Fun filled and utterly charming!
Situated on top of a hill within a small village in the Charente countryside is Le Beau Chateau. With 6 gites of various sizes, including Le Petit Chateau, Le Beau Chateau will keep all the family very happy. No compromises are made here - the grown-ups will be thrilled by the attention to detail, the cleverly renovated properties and the views - whilst the children will delight in the myriad of amenities that have been laid on just for them! This is a fantastic place to take your family away on holiday.

"The small number of gites meant playmates but not chaos. The ideal thing was that the kids could happily mix and run around without too much supervision. They loved everything about it." Mum of 2 - May 08

The pools (adult and toddler pools) are enclosed, as are the grounds, offering parents much needed peace of mind. The main pool is also heated.

"The owner's motto is "Happy children mean happy parents." They're right. You can even order reasonably priced, home-cooked food everynight" - Mother & Baby Magazine tester, May '08.

Inside

Take a look at the individual properties for full details of what can be found in each one but rest assured, as you would expect from `Tots Approved` properties, all the gites are fully equipped with all the paraphernalia - washing machine, stairgates, sterilisers and so on - to make it as easy as possible for you to be away from home.

Outside

If the solar heated pool, trampoline, sand pit and climbing frames are not enough there is always La Bergerie - the indoor play area - that has been beautifully renovated to provide a safe and shady area for the children to play in.

"It was bliss to be able to sit outside with a glass of wine, enjoying the views, while Thomas played in the sandpit or the barn." - Mother & Baby Magazine tester, May '08

There's archery, mountain biking, paragliding, horse riding, golfing and more. Le Beau Chateau has become a centre for archery.  Children and adults alike can have a go at this historic sport with the help and guidance of an expert.  The natural protection provided by the `bowl-like` geography of the area means that most days are perfect for having a go.  Alternatively mountain bikes are available for hire and there are plenty of trails to explore.  If you do need to keep in touch with the outside world, there is even a Wifi hotspot here so you can log-on wirelessly.

As well as chickens and guinea pigs, there are 3 lovely pygmy goats at the property, - they are Rosie, Sweetpea and Squirtle, and they are a delightful addition to Le Beau Chateau.  A wonderful opportunity for your little ones to get to meet some fabulous farmyard animals.

If that is not enough there are local facilities for paragliding, horse riding, golf and more besides.  You are unlikely to be stuck for things to do!

And Beyond

Le Beau Chateau is situated within a delightful Charentais village, perched on a hill. Its tranquil village location allows for gentle walks to one of the two bars, the 10th century church, to the village Post Office or into the countryside beyond.

The Charente is a wonderfully rural department with pleasant rolling countryside and pretty little villages. There are many, many places to explore, from the local markets and restaurants to the larger towns of Riberac, Brantome and Angouleme.

As well as the many flights now available from the UK to the region, it is also quite possible to drive to this part of France, being about 8 hours from Caen. We can recommend family friendly hotels for your journey down if you want to break the trip in the stunning Loire Valley and visit a chateau or two. Just enquire and we can advise you on what suits your family best.
