Chenevaux Gite

The gite at Chenevaux is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a holiday or short break. Everything is provided for your stay apart from your personal posessions and groceries (which I am happy to get if you send a list), so as soon as you arrive you are on holiday!  Chenevaux is set in 7 acres of private grounds and surrounded by fields as well as being on a no-through access road so it is quiet and secluded.  We have the most beautiful sunsets over the fields and magnificent night skies.

Kitchen

The nearest villages, St Pierre de Maille and Angles sur l'Anglin, are within a couple of km and here you can find shops, cafes and restaurants as well as a picturesque ruined chateau, quaint stone houses and cobbled streets.  Angles sur l'Anglin is set on the Anglin River and St Pierre de Maille on the Gartempe, both ideal for canoeing an afternoon away or sitting on the banks having a picnic in the shade.
A little further away is the spa town of La Roche Posay, Chauvigny with its fabulous Saturday market and St Savin where the Abbey is a UNESCO world heritage site.

Dining area

The gite is set in its own gardens which are surrounded by mature shrubs.  A wooden archway leads to the swimming pool, which has a child-safe security fence and roman steps at one end.  The pool measures 10x4m and at its deepest point is 2m. In the 7 acre grounds at Chenevaux there is also a newly renovated shady outdoor terrace and barbeque area, croquet lawn, boules, a 9 tee pitch and putt course and Mark's art studio where he offers classes, and you can see his ceramics and paintings.  We will do all we can ( without getting in your way! ) to make sure that you enjoy your stay at Chenevaux whether you wish to explore the area and everything it has to offer or prefer to relax in the garden & grounds.

Sitting room

The gite has comfortable, family friendly, accommodation for up to 5 and a baby (a cot and other baby equipment is available).  To the right of the front door there is a spacious sitting room with two sofas and two armchairs, there is a  TV ( all English free to view channels ), and a CD player.  A big bookcase houses lots of paperbacks and games and there are toys for small children.  To the left of the front door there is a dining area with a large table and then the kitchen, which is very well equipped. There is a log burner in the old fireplace and heating throughout for the cooler months. The beamed ceilings are very high so no need to worry about head height!

Upstairs there are two very good sized bedrooms and a bathroom with shower.  The larger bedroom looks out towards the pool.  It has a double bed. The second bedroom looks out towards the fields and has 2 single beds. A cot and other baby equipment are available.

Bedroom with double bed and single

Twin bedroom - the third single from the other bedroom can be put in here, please ask.

Chenevaux is on a private, no through road and our 7 acres of grounds are surrounded by fields and trees.  It is quiet and tranquil and the prefect place to relax and unwind!  We live on site and will be here to give you a warm welcome on your arrival and offer help and advice during your holiday.

"Wow!  We have had a truly wonderful week!  Thank you Caroline and Mark for everything.  We have explored all the local villages as newcomers to this part of France and loved it all.  DB pizza in St Savin ( on the corner ) got a big thumbs up!  Without question the highlight of the week was our pottery session with Mark  (we are total beginners). We created pieces we will terasure and remind us of very happy memories here.  Thank you.  Weather V V hot, pool fab, we will be back i'm sure."
