The property is in its own large grounds over 2 acres with no near neighbours, plenty of space for children, secure parking. It is only suitable for children under 5 years under supervision, due to terrace drops. Located on its own with expansive views of unspoilt surrounding countryside, the property is within 5 minutes of Brossac with its leisure lake/beach activities, restaurants, tennis courts and local shops. The market towns of Chalais and Barbezieux are each 10 minutes drive and have impressive chateaux and restaurants. The beautiful town of Cognac is 45 minutes away while the elegant port town of Bordeaux is only an hour's drive. Aubeterre, one of the prettiest villages in France, is 20 minutes and the beautiful Atlantic coast at Royan 1 hour. There is a restaurant within walking distance in the village. Chalais Market Another attraction is the weekly Monday market at Chalais, the city with the nearest train station. Not quite a Farmer's Market, nor a Flea market, you can find all sorts of knick knacks early Monday morning from 08:00 until about mid-day. Perhaps you want some fresh produce, fruit, cheese or meats or perhaps you're more interested in some traditional French hot food. Vendors sell chichis (churros), crêpes, paella, moules (mussels), and other assortments of delicacies. Of course there are clothes, accessories, and other goodies for the house. The vast array of scented soaps and jewellery make excellent gifts. Chalais Chateau At one end of the market, a steep incline leads you up to Chateau de Chalais. Though no longer functioning as a chateau, you can still cross the drawbridge and wander the courtyard and get a glimpse of the rolling hills that make up the Charente region. Owned by a well known French comedian the castle is in living condition and guided tours of between 1 and 2 hours, sometimes in English, are carried out by very enthusiastic volunteer guides representing the "Association for the Safeguarding of Chalais Country Heritage". In addition, there is a restaurant just off the courtyard. They have a very reasonable set menu for lunch. Close by you will find the walking trails right in the heart of the forest and the home to the Maison de la Forêt. Dedicated to the trees and to human activity, the Maison de la Foret is a historic heritage site for Montguyon and its surroundings dotted with castles and Roman churches alongside the night markets and various summer events. In the vicinity, you can discover the Dordogne region, the truffle capital; the river Blaye and the Gironde estuary, the village of Aubeterre, one of the most beautiful towns in France. Nestled in South Charente, Brossac is a picturesque village with all the conveniences and amenities to make your visit a comfortable one. The community is a mix of French locals, English and Dutch families, but still manages to retain its distinctive French flavour and culture. For outdoor activities, Brossac offers everything from hiking trails, horseback riding, jetskis, tennis, golf and football. Join the locals for a friendly game of Pétanque. For the more leisure minded, enjoy a relaxing afternoon visiting the art gallery, vineyards, wineries, or a quiet drink and chat with the townsfolk at the local pubs: try a pineau, Charente's gift to the world. Cycling Routes If you want to keep fit in your holiday you can join the Brossac community in one of their cycling routes. The departure point is La Place de Marroniers and there are two possibilities: The discovery circuit, also known as circuit 4B, which is 19 kms long and has a low level of difficulty. The exploring circuit, also known as circuit 4C, which is 34 kms long and has been labeled as difficult. Both routes count with numerous sightseeing points along the way, places to refill your water bottle in the hotter days, even one or two picnic spots nearby. Due to its more extensive itinerary, route 4C counts with 2 stops to enjoy some of the world heritage sites from the Charente region. For more information on the routes, please visit Brossac Tourist Information Office Brossac is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is great for walking or cycling. Brossac lake is a short walk away being about 2 km outside the

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
