The Gites at Le Tilleul is a sympathetically renovated hay barn, comprising two fully-equipped self-catering gites, Le Pommier and Le Cerisier, a 13m x 6m heated (June - Sept) swimming pool, playpark, gym and sauna set in 5 acres surrounded by beautiful Charente countryside. The gites have been designed and finished in a rustic French style, with all the charm and character of exposed timbers, stone walls and quirky original features, enhanced by fresh decor, contemporary furnishings and modern appliances. The grounds are fantastic for both children and adults. Children will love the pool and spacious grounds to run free – enjoy a game of table tennis, a bounce on the large 4m netted trampoline or one of the many ball games. Adults will love the summer terrace, beautiful unspoilt views and the well-equipped gym and sauna.

We are situated in a beautiful rural location just outside the quiet little hamlet of Le Lindois, in the south of the Charente, surrounded by farmland and close to the borders of the Dordogne and Haute Vienne. The quaint market town of La Rochefoucauld is just 10 minutes drive away with access to restaurants, shopping and the beautiful chateau. The historic city of Angouleme, the capital of Charente, is just 15 minutes further afield. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break or you wish to explore what the area has to offer, Le Tilleul is a perfect place to base your holiday. With lots to do in the area from the nearby lakes of the Haute Charente with sandy beaches, the adventure park in local Massignac (10 minute drive) to the town of Brantome in the Dordogne, surrounded by the river Dronne (just under an hour's drive) with its pavement cafes, restaurants and large park area, you won't be short of things to do.
