About this property

A stone lodge set in the grounds of an old farmhouse in the Charente countryside

L'oume Lodge is a beautiful retreat set in nearly 12 acres of orchards and meadows, surrounded by the picturesque countryside. The Lodge is situated on the grounds of a 200-year-old Charentaise farmhouse and boasts a private terrace, garden, and BBQ area for guests to enjoy, as well as a private gated entrance and parking area for multiple cars.

The highlight of the Lodge is the 12x6m swimming pool (open seasonal between mid-April to end of September) with a summer kitchen, built-in BBQ and wisteria-covered seating area. The depth of the pool is 1.25m throughout with a shallow side pool which is perfect for toddlers. The expansive garden and meadows offer a peaceful sanctuary where guests can relax and enjoy the breathtaking views and natural wildlife.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS YEAR THE POOL IS EXCLUSIVE TO L'OUME LODGE

The lodge features an open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen equipped with various coffee-making facilities and all the cooking equipment and utensils you may need. It comprises two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a bunk bed and a single bed, as well as a double sofa bed in the living area. There's a spacious bathroom with a jack-and-jill style layout, featuring a bathtub and a shower, and a separate toilet located off of the hallway between the two bedrooms.

There's plenty of space for guests to store their bikes or kayaks and we have 2 Schwinn cruisers that guests are welcome to use to explore the local area. There will also be binoculars and a guide of local birds in the lodge for your use as well as a guide to all the local bric-a-bracs and brocantes on in the local area.

The property is on the edge of a small village located 30 minutes north of Angouleme. The town of Mansle, with all the facilities, is only a seven-minute drive away.
There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. The bathroom has a bathtub or shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Superbe séjour au calme
Agréable séjour au calme dans le gîte de Natalie et son mari, tranquillité et respect de l'intimité par nos hôtes, accès sécurisé à la piscine et à l'espace pool house dont nous avons bien profité avec famille et amis de passage. Logement de plain pied très fonctionnel adapté avec un enfant en bas âge, gardant la fraîcheur par temps chaud. A 5 min en voiture des commerces. Nous recommandons vivement
