This lovely riverside house offers two en-suites chambre d’hôtes rooms, between Bassac and St meme Les Carrieres. Breakfast is served in the stylish dining room with views across the river to “Le Flow Vélo” cycle path. With a contemporary and colourful palette, sumptuous quality beds and bedding, it’s perfect for a romantic weekend away or a cycling stop on your way to the coast. Bikes and kayak at your disposal. Beauty and spa therapies on site.
Allison and Brian have sensitively restored their riverside home together. With a passion for interior design they have created a contemporary boutique style B&B, with comfortable beds and modern facilities.
Situated on the banks of the River Charente between Bassac and St Meme les Carrieres, with fields behind and the river in front, it is uniquely placed and perfect for those who enjoy country life. Le Flow Velo is just opposite. This cycle path follows the river and can take you very quickly into Jarnac or Chateauneuf... perfect for running, cycling and walking.
