Your Home from Home

Each of our stone cottages has been lovingly renovated and styled to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. With original beams and exposed stonework, they capture the authentic rustic charm of the estate, and the surrounding French countryside. All properties come fully equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay, and cottages range in size from 2 to 10+ people. So, choose from a quaint couple’s hideaway to enough space for the whole family to explore and enjoy. Some of our homes also have private pools and all have their own private BBQ area. Our communal pool is also big enough that you can enjoy this delightful area with enough space for everyone.

Our location on the Charente/Dordogne borders of South West France offers our guests all the luxury of a calm rural retreat with easy access to transport links and the range of cultural experiences and leisure activities that make for a truly memorable fun packed holiday!

Our local village, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne is listed as 'one of the most beautiful villages in France'. It boasts a fabulous cultural heritage together with beautiful natural surroundings and the famous French 'art de vivre' !

Aubeterre has been welcoming tourists for over 1,000 years! Visitors enjoy meandering up and down the narrow streets, admiring the specialist shops and settling down in one of the many cafés or restaurants for a drink or bite to eat. The village square 'Place Trarieux' is the perfect spot to stop, comfortably shaded by the old lime trees and overlooked by the ancient chateau.

The extraordinary monolithic, underground Church of St Jean and the Romanesque Church of St Jacques, with its stunning façade, add to the cultural importance of Aubeterre.

At the foot of the village, where magnificent poplar trees and meadows meet the river Dronne, you will find the river beach and beach restaurant. A sandy beach with play area and beach volleyball, plus regularly organised attractions. The popular tennis club has an annual tennis tournament, open to all, plus you can hire Kayake form the Kayake station, where you can either go out for a paddle or they will drop you off further up stream and you can meander back towards Aubeterre at your own pleasure.

Aubeterre is only a 5 minute drive from Longeveau, or a very pleasant walk or bike ride along quiet roads and woodland tracks. But be warned it is uphill on the way back!
