Description of holiday cottage near Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, Poitou-Charentes

Le Manoir de Longeveau is a former Cognac Estate, lovingly restored and tastefully converted into the perfect holiday hideaway. We offer a superb range of facilities together with twenty four thoughtfully renovated, self catering, stone cottages. Accommodation can be booked individually or as a group, with several clusters of properties set within the estate.

'Le Chai' has been renovated from an old stone farm building at the back of the Manoir garden. The property benefits from the morning sun at the front and the afternoon / evening sun at the back. It features many of the original beams and stonework, with great views of the golf course and open countryside.

This spacious cottage comprises an open plan kitchen / dining / living area at ground level, with a w.c. and shower room. An oak staircase leads up to a mezzanine double (or twin) which overlooks the living space. There is a small terrace at the front and one at the rear, with steps leading down to the garden which in turn backs onto the golf course.

The facilities at Longeveau range from golf and tennis to ping pong and boules. There are several pools and a play area for our younger guests. The restaurant and bar are a great spot for a relaxing drink or an appetising meal, or you may just wish to just lie back and soak up the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings.

Longeveau itself is a small hamlet in a beautiful sun soaked valley in South West France, designated by the Michelin Guide as ‘a place of special beauty’.

Location description

Longeveau is located on the Charente / Dordogne border in a beautiful valley in rural South West France. Nearby villages are full of activity, with places to visit, dine and drink. The picturesque old Roman town of Aubeterre, which was recently voted one of the prettiest villages in France is only a bike ride away. Discover the 12th century subterranean church carved out of the rock or enjoy a drink on the village square with it’s variety of shops, eateries and museums, all overlooked by a 1000 year old chateau. Alternatively walk down to the river beach for a swim, relax or a bite to eat.

The market town of Riberac (20mins) has one of the biggest markets in France! The capital towns of Angouleme and Perigeux (45 mins) offer a wider and more sophisticated range of shops in a typically French setting. Brantome, nicknamed the ‘Venice of Perigord’ is well worth a visit at a similar distance. Also within easy reach are towns such as St. Emilion, Bergerac, Cognac and Bordeaux, all famous for their wines and spirits and equally beautiful places to visit.
Local activities range from walking, sight seeing, fishing, cycling, canoeing or even jet–skiing and quad biking to name but a few. Wine tasting and dejustation are of course a staple part of the French experience!

There are a variety of local festivals, fetes and firework displays that take place throughout the summer in the local villages and towns. These are aimed at all ages and generally take place between the months of June and September.

Children will find plenty to occupy themselves and their families with activities ranging from crazy golf, horse riding and tree top adventure's to daytrip’s to the popular attractions of Aqualand Water Park, La Palmyre Zoo and Futurescope.

Longeveau is fortunate to have a number of very good restaurants in the area, ranging from cafés to fine dining. As with everything, our staff will be happy to recommend or help you with decisions or to make reservations for you.
