Lamos Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I am looking for a really special place in the Charentes to book as a treat for someone. It doesn't have to be a hotel but would need to serve a good evening meal.Does anyone have any ideas that they would be prepared to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozza Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 There is a recently renovated XV/XVII century Chateau near St Adjutory (near LaRochefoucauld) that has been done to an exceptionally high standard - French owned and in a beautiful setting - own lake, large grounds etc. Unfortunately, B&B only, but there is a reasonable restaurant in the village and a couple of very good ones in La Rochefoucauld.My parents and my brother and his partner both stayed there this Christmas and really enjoyed it (not adventurous enough to stay with us in the mobile home!!). They even have a suite with a large copper bath!Tel No is 0545 704018Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham & Brenda Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Try the Beau Rivage hotel at Mansle. Lovely view over the river Charente and we've enjoyed each of the many meals we've had there over the last 3 years. http://ldf.reservit.com/reservit/fiche_htl.php?userid=895349d84699744418e61d1cce9b46220050&hotelid=2787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 ...or this one: Le Bruant in St Porchaire. Very good food, only 5 bedrooms, lovely decor and excellent service.http://www.lebruant.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Or get Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay book (B&B in France). It covers all of France and has the most fantastic places to stay, ranging from 30 euros a night to 150 euros per night. We never use anything else when we are travelling.

betoulle Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 www.manoir-la-betoulle.com B&B near St Claud - no evening meals but a short 5min drive to La Grange Aux Oies at Chateau de Nieuil - a very special place to eat & stay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozza Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Meant to mention La Betoulle myself as well - also highly recommended - we had a lovely stay there last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamos Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Thank you all for these recommendations - they look great.In the end we booked the Chateau de L'Yeuse near Cognac and it was a success. The room booking was upgraded to a suite; the view of the Charente was perfect; food excellent and the main reception rooms impressive in high 19th century style. It is also well eqquipped for wheelchair users which surprised me a bit.However I now feel the need to book all of these places you've recommended. I'll start saving. Thank you again.
