    Lovely, quiet location. The kitchen was fully equipped and the beds comfortable. We had a lovely little garden with a BBQ. The owners were super helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding towns/ villages.

    Myriad positives. The proprietor, Craig, took the time (past midnight) to guide us by phone to our destination. On arrival, a really warm greeting; a gorgeous gite awaiting ... breakfast essentials included. The gite is just perfect! A real gem in...

    We really enjoyed our time here. The location is more than beautiful. At the beautiful (and very clean) swimming pool you look out on great sunflower fields and the houses are so perfect french. The house itself was really complete with everything...

The tiny hamlet of La Bucherie dates back to the early 18th century when it was the centre of a thriving loggery providing wood for a nearby forge. In the early 20th century the focus turned to farming, primarily goats for “chèvre” and many of the original buildings workers cottages were abandoned or became derelict. In 2014 the rebuilding and renovation of 2 cottages (Hibou & Hulotte) was completed and became available for the first time in 2015 as Les Chouettes. The 3rd Cottage Harfang has been renovated over the past 12 months and was completed in early 2018. Situated in this hidden jewel of SW France, the Charente, Les Chouettes holiday cottages are surrounded by unspoilt countryside with direct access to many outdoor activities and places of interest whilst providing the ideal spot to relax and unwind.
Nicola and Craig are the new owners of La Bucherie since taking over in September 2017. They have finished the last gite and are pleased to have all gites available for couples and families to enjoy.
There are numerous walks around the area for all abilities, many of them around the local lakes. The lakes, along with the walks, have man made beaches with various water sports to enjoy, The town of La Rochefoucauld (10k) has a wonderful Chateau which is well worth a visit. There is an adventure park 10 minutes away for all ages and many restaurants in the area.
