This very spacious and family friendly gite is situated in a beautiful part of Poitou-Charentes and has a private pool. La Lodge is a traditional 18th century farmhouse with beautiful views. Guests have at their disposal games, a snooker table, bicycles and AV facilities for in-house entertainment on the occasional days that the sun might not shine.
The fenced pool offers exclusive, private use (and above all is secure) and has a children's play area with stepped access. There is a grassed play area with swings which is perfect for famileis with young children; and to the rear of the property there is a paved patio which is ideal for lounging and relaxing with views across the valley, or alfresco dining.
La Lodge sleeps 5 - 12 people in 5 bedrooms across two floors, and has two bathrooms, making it ideal for two families to share. The amenities of the house are most suited for a party of up to ten adults and children, but extra beds are available to cover groups with more children and provide flexibility. It has been refurbished and has an enclosed log fire if you visit in winter. A newly modified bathroom and two bedrooms on the the ground floor of the house make the property highly suitable for those with limited mobility or wheelchairs.

The front garden is discreetly screened by hedges and walls to give you a high level of privacy and safety for children. The filtered swimming pool with paved surround and regulation safety railings is ideal for evening barbecues and lounging. The pool has undergone a major refit to provide a shallow stepped entry with a generous area for small children to play whilst others can swim in the main section. If you want to enjoy a quieter area away from the pool, then the rear patio area is ideal for reading or dining alfresco with lovely views across the Argentor River valley.

Garden - swing seat.
Cycles - There are 5 cycles available for your use. Please ask for these EXTRA facilities.

Because our rates are so competitive, we tend to book up early. If you wish to make a peak season booking for next year, then you can secure this at current rates if you book at least 12 months in advance. If you are a small group visiting out of school holidays, please feel free to enquire with us about special rates. See our video by using a google search for ChezRouffaud.
Please note that the YouTube Video listed here is now somewhat dated. There have been updates to the furniture, interior decor and extensions to the pool, downstairs bathroom/wet room, utility room and garden. A newer video is planned but the existing one is shown to give you a feel for the property.
