Bed & breakfast - Holidays & weekends in Verteuil-sur-Charente

1 Impasse des Tanneurs - Verteuil-sur-Charente

Stunning riverside location in picturesque village With castle, restaurants, shops and bars, 5 mins from Ruffec. Three spacious en-suite bedrooms With central heating. Fully equipped kitchen, terrace, garden, secure parking. WiFi internet access, Sky tv. Driving through the Charente countryside with its fields of sunflowers and sweetcorn you may be lucky and stumble on the charming village of Verteuil 5 mins south of the bustling market town of Ruffec. The river Charente winds its way under the walls of the 15 century chateau which looms above the tranquil village with bakers, butchers, a greengrocer, tabac/ general store, pharmacy etc. Tucked under the chateau walls you'll find one of the two village bars with its charming beer garden. There are also two restaurants in the village. Entering the property via a gated courtyard with secure under cover parking, we have 3 spacious, en suite bedrooms, in a self contained, converted barn, which retains many of the original features such as exposed beams, dressed Charantaise stone and even an original feeding trough. All rooms have central heating. One thing we always missed when staying in Bed & Breakfast accommodation was the lack of facilities for making hot drinks, preparing picnics or even cooking a meal. With this in mind we have incorporated a fully fitted kitchen for the exclusive use of our guests. Wifi Internet access is available in all rooms and English tv, videos, games and a large selection of books are also at your disposal in the kitchen area. We have a separate laundry with washing, drying and ironing facilities should you need them. Towels, shampoo, shower gel, tea and coffee, hair dryers etc. are also provided. If you're house hunting, then we are more than willing to pass on our knowledge and answer any questions you may have about the process of buying and renovating a property or integrating into French life (health, tax, French language courses etc.). If you're simply taking a relaxing break we're on hand to help with advice on local attractions and places to visit.

Ideal stopover
Friendly welcome from Janet with advice on what was going on in village and where to eat. large room in character property, with use of garden and kitchen. Only reduced score on cleanliness because of large cobwebs. Breakfast was generous and excellent. Lovely little village with good restaurant - café portebleue, and delicious brioche at Moulin (as seen on James Martin's travels through France).

B&B Par Excellence
Unobtrusive hosts Jan and Adam were welcoming, friendly and informative. A relaxed and laid-back manner is the signature of their business. On-site parking was important to us as was the proximity of the property to the attractive centre of Verteuil. A three or four minute walk across two little bridges spanning the Charente river and you're there! Our accommodation was bright, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Many guests return to Les Bruyeres time and again and my wife and I will be following suit. Highly recommended.

A Great B and B in the charente
An excellent location, welcoming host, good facilities, comfortable bed and brilliant shower (we have found this lacking in many locations) We could not fault it! We would definately recommend it and will do so to our family and friends who come to visit while we are renovating our french house. Breakfast well adequate and the best poached eggs I have had for a long time!
