About this property
Le Gite du Portail at Le Manoir de La Foye
Le Gite du Portail Sleeps four people
This is a delightful and spacious two bedroomed stone gîte in an enclosed courtyard. Le Gîte du Portail is approached through grand entrance gates and has its own large, partially shaded garden with extensive views over wonderful open countryside.
This gîte has been carefully renovated and recently modernised to a high standard, offering spacious accommodation for up to four people. Le Gîte du Portail is surprisingly large inside with thick stone walls, making it beautifully cool during the hot summer months.
On the ground floor there is a comfortable open plan sitting and dining room which leads through to the attractive kitchen which is fitted with a dishwasher, cooker, fridge/freezer and microwave and offers plenty of storage space. A spiral staircase leads to a large upper hallway with access to the bedrooms and the bathrooms.
The main bedroom is approximately 6m x 5m, with a beamed, vaulted ceiling and a super king-size bed. A feature of this bedroom is a small stained glass window, which was hand-crafted locally by an artist who has renovated windows of Salisbury Cathedral in England. There is an en-suite shower room with a toilet.
The second bedroom has twin beds. Both rooms have ample wardrobe and draw space and benefit from fitted carpets and rugs. There are fans in both rooms and a hair dryer is provided.
There is a well-appointed modern bathroom with a full size bath, toilet and separate shower.
Across the small lane in front of the gîte is a private garden, with lovely trees offering plenty of shade and extensive views over the adjoining fields. A perfect spot to do a bit of bird watching or catch the spectacular sunsets we get in this region.
A patio table, chairs, umbrella and a gas barbeque are provided.

About the host
Hosted by Nick & Chania Coveyduck

We are Nick and Chania and between us, we have over fifty years of experience of owning and running self-catering businesses. We re-located to France 10 years ago and now own and run this beautiful small complex of five gîtes in the Charente Maritime. We know holidays are very important so it is our aim to make sure that everything is perfect so that you have a relaxing and memorable visit to France.
Please spend a few moments to view our gîtes, all of which are furnished to a high standard. They are all well decorated and have fully equipped kitchens, including an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, kettle and toaster. A full set of china, cutlery and glassware along with kitchen implements are all provided. One of the most repeated comments are "You even include a garlic press!”.
