You also have your own private grounds with a selection of picnic tables, benches, chairs and BBQ for lazy alfresco dining. There's darts, baby-foot and boules to keep you entertained, plus a projector and big screen for streaming your films.
Your hosts, Mike & Claire, live in the old farmhouse. We're close by if you need us, always happy to help, but the host and guest areas have been carefully divided, and you may well feel that you are completely on your own!

Les Chagnasses is wonderful; everything has been considered to provide all that will make a lovely, relaxing, and very special holiday. It is immaculately and beautifully presented, with taste and great style. It is perfect; we are booking again for next year.
We had an amazing holiday at Les Chagnasses Rural Gites.
This year we searched for a quiet and peaceful holiday and we got everything we wanted. It is a realy peaceful place and everything was clean, taken good care off and there is so much to do. The eye for detail that the owners have is absolutely amazing and lifts the experience up even more.
We can only recommend it!
Thank you for the peace and help.
A wonderful relaxing rural location with exceptional facilities. Could not have been better. Mike and Claire were welcoming, helpful and unintrusive.
I don’t usually do reviews but make exceptions when merited as is very much the case with Les Chagnasses.
We were looking for peace and quiet and Les Chagnasses was the perfect place for this - we loved everything about it. The accommodation was beautiful and had everything we needed to cater for ourselves and sleep really well. Mike and Claire have thought of everything and made this a really special place. We had a heat wave during our stay, but there were so many places to sit in the shade (or the sun) that we were perfectly comfortable. The pool is lovely and the view from there is gorgeous, the wood behind the stables is a beautiful place to relax and feel at one with nature. We loved having our own bar and pool house and enjoyed meeting the hens and listening to their chatter. A magical place.
Gîte exceptionnel pour un couple qui veut profiter à tout moment d être en tête à tête. Endroit vraiment bien conçu pour que l’on se sente à l’aise, dans un cadre idyllique. Claire et Mike sont disponibles mais très très discrets. Un plus non négligeable : leur panier d’accueil plus que généreux et attentionné pour le commencement de très belles vacances.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Chamberlin
Mike & Claire have escaped to the country, and bought an old farmstead in rural France. We love the peace and quiet of our small commune in the Charente. Surrounded by nature. We enjoy sharing our small patch of French countryside with like-minded lovers of nature.
Why they chose this property
We have taken time to tastefully restore the old stable block into a beautiful two room Gîte, and the old Pigeonnier into a second Gîte. All surrounded by mature gardens and terraces with lovely countryside views. Our house and garden have been carefully separated from the guest areas, so you will have complete privacy lazing by the pool,
What makes this property unique
Both our Gîtes offer you a four-star home from home, where privacy and peace is assured. Your summer lounge is an added bonus, offering you extra space by the pool, with captivating countryside views. Your private gardens have benches and picnic tables and BBQ's to enjoy alfresco meals and more amazing views. We have boules, darts and baby-foot, plus board games, books and CD's to keep you entertained. And a large scree with projector for streaming your favourite films.
