About this property
Stunning gite With Shared Pool, Nr Matha & Cognac (ground floor also available)
This first floor gite gite (100m2) is accessed by a bespoke staircase and has beautiful vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. It has two bedrooms: one (20m2) with a king-size bed and the other one (16m2) two single beds. It has an open-plan living/dining room and kitchen (42m2) with dishwasher, microwave, hob and oven.
There is a TV (with English channels), DVD player and ipod dock. There is also a wood burner for the slightly colder evenings.
The gites are set in a traditional Charentise courtyard and are barns lovingly renovated to provide comfortable modern accommodation whilst still retaining many of the original features. Thus providing a great base to relax and from which to explore this beautiful region and the varied attractions of the Charente-Maritime and and Charente. Close to the beautiful historic towns of Cognac, Saintes and St Jean D’Angley but also within easy reach of the lovely beaches of Royan, La Rochelle and the Cote Sauvage.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kelly Barlow
We are Kelly, Ian, our children Martha and twins Archie & Josie plus Rufus the dog. We have lived here since we bought the house and barns in 2006 and love the beautiful peaceful countryside, large spaces and the fact we were made welcome as soon as we opened the gates to move in. We have renovated the barns and house from top to bottom ourselves and have put all our love and care into making the Gites and gardens a beautiful, relaxing place to holiday and after twelve years and three children! we would not wish to be anywhere else.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the house and barns as soon as we saw them, and even on a cold January morning we could see how lovely they could be and what a great place Les Grandes Ecures is. Our gites have the benefit of feeling lovely and secluded on the edge of the hamlet with beautiful views of the Sunflower fields and vineyards, but only 10 minutes away from Matha (our nearest town) or for more night life or shopping only 20 minutes from Cognac and 30 from Saintes.
What makes this property unique
The Gites benefit from beautiful thick stone walls which help keep the rooms cool in the summer, whilst retaining the heat in the winter. The Hanger provides a great place to sit and eat anytime of the day (or just sit and relax) with that all important shade in the summer and the cars are parked in the courtyard the other side of the gites from the pool and garden so as not to interrupt the views or disturb your holiday.
We live in the house on the other side of the courtyard from the Gites and are there to provide you with any assistance you may need with your stay (ideas on places to visit or eat) or to leave you in peace to enjoy your relaxing holiday at Les Grandes Ecures.
