Le Figuier is a two bedroomed cottage/gite at our wonderful old farmhouse logis which dates from the 17th Century. It is set in 2 acres of gardens, meadow and orchard and surrounded by vines and sunflowers. We also have 2 other holiday cottages here , La Libellule and La Sorciere . The 3 houses are very well spaced on different sides of an enormous courtyard so that you can be very private if you want to but at the same time it is easy to make friends with other families staying here at the same time.
Le Figuier is situated at the end of the immense courtyard and has windows looking over the courtyard and pool and also French doors opening onto a superb private barbecue/outside dining area in the meadow.
It is an especially good choice if you want to sit and relax with a glass of wine while being able to see your children enjoying the climbing frames, football area etc.
There is:
- A large combined kitchen/dining/living room with everything you need for a comfortable holiday including full sized cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee maker, dish washer and washing machine. Plenty of seating for eating at the table or relaxing in comfortable chairs. We've added a selection of books and games and we always try to include a selection of toys suitable for the ages of your children.
- Upstairs there are:
- Two bedrooms, one with a 160cm bed and the other with full sized bunkbeds.There is plenty of space to add a cot to either room.
- The shower and WC is upstairs. The house has stair gates top and bottom to keep young children safe and also a smoke alarm and CO2 alarm.
Only 10 minutes from historic Cognac with it's cobbled streets, pavement cafes, shops gardens, cognac houses to visit and numerous festivals throughout the year. We are also close to wonderful La Rochelle, the beautiful Romanesque small city of Saintes, medieval St Jean D'Angely, Angouleme, Royan, La Palmyre and much much more. Amazing sandy Atlantic beaches are an easy 40 minute drive away and then there is also the lazy River Charente and nearby lakes for canoeing, fishing and windsurfing.
You can relax and enjoy the beautiful 10 x 5 metre heated pool or play in the water with inflatable toys.
We also have a huge trampoline with safety net, table tennis, badminton and basket ball, football goals in the meadow and climbing frames with swings and slides. We have bikes in many different sizes to borrow free of charge as well as baby seats and a toddler trailer.
There is free, accessible wi-fi connection in the courtyard.
