La Chevrerie Cottage | The Hobogîte: 4-Star Stone Cottage, EXCLUSIVE use Heated Pool & Acre of Gardens

1 Bedroom Cottage in La Chevrerie, La Chèvrerie

Welcome to the Old Stone “Hobogîte” - A Quiet Rural Getaway for two - Free WiFi - EXCLUSIVE use of brand new 30 sq.m. Pool and an acre of Gardens...
While our lovely Charentais barn was being renovated, we often camped out in an old stone outhouse - our daughter affectionately christened this the Hobo house, and the name has stuck. It was so nice in this friendly little cottage that we decided to convert it, and rent it out as a gîte - but only when there's no-one in the barn. This is how you will have the whole acre of gardens - and the pool (from May to September) - entirely to yourselves. We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious 4-Star accolade by Charentes Tourisme under the 'Meublés de Tourisme" scheme.
This is a true get-away-from-it-all escape; if you see 3 cars a day passing on the small road at the end of the drive, you should feel honoured! You are however just 5km away from the N10 motorway, and 6km from the local town of Ruffec and the Charente River - for swimming, canoeing, fine dining, or simply sitting and enjoying it all.
As you will see from the pictures, we have carried out the conversion sympathetically, to a very high standard, providing everything we think is important; a local oak dining table, a dishwasher, Denby bone china, sharp knives, two types of corkscrew, a huge flat-screen TV with 5.1 cinema surround-sound & lots of good DVDs, a large firm and especially comfortable bed, a multi-jet “shower pod” like something out of Star Trek... and outside, a vast north-facing shady hangar with a large ceiling fan for those hot summer lunches, a choice of two barbecues and of course outdoor ping-pong, all sheltered from both sun and rain.
Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout. Even down by the pool, so you can do a little casual surfing as you relax under a parasol on the comfortable pillows of the hardwood sun-loungers. Or in a deckchair under the small plantation of mature pine trees which provide a pretty spot to relax with a book in pine-scented shade. Not forgetting a cooling shower in the huge "walk-around" shower in the wet-room of the Pool House, converted from what is probably the finest stone-built chicken coop west of the Charente!
After your lunch in the cool of the shaded hangar, another swim, and a 6km cycle-ride or drive into Ruffec, to the twice-weekly market or the spanking new branch of E.Leclerc, for vital supplies, you'll be ready for an extremely leisurely al-fresco apéritif and barbecue. Remember, here in the wonderful summer micro-climate of the Charente, it stays warm until 2am...
And so to bed ... in that very comfortable bed ... in the old stone “hobogîte” ...

Summary: The Hobogite is beautifully presented and the owners supply a generous welcome pack, which is a great help for weary travellers. The exclusive use of the swimming pool is a great plus. The area is tranquil and extremely pretty. We loved staying here- just right for 2 people.

Summary: Lovely property in a quiet village. Perfect for a holiday doing very little other than lounging by the pool and taking in the sun. Quality restaurants recommended by the owners did not disappoint. Ruffec very quiet but the E. Leclerc hypermarket superb, but absolutely packed on Saturday. Niort and Melle well worth the drive and Verteuil sur Charente beautiful in the mid-week.

Summary: Lovely Quiet Gite in the Charente, excellent location to explore the surrounding area and further afield to the coast. Excellent exclusive use pool that was a life saver as the temperatures climbed over 30. Very comfortable for a 2 person stay. Great communication with the owner and the local caretakers. Thanks!

Summary: Cannot fault this property. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again. Very good communication and any queries answered straight away. We have previously stayed at another property from a different provider and it was dire to say the least , so we were apprehensive. We needn't have been. This is superb. Thank you

Summary: We stayed here for two weeks and throughly enjoyed our ourselves. The gite is great for two people and Rob & Lene provide everything needed for a comfortable stay. The garden is huge, well kept and has plenty of wildlife to watch whilst chilling by the pool. The pool is fab, we were in it most days and we were especially grateful for it when a heat wave came through the area. The quiet location of the gite is ideal for unwinding being in the middle of the countryside. But 10 mins by car and you are in Ruffec for supermarkets, restaurants etc. Also in an ideal location to explore the Charante area. We had a perfect two weeks here and highly recommend it.

Summary: We enjoyed our 2nd visit to the Hobogite. We were very lucky with the weather, which enabled us to enjoy every aspect of the lovely garden and heated pool. The welcome pack was a much appreciated touch to start our holiday. However the mattress dips in the middle which prevents us from giving 5 stars. Thank you to Bill for his help and advice.

Lovely little house in a great area, fabulous pool all to yourself and the owners really care that you enjoy your stay, as proven by the attention to detail and the quality of furnishings and equipment provided. One of the best properties we have stayed in. Thank you.
