Description

La Secharie is one of three gites found at La Tannerie. Perfectly located and just a 5 minute walk away from Chalais, a typical French market town with a hive of activity, bars, shops and restaurants.

Chalais has a lively Monday market every week where you can stroll and purchase local produce and people watch with a coffee and croissant at one of the friendly local cafes.

Overlooking the town is the imposing and beautiful 16th century Chateau de Chalais with its drawbridge, surrounding moat and excellent restaurant definitely worth a visit. There is also a busy train station in the heart of Chalais with local routes to Bordeaux and Angouleme, both with onward connections via TGV.

Situated on the Charente/Dordogne border La Tannerie is approximately an hour away from the beautiful towns of
St Emilion, Bordeaux, Brantome, Blaye and Cognac. There is also a wealth of activities locally for youngsters and teenagers eg river beaches, water parks, go ape and kayaking, making La Tannerie a perfect place for a family holiday.




La Sècherie is a quaint two bedroom gite, with a south facing terrace and alfresco dining – perfect to soak up the beautiful French sunsets.

We had a wonderful time at La Tannerie! So relaxing with our own private garden to spend the warm evenings in... The accommodation was comfortable, equipped with everything we need and spotlessly clean. The pool was just the cherry on the cake! A perfect size and depth...

Two perfect weeks and we could’ve stayed forever. Jenny and Ken we amazing hosts, friendly, helpful and so thoughtful. The gîte was spotless with everything you could possibly need provided, the pool was fabulous and the location unbeatable - right in town close to the necessary supermarkets, bars and boulangeries, whilst still secluded, quiet and loads of space for the kids to run about. Nearby villages with loads of activities for those inclined, and plenty of shops and restaurants for those who aren’t. Just a fantastic holiday. My two boys want to go back every year. Some of our fellow guests had done just that. Rooms: 5/5Service: 5/5Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights Quiet, Child-friendly, Great value

Just back from fabulous stay here with our two boys aged 4 and 1. There are so many details that we really appreciated about the gites that we haven’t always experienced in France, for example multiple tea towels, pool towels included for no extra price, sharp kitchen knives, loads of great quality cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. We were amazed by the generous ‘welcome pack’, my partner so appreciated the cold beer after a 5 hour drive! Jen is a wealth of knowledge and had so many brilliant suggestions for us that we loved. She even booked the local restaurant for my partners birthday for us. They are perfectly set up for young children - our place had a secure garden, brilliant high chair, stair-gate, plastic bowels and plates, and a baby monitor. Jen even lent us a paddling pool to put up near the pool. Jen and Ken are super sweet, with endless patience engaging out very chatty 4 year old in conversation! I think it’s rare to find somewhere with so much beauty and space but just a short walk away from restaurants, shops etc. It was so lovely not to have to get in the car every time we needed something. A very special place. Rooms: 5/5Service: 5/5Location: 5/5

We had the most wonderful holiday at La Tannerie. Positioned in a quiet but well serviced town close to many local attractions. For quieter days, relaxing by the well furnished pool area and outdoor games are a fun alternative. The gites are decorated sympathetically and are complete with all you need to ensure a comfortable stay. Ken and Jennie are the best of hosts and nothing is too much trouble. You won’t go wrong choosing The Tannerie as your next vacation nor indeed returning as we will. Rooms: 5/5Service: 5/5Location: 5/5 Rooms Sympathetically decorated and comfortable.

We had a lovely two week break at La Tannerie during the last two weeks of August. The gites were very well presented and equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Jenny and Ken were very attentive hosts and lovely people, we would happily return here one day. The gites here are really the best we've ever stayed in. Despite being situated within the small town of Chalais, it's really peaceful, no traffic noise at all, but with the bonus of a large supermarket, various restaurants and bars all within a couple of minutes' walk. The pool is lovely, and the area well maintained with sufficient sunbeds for everyone staying there, in fact we sat by the pool happily every day. Highly recommend La Tannerie to anyone looking to holiday in France, for a family or a couple. Thank you,Jenny and Ken hope to stay with you again! Karen, Simon and Toby.
