La
Charouffie Farmhouse bed and breakfast / Chambres d'hotes
On the edge
of Riberac, the Farmhouse dates back to the 19th century but has
been extended in the early 20th century. It has all the benefits
of modern conveniences but retains much of its elegant charm. A
walnut staircase, oak floors and traditional fireplaces are some
of the many original features which give La Charouffie it's character
to provide superb accommodation for a relaxing stay.
Set in two acres
of grounds La Charouffie has plenty of space for the children to
let off steam, play table tennis, badminton or boules. You may want
to just sit and watch the wildlife that visits the garden. We have
a great variety that visit us, from buzzards to blackbirds, hoopoes
to hedgehogs, barn owls to bats if your lucky!
In the summer why not have breakfast in the garden or by the side
of the pool?
Relax
and enjoy the
extensive grounds.

Breakfast
Breakfast
is included in the price, being a continental affaire of
croissants, cereals, fruit juice, tea or coffee for you
to enjoy. There are two traditional French tables seating
4 each, but both can extend to seat more if necessary. With
oak floor, large traditional fireplace and built in oak
bookcase, this room has windows to both front and rear gardens
making it very bright and airy. It forms part of the original
building and probably dates back several centuries.
Here's Meghan who loves to play with our guests, but we have
to make sure she doesn't end up in anyone's suitcase when they
leave!
