How to get to Le Tilleul
It takes about 7hrs 30 mins to drive from the Channel ports to the house in the Charente. The quickest route is via Rouen, Le Manns, Tours, Angouleme and Chalais. Most of the the journey can be on motorways or good dual carriageways through glorious countryside with the final section from Angouleme to Chalaise through pretty countryside and vineyards.
Ryan Air fly into Bergerac airport while Easy Jet service Bordeaux - both airports have car hire and are about 1hr 15 mins drive from the house.
The TGV stops at Angouleme which is about 1 hrs drive from the house. Chalais has a railway station for local routes including Bordeaux.

Spent a wonderful week here. House was beautiful. Very well equipped. Kids loved the pool and the garden. The layout was great, particularly the outside. Would happily return.
Guest rating:
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house. Our one-year-old daughter absolutely loved running around the huge garden and splashing about in the enormous pool (a welcome change from our small, London flat). The house is set in the charming countryside, and there are several walking routes that take you through fields (full of sunflowers in summer) and woods, which really enabled us to make the most of the superb location. Chalais and Aubeterre, which both have plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants, are both a short drive away. Chalais also has a railway station from where you can easily get to Bordeaux or Angouleme in about an hour. The house itself was very well appointed, extremely comfortable, and has clearly been decorated with real care and attention - it feels like a home from home. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked to go back this October! We would recommend it to anyone.
Guest rating:
All was just as the owners described while they added still more quality and detail. Their local reps. were just as friendly and helpful, looking after the pool and helping to source anything needed, as well as suggesting the best shops and restaurants.
Rooms are big and full of character, with massive storage, and the kitchen and lounge are exceptional. TV, telephone and WI. Fi. all work well.
I enjoyed walking through the farmlands with their sunflowers, and varied bird life, plus further on, vines, whilst the restaurants in Chalais were good and friendly, using English whenever I needed it. There are more places to visit than I can mention, though I especially enjoyed Cognac - a lively town with excellent public gardens, museums and walks, or boats on the river Charente.
I strongly recommend Le Tilleul and its area for all their varied delights, including the occasional call of a distant donkey. I shall come again.
