Another great afternoon messing about on the river at Confolens!
Although many of our guests have the best of intentions to explore our beautiful region, they often end up spending most of their time at Le Tilleul as there is so much on offer here: the 13m pool, Pétanque, croquet, table tennis, table football, archery, the cool gym, Möllky, badminton, darts, the playpark and the much loved 14ft trampoline....to name but a few! However, here's a taste of what is on offer for those who fancy exploring the Charente a little bit more!
**TOO LATE - IT'S GONE! One very lucky family from Wimborne in Dorset has bagged a real bargain!**
We have one week's availability left during the UK school summer holidays in our larger gite Le Pommier (Sleeps 6) - 11th to 18th August 2018. This week became available again about a month ago (due to a late cancellation on medical grounds) and with only two weeks to go we've decided to offer a £500 reduction, yes that's a MASSIVE £500 reduction, on the list price - that means it's £1195 instead of the list price of £1695! Please feel free to share with your friends and family - this kind of opportunity doesn't come up very often! First come, first served!
There are some strange creatures cooling off in the pool this evening!😉
The annual 'Fête Médiévale' is taking place in La Rochefoucauld this weekend. We went last year and thoroughly recommend it as a great family day out for all ages.
Here's today's view from the sun terrace!☀️🚜🌺🌻🌷🌼🌸
Hammock with a view!
If you fancy relaxing here we still have some limited availability during the school holidays (Click the 'send message' button if you have any questions)
If you are staying at Le Tilleul, we recommend a few hours exploring our pretty local town of La Rochefoucauld. Guests can visit the beautiful château, parts of which date back to the 11th Century and have a stroll around the shady woodland walks which are nestled behind it. From the château, cross the bridge over La Tardoire river and discover the convent 'des Carmes' and the high-street with its restaurants, crêperie, cafés, shops, cinema and 'chocolaterie'.
The lavender is alive with lovely bees 🐝☀️🐝☀️🐝
Cooling off by the pool.....all part of the 'job'! 😉☀️🏊♀️
Lovely evening at Le Tilleul for a family game of Mölkky
The only place to be at the moment......🌞🏊♂️☀️💧
We have had an unexpected cancellation today (due to a serious medical condition) and therefore now have a two-week slot available in our larger gite (Le Pommier -sleeps 6) for August - 4th to 18th August 2018. If you fancy a two-week break in the sun in peak school-holiday time, or you know someone who might, please contact me via the 'Send Message' button above.
Meanwhile, we continue to receive positive feedback from our guests - here is our latest Review, posted on Trip Advisor today, from guests who rented Le Cerisier last week!
"A hotel quality gite - perfect"
Left on Jun 26, 2018 for a stay in Jun 2018
"This is the one we'll be going back to. Hotel quality bedding on a king size bed, spotlessly clean and properly equipped with everything from coffee makers (3 to choose from!) to a full range of knives for cooking. Excellent facilities and really well cared for. All equipment was provided from badminton rackets and shuttlecocks to pool toys. Les and Sara are perfect hosts - there when you need them and invisible when you don't! Every need has been anticipated, absolutely gorgeous setting in the countryside, but within easy reach of attractions".

The fields around Le Tilleul are dotted with hay bales (.....and the odd hot labrador!)
Life is rosy at Le Tilleul 😊🌹🌷🐝
35 degrees.....time for a dip in the pool and then find some shade!

The lavender around Le Tilleul is looking particularly stunning this year. It's lovely to see the burst of colour in front of Le Cerisier and Le Pommier. The bees are happy too! 🐝
A few snaps from Le Tilleul this afternoon. It has been a beautiful day!
