Welcome to Les Croix - Charente Country Retreat. If you are looking for a holiday that is a complete escape from noise, stress, traffic and others, you are in the right place to rest relax and recharge your batteries !
We have been providing fishing holidays for small parties, with luxury lakeside accommodation, in the Charente Departement of the Nouvelle Aquitaine Region of South West France for 17 years.
Having taken the decision to reduce the number of weeks available for fishing, the venue is now available for holiday rental at a lower price point, thus giving access to a unique private holiday site.
The lake is still accessible for clients who wish to some coarse fishing.
The emphasis is still firmly on the provision of a high quality holiday experience with modern well appointed accommodation in a very rural and scenic location overlooking a four acre lake on an 8 acre site.
The modern, comfortable and well equipped lakeside accommodation - which has its own secure gated access, is located on an 8 acre fenced site and is situated just 30 metres from the lake.
The property is fully equipped and boasts a UK TV, a covered outside patio area with large gas barbeque and eating area. Adjacent to the accommodation is the solar heated swimming pool with patio, sunbeds and seating area.
Guests have exclusive use of the cottage and site ensuring total privacy for your holiday. Small and medium dogs are allowed. Sorry, no large breed dogs.
The venue is located in a very beautiful rural area of South West France, but is just 12 minutes drive from a large town that has all amenities, and is only 25 minutes drive from Limoges Airport.
A warm welcome and 24 hour on site assistance are standard in all stays at Les Croix Charente Country Retreat.
There is a good 4G phone signal on site along with high speed internet wi-fi in the accommodation so you can stay connected to the world (if you want to...!)
