Cosy 2 bedroom gite, perfect for families - in Chalais, Charente - L’atelier du Bouton Reviews

Really wonderful second visit to La Tannerie. All our family settled straight in and enjoyed the super relaxing setting and facilities. Jen and Ken are super hosts!
Very picturesque cycling routes in the area for those interested!

Ken et Jen sont des hôtes formidables: les gites sont adaptés à des vacances familiales avec piscine sécurisée, grand espace de jeux pour les enfants et divers jeux fournis. Merci à eux pour leur accueil , leur gentillesse et leur discrétion. Et pour les "attentions" gastronomiques à notre arrivée dans la maison.
Adresse à retenir pour y séjourner en famille et découvrir une belle région .Beaucoup d'activités dans les environs: canoë, lacs, aire de jeux avec accrobranche....et petites villes à visiter, marchés locaux.

An amazing two week holiday in September 2023. Jenny and Ken were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble for them and their knowledge of the surrounding area very good. A very thoughtful welcome pack with essentials and yummy treats was awaiting us on arrival. The gite was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed. There were lots of outdoor games provided, we enjoyed table tennis and pétanque. The swimming pool was a delight well maintained and just what was needed on hot days and for fun. Looking forward to returning one day.

As a family of 2 adults and 1 teen this was a perfect holiday!
There are so many beautiful places to visit in the area, recommend driving or hiring a car.
Jenny & Ken have ensured the gites have everything you might need for your stay! The Welcome pack was so appreciated too. The gite was spacious and so comfortable, home from home with a lovely private terrace.
Our hosts know the area well so had really useful tips and recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, markets and parking etc.
The pool is gorgeous! Plenty of space, loungers & sunshades. The grounds are pretty and well maintained with garden games available.
Thoroughly recommend La Tanerie for your holiday, whether as a family or a couple.
See you again!

Two perfect weeks and we could’ve stayed forever. Jenny and Ken we amazing hosts, friendly, helpful and so thoughtful. The gîte was spotless with everything you could possibly need provided, the pool was fabulous and the location unbeatable - right in town close to the necessary supermarkets, bars and boulangeries, whilst still secluded, quiet and loads of space for the kids to run about. Nearby villages with loads of activities for those inclined, and plenty of shops and restaurants for those who aren’t. Just a fantastic holiday. My two boys want to go back every year. Some of our fellow guests had done just that.

We stayed at La Tannerie for a week and absolutely loved it, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone for the location and the hosts, Jen and and Ken. They were perfect hosts, respected our privacy but also informed us of the many things to do in the area, and more than happy to make reservations on your behalf. The gite was well equipped, clean and spacious. It also had a shady terrace perfect for BBQing and apero! The pool area was the perfect place to relax. We had great fun playing badminton and table tennis too. Perfectly located in a town, close to amenities such as supermarket, Boulangerie, restaurants, it was so peaceful in the gardens. The Monday market was great. Lovely nights too close by.
Although there are 2 other gites, it is so private and quiet but also perfect for more than 1 family! We are trying to convince our friends to join us for a week next summer!
Further afield we visited Bordeaux for the day, aubeterre-sur-drone is a plus beaux village and worth a look, Brantôme is a fave of ours too.
One word of warning make sure you pack lots of mosquito repellent!
