The Château St-Seurin de Clerbise estate, dating from the 17th century and set on a wooded estate in the heart of the Charente Maritime countryside, provides an ideal location for walking, cycling, golf, and for families or larger groups to enjoy a self catering holiday

With the Airports of Bordeaux and La Rochelle 90km to the south and north-west respectively, and Saintes and Cognac only 25km to the north and north-east, we are ideally located to explore and enjoy this unique, warm, sunny region of Western France.

Each house has its own private pool, enjoying a high degree of privacy, together with bbq and patio furniture, and all have the benefit of linen, house towels, utilities, cots and highchairs included in the rental. Bike hire is available. And, to take some of the self out of self catering, we can offer maid, chef and babysitting service throughout. Central heating is available in all houses for low season letting.

The houses can be let separately or together as a unit to provide accommodation from 10 to 38 people.

We are also able to offer marriage blessings in the unique setting of our 13th century church set within the grounds. Out of season corporate events can also be catered for.
