This is a quiet rural location where you can really lose yourself, far away from the usual hurly-burly but just 6km from the N10 motorway and the bustling town of Ruffec, which lies on the beautiful Charente River. It is now twelve years since we bought our beautiful Charentais barn, and five years since we converted one of the outhouses into a Gîte. We have had such a positive experience in letting this out, that we decided we should also convert a lovely old stone workshop into another gîte. The Old Atelier has its own entrance further along the drive with gates opening onto a large gravelled parking area, with plenty of room for both Boules and Barbecuing, then down a couple of stone steps into the secluded garden area which is equipped with comfortable reclining chairs, assorted tables, chairs, and the very important parasol. The conversion was completed a couple of years ago now, and it was very important to us that it was carried out sympathetically, and to a very high standard. We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious '4-Star' accolade by Charentes Tourisme under the 'Meublés de Tourisme" scheme. We are particularly keen to provide everything we think is important for a happy holiday: a local oak dining table, a dishwasher, Broadband Wi-fi, Denby bone china, sharp knives, two types of corkscrew, a huge flat-screen TV with 5.1 cinema surround-sound, UK TV & lots of good DVDs, plus a large, firm and especially comfortable bed, and a large walk-in shower... Outside, in the secluded gated garden, there are three discrete relaxing areas, the main north-facing dining area for summer dining away from the direct heat, a smaller east-facing dining area for breakfasts, coffee etc., and a south-facing relaxation area with reclining chairs and a small table with a large parasol for that all-important soaking up of the wonderful Charentais sun. Remember in the lovely summer micro-climate of the Charente, clouds are rarely seen and it stays warm until 2am - perfect for an extremely leisurely al-fresco apéritif and barbecue, as you unwind at the end of a long day! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70530000/70523900/70523852/20225322.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hobogîte: 4-Star Stone Cottage, EXCLUSIVE use Heated Pool & Acre of Gardens La Chèvrerie - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=70523852&PinnedHotelID=70523852&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106750000/106747000/106746940/7291110b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom cozy home in Ligné Ligné - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=106746940&PinnedHotelID=106746940&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112350000/112347300/112347252/36fceebf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming cottage on a small river for nature lovers Ruffec - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=112347252&PinnedHotelID=112347252&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38400000/38393400/38393340/3d938ec3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 1 Bedroom Cottage/Gîte with shared pool in the Charente La Forêt-de-Tessé - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=38393340&PinnedHotelID=38393340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67310000/67302300/67302277/9d61bf35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peace and quiet on a private island in a bucolic setting.
