house and garden are incredibly charming, and equipped with everything you need. Our children enjoyed the swimming pool and the sweet pets. Top holiday!

It was amazing and they were very friendly

We had the most amazing stay at ‘La Cottage’and will certainly be back. The cottage is located in the beautiful village of Villeret which is 10km from the nearest town of Ruffec where you can shop and go kayaking. The cottage is the most well equipped place I have ever stayed in with everything you need as a cook (John the owner is a chef and will often treat you with his creations which we’re delicious). We often spent days relaxing by the heated pool or walking / running in the beautiful countryside (John showed us a 5km and 10km route).

great quiet stay with many activities offered on site, friendly and family-friendly, nice walks to plan: hiking, canoeing, beaches and lakes to visit. close to Bordeaux. the hosts are very nice, discreet and welcoming. I recommend it!

Sylvie's place was really nice. As described, a lovely, small cottage - perfect for what we needed. Sylvie was quick to respond, and made extra efforts (like offering to find a child's bed), which was really appreciated. Would recommend.
