The property: La Prairie is a three-bedroom gîte on its own island, bordered on one side by the river Bruant and on the other by the millstream. It is named for its superb views towards the Charente ‘Prairie’ – the river flood plain. The open-plan ground floor has a stone fireplace with a log-burning stove. There are large living and dining areas, and a fully-equipped kitchen area which includes a gas oven with gas burners, a large fridge, a washing machine, a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster and a coffee maker.

All three bedrooms are upstairs. There are two double bedrooms and one room with a pair of twin beds. The master double bedroom has its own ensuite shower, basin and toilet; the other bedrooms share a separate bathroom. All bedrooms have excellent views over the prairie and river.

5 Mill gîtes available year round offering 2 semi-detached 2 bedroom gîtes "La Terrasse” & “Delice du Berger” and a 2, 3 and 4 bedroom in the Mill itself.

The friendly British owner & her teenage children live year round in the Millhouse & will be pleased to welcome you to their idyllic setting and make you feel at home! Our Visitor’s Book speaks for itself!

Beurlay, 4kms, has a P.O., Baker, Bar/Café/Tabac as well as a local “Relais Routier” which serves an excellent 4 course meal with wine for Euros 10! St. Porchaire is nearby with a local Supermarket, Petrol station, Chemists, Doctors, Dentist, weekly Market, Restaurant. There is a good choice of excellent restaurants locally and at Saintes, a lively town just 20 mins away is a lively town with excellent shopping, many restaurants, bars & clubs, Roman Amphitheatre, local Clubs & Tourist Office. By the way Saintes is twinned with “Salisbury” in England and just this year celebrated its 10 years’ association. Furthermore, there is a newly renovated Theatre in the centre of Saintes with an occasional film in English (French sub-titles!) as well as a variety of plays & music events.

Saintes also has a good daily Market (except Mondays) and a big “Foire” once a month. Perfect for buying a wide range of delicious fish & shellfish.

The tidal reaches of the Charente River are a mere 5 minutes away as it flows from Cognac, via Saintes and down to the Estuary at Rochefort. Cognac, about a 45 min. drive, is well worth a day out to sample one, or more!, of the several old Cognac producers such as Hennessey, Courvoisier, Remy Martin and Ottard.

Closer to home is good walking near to the canals & perfect for birdlovers as there is an abundance, including Herons, Storks, Kingfishers to mention just a few.
