Guests are invited to have a round on the six hole crazy golf course which can be found behind the outdoor kitchen area. There is a laundry room with washing machine, iron and ironing board for guest use. Pool toilets and shower can also be found in the courtyard. 
The large, heated swimming pool is surrounded by a secluded grassed area for sunbathing. The pool area is fenced for child safety and contains sun loungers, seating and al fresco dining area. The pool will be open from May - September each year, weather permitting. To the side of the pool is a children's play area complete with Wendy house and swing and slide set to keep the younger ones entertained while you relax by the pool.
The property can be hired as a whole for large groups or families, or each gite can be hired individually. With exclusive rental of both gites, La Charronnière can sleep 16 people comfortably. Each gite is fully equipped with all you could want for a self catering holiday and both benefit from free WiFi connection and smart TVs with Netflix. 
We love animals and, if you have booked exclusive rental of the whole property only, then we are happy to welcome well behaved dogs, by prior agreement.
Just 2 miles away is the village of Chaunay with a small shop (co-op), tabac, chemist, and a bakery. Larger supermarkets such as Intermarche and Super U are within a 15 minute drive of the property. 
La Charronnière is immersed in the French countryside and is ideal for families, large groups, walkers, cyclists (roads are practically empty), bird watchers, those keen on fishing, canoeing and golfers.
We are within 15 minutes drive of the Vallee de Singe (Valley of the Monkeys) and just 40 minutes from popular theme park Futuroscope and Poitiers.
There are 2 golf courses within 45 minutes drive and lots of other outdoor pursuits such as canoeing and kayaking within a 20 minute drive. 
La Rochelle with its famous old port area, fort and Aquarium is just 90 minutes away. La Marais Portvain (the green venice area) is a 60 minute drive. The town of Cognac which is home to the famous cognac houses such as Hennessy, Martell and Remy Martin can be reached in around 70 minutes and is a great day out even if you do not like brandy! Ride the Velo-rail or watch the excellent Falconry display in the ruins of a castle in Chauvigny approx 60 minutes away. Chateau hop around the Loire Valley, which can be reached in just over 60 minutes, with most of the larger Chateaux within 2 hours. See our page on Local Attractions for more information or ideas for things to do. 
The Charente has a wealth of activities for you to enjoy; chateaux, churches, charming french villages seemingly untouched and places of natural beauty on your doorstep... or you could of course just stay by the pool and relax.
Things to note:
Our house is on site but separate and away from the guest areas. Guests have their privacy but we are available should you require any assistance during your stay. Please note that we are not a party venue. Music must be turned off at 11pm as we have neighbours and the sound travels in the rural area. Large speakers and DJ decks are forbidden.
The pool is heated and open from May to September, subject to weather conditions. We close the pool cover at night, to help retain its heat, and reopen it in the morning. Pets will only be accepted by prior agreement and only if you have booked the whole property. 
We are not a party destination and music is not allowed after 11pm. Large speakers and DJ decks are strictly forbidden. We do not charge for cleaning and so ask that the gites are left tidy, in the state you found them.
Firewood for the outdoor fire pit is available at a charge, or you are welcome to bring your own.
