The prestige Wooden Lodge is just what the discerning holidaymaker has been waiting for.  Our 60sq metre Cosalt Lautrec Lodge <<Chalet>> is 50% larger than an ordinary mobile home. With full gas central heating and air conditioning, the Lodge can comfortably sleep up to 8 people. You will be able to holiday in style in this 34 x 20 foot  Holiday Lodge, situated on Siblu’s 4* flagship site, Les Charmettes, in La Palmyre, south west France.

 

Having spent the last 25 years holidaying in France, we realise that sometimes you need another holiday to recover from the one you’ve just had. The packing alone can be problematic and perhaps the accommodation you’ve booked lacks the home comforts you are used to. We have always found it strange that most holiday lets in France lack essential kitchen utensils, such as a garlic press or a bottle opener.  Our home is equipped with everything you need for a perfect holiday.  Apart from a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, we also provide an extensive personal library, bikes, golf bags and trolleys, games, boules, books, beach tent, parasol, a picnic table and chairs, picnic rug and even a rucksack to pack your picnic in.

 

Our aim is to provide you with a fantastic holiday experience, in larger than average accommodation, situated on a superb campsite in the Charente Maritime region of France.

 

The Lodge has 3 good sized bedrooms, large lounge, kitchen and dining area, with English sockets throughout.  There is an additional 18 square metres of living space in a fully enclosed side terrace (6 x 3 metres) with table and chairs, and a separate sun deck with sun loungers, sun umbrella and gas BBQ.

 

 

 

           

Please note that pets are not allowed under any circumstances.

 

The large lounge has an LCD TV providing English satellite television, and a DVD / CD player with a selection of DVD’s.  The dining area has a table with six chairs with cushions and a child’s highchair.

 

The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, gas cooker with electric grill, fridge freezer, microwave, slow cooker, steamer, electric kettle and toaster. As this is our holiday home, you will find a vast array of crockery and kitchen utensils, from whisks and weighing scales, to oyster openers and crab picks.

 

 

                           

 

 

The bathroom has a full size bath with a thermostatically controlled shower over, WC, and vanity unit.

 

Accessible from the side patio door is an additional 18 square metres of living space.  This fully enclosed side terrace (6 x 3 metres) allows you to enjoy outside living whatever the weather. The three sides can be rolled up when it is hot or leave them down to protect you from the elements during any rainy spells. The terrace is furnished with a large dining table and seating for eight with comfortable chair cushions and two small side tables for your drinks. There is a small kitchen area with a George Foreman health grill with griddle, an electric oven, large toaster and a coffee machine - perfect for your outside holiday breakfasts. You will also find here a tumble dryer, a 12v cool box and a chest containing beach equipment and family games.  

 

There is a separate two tier sun deck at the rear with 2 sun loungers, sun umbrella and gas BBQ. 

 

Three bikes (2 gent’s and 1 ladies) are parked at the side of the Lodge and parking is available for 2 cars to the front.

 

 

 

Separate cloak room with WC and washbasin.

 

 

The double bedroom is fitted with wardrobes, bedside tables and dressing table with hairdryer.  The two twin bedrooms are both fitted with wardrobes and bedside tables.  The beds in both of these rooms can be pushed together to make doubles. For additional sleeping space the sofa in the lounge area converts to a double bed. 

 

In the hall you will find a utility cupboard with iron and ironing board, vacuum cleaner, brooms, mops and buckets and many cleaning materials. Bin bags, dusters, dishcloths, dishwasher tablets and washing machine detergent are all provided.  There are two clothes airers and pegs.

 

 

Floor Plan

 

As we are constantly updating our facilities, you may find improvements on your arrival that are not represented in the above photographs.

 

Although we do NOT provide sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers or towels, we do realise how much you have to pack into your car for your holidays.  Therefore, we have tried to supply all the necessary items that usually take up so much room.  We have an extensive personal library, a selection of board and card games, a set of ‘real’ boules, badminton rackets, picnic chairs and small folding table, beach tent, parasol, fishing rods, and a ladies and two gent’s bike.  

 

If you are golfers like we are, we have even provided two golf bags and two trolleys; all you have to do is bring your own clubs and balls.  There are two fabulous golf courses nearby. 10 minutes drive away is the newly opened 9 hole links course running alongside the beach at La Palmyre, and 5 minutes further on, just outside St Palais, is the beautiful Golf de Royan complex, with its challenging 18 hole course and 6 hole compact course.

Hints and Tips For Travelling to Les Charmettes

 

If using a Sat Nav, Les Charmettes is located at Rue De Monplaisir – D141E1

Avenue De La Palmyre, 17570 Les Mathes

 

If travelling from Calais we advise the A16, A28 route which goes near Rouen and Le Mans thus totally avoiding Paris

 

If travelling from St Malo or Caen once you have left the A83 motorway and are on the D137 it is advisable to avoid Marans, due to large traffic jams and very long delays. To do so, just before you enter the town of Moreilles turn right at the large new roundabout onto the D10a, signposted Puyravault,  and follow directions to La Rochelle and then follow signs for

 Rochefort – Les Mathes - La Tremblade.  (If your SatNav doesn’t instantly recognise this route it will soon pick it up).
