Om værten
Vært: Olivia & Andy Spracklen
We moved to France in March 2014 having rented out our bungalow in Bournemouth. Andy finally quit his job with a bank after 33 years!
Andy was looking forward to his first ride on a sit-on mower, and I couldn't wait to get cooking with my new range cooker. It was GREAT to have so much space. My welsh-dresser that I bought in 1977 had never looked so small. It had always been squeezed into small rooms in previous homes. Andy soon spread out all of his tools in a lovely ‘organised-mess’ in the huge workshop with his beloved lawn-mower.
Our thought of ‘the good life’ were tempered by common-sense. I talked Andy out of having a donkey, and we shelved the idea of keeping chickens because we travel back to the UK to see the grandchildren several times a year. I did start a vegetable patch, with little previous experience. I watched the gardening programmes on the internet and TV to find out how to sow seeds, and prune the fruit trees in the orchard. We discovered the walnuts and hazelnuts when they started falling out of the trees!
I managed to pick enough blackberries to make a few gallons of wine the first year. We invited our English neighbours (there are three English couples in our small hamlet) to try the wine. I had bought a hydrometer, but I had no idea how to use it. We concluded there was very little alcohol in it because it registered the same level as pure water. However, we were wrong – it packed quite a punch!
It was glorious to be able to store away some of our own apples for the winter. The pears were too small to be useful, so we hope by pruning we will be able to grow some good-sized ones for our gîte guests to pick next autumn.
We enjoy exploring the local markets and supermarkets. The wine here can be really inexpensive, especially when it is on offer, often as little as 2 euros a litre. You can get it even cheaper, but we have not been brave enough to try it!

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
A newly renovated 18th century 2-bed/2 en-suite cottage, in a quiet countryside location. It is located right next door to our own house.
We are a 15-minute walk to a small village or the river Charente.
Hazelnut cottage is part of our longère (a French farmhouse). The cottage shares our huge garden with an orchard. Set apart from the rest of a small hamlet, it is ideal for those who like to sit and relax in peace and quiet, or those who like to walk through country lanes.
Completely re-built in 2016 (with wall and roof insulation) by expert craftsman, Hazelnut cottage provides a home from home all the year round. The thorough wall insulation means that you will be able to keep comfortably warm all through the months, especially important if you are house-hunting in the winter.
The cottage shares the solitude of the large garden with mature fruit and nut trees and far reaching countryside views.
The character cottage features original features, a Charentais fireplace, a Charentais window, and an original sink used by the farmhands probably dating from 1851.
The Godin wood-burner is a fully-restored antique, probably dating from the 1920’s. We provide complementary wood for you, and help you to light it if you are a novice! Electric heating (complementary too) is also provided so that you can keep warm 24/7.

The hamlet of Chez Vaslet is 500 metres from the small village of Benest, with a Post Office and a XII century church. In Alloue, the next village, 6km away, there is a cafe/bar where you can have a set lunch, and also fresh bread is available here,( and cigarettes).
There are many country lanes to explore (I will provide you with a local map). You can walk to the river Charente in about 15 minutes.
There are many good restaurants – some near and some farther away. You will be delighted with the quality of the food offered for lunch and evening meals. Many restaurants serve a freshly cooked healthy 3-course lunch starting strictly at 12pm-1pm for £12.50-£15. Most French working people rely on these restaurants and the food is really good. We can provide you with a list (and a map!)
There are many interesting places to visit. Angouleme is a historic town an hour away in the car, and Poitiers is about one and a half hours away. There are many chateaux near and far.
Champagne Mouton is our nearest small town, about 30 minutes away, with a 24-hour cash-point, petrol garages and a really nice Carrefour mini-supermarket. There is a superb car-repair garage here too.
Confolens, just 20 minutes by car, is a beautiful small town on the river Vienne. It is great to explore. This town offers a twice weekly market, a large supermarket. In August there is a week-long International Dance Festival here with many concerts and parades through the town. There is an outdoor swimming pool here.
Ruffec is another small town offering some out-of town shops as well as a number of large supermarkets. On the A10, it is the gateway to adventures further afield, like the Valley of the Monkeys, Puy Du Fou, and Futurescope.
There are many chateaux in this area. Visit Verteuil to visit the chateaux, the working mill loving restored by its owners, the lovely art and gift shop on the bridge, the river walk, and the 'Portbleu' restaurant. See many other beautiful and interesting villages.
