There are elegant formal gardens in the front with beautiful topiary hedges, whilst the spacious open gardens at the back are perfect for fun or relaxation. All set against the backdrop of the amazing Charente countryside.

In 2020, Le Manoir had a new large outdoor salt filtration swimming pool – 12m x 6m.
Put simply, a saltwater pool is one that has been chlorinated, by means of salt chlorination and not traditional harsh liquid or solid chemical chlorine.
This salt chlorination gives you clean, clear and luxuriously soft water.
The pool has a wide terrace for sun loungers and parasols for soaking up the wonderful Charentaise sun.

There is also a large function room available for retreats, yoga courses, or as a general games room for holiday groups.

We offer the option of catering over part or all of your stay.
