Montjean House | Renovated barn with private swimming pool on a family run farm in the Charente.

2 Bedroom House in Montjean

La Ferme des Noyers (Walnut Tree Farm) is on the edge of a small peaceful hamlet, close to forest areas and open fields with a lovely view across our valley. The barn was originally used to shelter sheep over the winter period which dates back at least 300 years and is renovated to a high standard. The barn is the ideal accommodation for a couple or a small family with everything you need to enjoy your stay. An ideal environment for children of all ages, a calm and relaxing place for families and couples as well as the option to help on the farm. You will find plenty to do on the farm whether it be relaxing around the swimming pool, feeding and helping with the animals, playing various games including badminton, or table tennis, or maybe just relaxing taking in the tranquil surroundings and listening to the summer birdsong. Just outside the farm is a variety of walk ways through forest and sunflower fields and also cycle routes through the valley and neighbouring villages.

A few words from the owners :
Before having children we spent many of our holidays in France where we fell in love with the Charente countryside, the people and the pace of life. We decided to sell off the family business and took the jump to purchase a small farm in France to live and work the good life. The view of the valley and sunflower fields on the other side of the valley from the kitchen window was what first appealed to us. We love the rolling hills, valleys and forests with its varied wildlife. The French people here are so friendly and will always stop to talk. We live on the edge of a peaceful hamlet, yet only 10 minutes away from two towns, so you get that remoteness feeling as well as the knowledge you are not far from nearby amenities. The farm is located in a valley where we can look down on all the live stock nearly all the time. We have now been here 11 years and are now a young family of 5. Although farming turned out to be a huge learning curve and much more hard work than we could have ever imagined, we are still enjoying the good life. We are so glad we made the move and loom forward to many more happy years here.

Summary: The gite is in a farmstead and is French rustic. Odd little bits not quite right (light switch behind door :)) no bedside lights etc but the Gite owners are lovely people, very helpful. Pool was a treat at 35 degrees and love the Siamese cat. Thanks for having us.

IAN H. May 29, 2022 06:00:02 AM

Summary: Relaxed atmosphere. Easy access to all areas of charente and limousin. Owners very friendly and helpful. Would stay again without a doubt!!!!

Ian S. Dec 2, 2021 10:02:59 PM

Summary: Had a long weekend in the gite whilst house hunting. Lovely and cosy thanks to the constant supply of firewood for the log burner! Hosts couldn’t do enough for us. We’ll be back!

Ian S. Oct 2, 2021 02:41:04 AM

Summary: Well equipped gite, very helpful and friendly hosts (couldn’t do enough for us). We loved being near the farm animals and meeting them and the dogs. Pool available despite being end of season. Rural location so short drive to town / amenities which we didn’t mind. Nice local pub serving good food.

Summary: Very enjoyable experience

Claire H. Feb 25, 2020 01:30:01 AM

Summary: We received a warm welcome and a tour of the gîte on our arrival. Faye was quick to answer any queries we had before arriving and both Faye and Scott were lovely hosts, with nothing too much trouble. The gîte was well equipped and with a good supply of wood, lovely and warm. It’s in a good location with a boulangerie and a restaurant a few minutes away and handy for the N10 and supermarket. We had a look around the small farm - cute lambs, pigs and goats and there’s chickens and ducks around too. We had a walk around the village and stroked the donkeys. The pool wasn’t in use ( we visited to house hunt in February!) but it is right next to the gîte so would be ideal in the warmer months. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Summary: Faye and Scott and the chickens gave us a lovely welcom. The log burner was already on for us warming the Gite up nicely on a cold damp day. The Gite was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our stay. The bed was very comfortable. Plenty of hot water. The Gite is in a very quiet lane but not far from amenities. Could not fault our stay, Faye and Scott were on site if we needed them and ready to give any advice we needed on the area. Fab Gite and fab hosts.

Summary: Faye and Scott are wonderful hosts. The gite had everything you needed for a relaxing holiday. We loved the area and the friendly locals we met. We look forward to coming back again sometime!

JOHAN O. Jul 5, 2019 10:12:14 PM

Summary: Suitable for families with children. Great surroundings and you can interact with the animals and the locals. The pool isn’t a fancy one but great for cooling down on a really hot day!

Janet K. Jan 17, 2019 06:14:42 AM

Summary: We have just spent a week in Faye and Scott's very comfortable barn while we were house-hunting. The property is spacious and well equipped. It has a highly efficient log burner which heats the upstairs too - very useful in January. Amazingly, Scott provided us with wood throughout our stay. Both Faye and Scott are so friendly and helpful, providing us with support and advice on everything locally as well as on house-hunting and the French systems. The price was just amazing. Such good value. The animals are charming and this is a perfect, quiet retreat for families and couples alike.
