Beautiful house in stunning countryside

Le Breuil is a spacious beautiful property in the countryside. It is laid out well, with 5 comfortable bedrooms, a huge, well kitted out kitchen and sitting room with a large tv and outside eating and bbq areas. We enjoyed having a choice of 4 tables to sit at for meals, 2 inside and 2 out. The pool was a joy and it was a perfect temperature. We enjoyed bicycling to the local village as well as playing lots of table tennis, table football, snooker and water volleyball and boule.

Wonderful and relaxing stay in rural France

This was our second stay at Le Breuil, after originally visiting in the summer of 2020 and again it didn’t disappoint. The house is spacious, well equipped and provides the perfect base for a relaxing holiday, where you can just chill out, enjoying the peace and tranquility of the location and the general relaxed pace of life in this beautiful part of France. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting and we will certainly be looking to return again in the future.

2nd visit and still great

This was our second visit to Le Breuil and so nice to be back. The location is lovely with great views and loads of space in the house if you needed. The caretaker was great to sort out any minor issues and we hope to come back again soon

Pilcher holiday

Can’t fault the property at all. It was a lovely building and lovely grounds. And of course the pool was great. Lots of games played by the children and adults. Very rural location. Long drive to any day trips planned. Great villa for a group of people. But probably too isolated for a smaller group or family.

Fantastic, spacious property with excellent facili

We had a great week at Le Breuil. The facilities and large space were perfect for a group of 6 adults and 4 children (aged 9-13). We loved cooling off in the pool and all the areas have been really well planned out to maximise use of the space, e.g. plenty of sun loungers, large shaded seating area. The fun extras, such as the pool table, were a big hit! The interior of the house is stunning too - really comfortable beds! We had a wonderfully relaxing week and would highly recommend Le Breuil. Thank you!

Relaxing Holiday

This is the first time I have ever written a recommendation about a holiday location, but after the week my husband and I spent last October I felt I had to make Le Breuil an exception. The tranquility of the surroundings coupled with the quality of the accommodation left us both completely delighted with our decision to choose Le Breuil. It is rare to find such a pastoral retreat within such an easy reach of so many varied restaurants and historic places to visit within a 30 mile radius. We had no children in our party but we could imagine with the spacious indoor rooms for snooker and indoor table football, and the opportunity in the vast field adjacent to the swimming pool, for football, boules etc, a family could be happy all day without having to put a step outside the property. You may rest assured that it will not be long before we make another booking, and we will have no hesitation in recommending Le Breuil to our friends.

Rustic retreat!

This property provides the perfect escape! We throughly enjoyed our two week stay here. Equipped with a pool, table tennis, board games and bicycles meant we enjoyed family time and got the get away we so needed. The accomadation was spotless, very clean which made us feel comfortable. The owners took the time to provide us with a book which detailed recommendations, which was most appreciated. We exsplored local villages and sights. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. I would highly recommend it!

Restful stay in the country

I stayed in Le Breuil for two weeks with family and friends and was enchanted by the beauty and quiet of the place. It was so restful and relaxing. The property itself is very well maintained with a beautiful pool and lots of space outside for play and activities. The rooms are spacious and light; and there are plenty of activities such as a ping pong table, big tv, bikes for glorious rides around the country, and board games. I felt as though I was able to escape everyday life and unwind properly. The owners had left a handy guide to the local area, really helpful as you can't necessarily walk directly to many places. We drove the short distance into local villages and towns and went cayaking, wandering local shops and exploring churches and castles. A truly magical trip, I cannot recommend Le Breuil highly enough.

Peaceful retreat in rural France - a gem!!

We are a family of four with two grown up daughters and we joined another family of four to enjoy a wonderful, relaxing two week holiday at this delightful property. The location was perfect nestled in rural France and only a short distance from small villages where we found some superb restaurants. The property was clean, well maintained and exceptionally well equipped and we found plenty to keep us occupied when 'at home' from table tennis, boules, heated pool, bicycles, table football, board games and Sky TV to name but a few! We were lucky enough to have good weather and made full use of the covered dining area outside, bar-b-que and comfortable loungers. We explored the local area and found the information in the house both from previous visitors and the owners very useful. Our only regret was that we had to leave as we all had a wonderful time. We would have no hesitation in returning and have recommend it to our friends.

Charente Heaven

This is the first time I have ever written a review but following our last trip to Le Breuil I felt I just had to do so. If one is looking for a perfect place to stay for a tranquil and enjoyable holiday then truly one needs to look no further than Le Breuil. My wife and I have traveled widely throughout France and the fact that our last trip here was our fifth, bears ample testament to how much we rate the accommodation and idyllic surroundings. The feeling of space both inside the accommodation and in the countryside outside has to be seen to truly appreciated. Within 50 kilometers are many historic towns and picturesque villages within which are many restaurants catering for a wide range of tastes and pockets. In short we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Le Breuil to anyone, and fully intend to go there again.

Ok but not great

Nice house , large and spacious and a lovely holiday was had by all. However , some of the property descriptions were not correct. The property is NOT cleaned once per week and we did have to ask for clean bed linen. No cleaning materials are provided either.The bicycles could all do with a bit of TLC , brakes not working on 2 of them. There is no restaurant in Charras , nor a tabac . It is a 10 minute drive to Marthon, not 5 minute.. The volley ball net does not fit across the pool. The cushions for the sun loungers were rather old and smelly.. Overall , far too expensive for what we got. Would not recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Timothy Abbott - Cornish Seaview Cottages

Host profile image
Hello, I run a holiday company called Cornish Seaview Cottages which lets cottages in Cornwall.. Having renovated a number of properties in Cornwall for holiday lets I decided to purchase a shell of a house and barn and build a holiday property in France. This proved to be a popular decision, favoured by my family and many returning guests as it is a wonderful family holiday home.

As a company we now have a few more properties in France and our Cornish properties are also growing in number. As a small friendly company we have many loyal customers who enjoy staying in our properties and return year after year.

Owning this property in France makes it very special to me and I hope you will enjoy staying there as much as I do with my family and friends and I look forward to welcoming you.

Why they chose this property

Its a fantastic, spacious, converted barn which is ideal for family groups. As the owner I visit the property with my family and have chosen to make sure that my teenage children have plenty of activities to keep them happy. The pool is heated and has been designed so that a good game of volley ball can be enjoyed! There is a table tennis table, pool table and table football. Outdoors we play Petanque and there is also enough space for our football goals, so we spend many a fun afternoon kicking a ball around. Over the years of visiting the area we have got to know the locals and also the local restaurants and I am very happy to recommend hidden gems that we can tell you about. One of our favourite restaurants is Le Petit only 10 mins drive away - owned by an English couple but it is very popular with the locals. The area is beautiful and peaceful and once you get to know it there is plenty to do and lots of places of interest to visit.

What makes this property unique

Enormous barn with loads of space plus 3 acres of land set in a peaceful private setting.

Plenty of games for all to enjoy:
Heated outdoor pool with volley ball net.
Table tennis

Large fireplace for winter lets.
Games room with pool and table football.
Petanque court
Football pitch
Badminton net
