The Gite Du Jardin is situated in our large, leafy garden - a calm and quiet space where you are free to wander or relax with a drink and a good book. Guests will enjoy a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, with views of parkland and gardens. The The Gite Di Jardin is ideal for dogs (although multiple dogs /larger dogs must be by request please). The bedroom has views overlooking sweeping Charente countryside which is dotted with trees, lakes and grazing cattle. There is one master bedroom while in the living area the sofa can be transformed into a comfortable double bed. The bathroom/dressing room is a good size too. Extra rooms in the main house are available by request.

I have run Bed & Breakfasts for over 30 years and take great pride and pleasure in making my guests feel welcome and comfortable. I love swimming and walking so can advise on local hikes. I love all things French and know plenty about the local area so I will happily offer hints and tips about where to go and what to see. I also speak French fluently.

The Garden Gite is in the picturesque village of Massignac where there is a fabulous boulangerie, community cafe, auberge and grocers all within walking distance. The stunning Domaine du Lac is a few minutes drive away as are numerous lakes for swimming in - complete with cafes and bars for post-dip lunches. The lakes are perfect for families, with plenty of child-friendly activities to enjoy. Set in between two Chateau towns, La Rochefoucauld and Rochechouart there is much to see and explore. The lakes are 6 km away and provide fabulous swimming with sandy beaches and fun cafe life. The Golf Internationale de la Preze is of a high standard – great course and excellent restaurant just 14 km away. Fishing is also available ( a Permit is required) throughout much of the year.
