Getting around the area
Our sanctuary is located amongst the hills of the Charente Limousine. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet time, hike, bike and relax. Less than 20 minutes from us: Lakes of Haute Charente; Natural Park of Périgord-Limousin, International Golf of la Prèze, La Rochefoucauld castle and a charming town with, Rochechouard castle wich includes a major collection of contemporary art. 35/45mn away, Angoulême. A car is essential as we are in the middle of the countryside. On the farm, you can walk between the fields, observe the animals - without disturbing them - take a guided tour to learn more about them, or relax in our tree-filled garden.

About This Space
A closer look at the stay
About
L’Autre Ferme (The Other Farm) is a non-profit sanctuary for animals rescued from industrial livestock farms. It is currently home to over sixty animals. We are committed to the protection of the surrounding wildlife. Proof that our environment is healthy and unpolluted, swallows have nested in the old bread oven building; skylarks, redstarts and chickadees enchant our days, and owls our nights. We offer a plant-based Bed & Breakfast with three comfortable bedrooms, located in the main building, in the middle of the sanctuary. A vegan "table d'hôtes" is available upon request. All our revenues go cover the needs of the animals.
The space
The three bedrooms are located on the second floor of a recently renovated 17th century building. Their cozy minimalism is conducive to relaxation and reflection. The rooms are well separated from each other, with no one above nor below. They are equipped with brand-new, eco-friendly, Made in France bedding, linen sheets and vintage furniture. A spacious bathroom situated on the first floor is shared by the guests. It offers an Italian shower and individual closets. There are two separate toilets, one on the ground floor and one upstairs. Crib upon request. You will have access to the 1000 sq meters garden with deck chairs and garden tables.
The kitchen
Our homemade breakfast is 100% plant-based. It is self-service, so that you can sleep in, or wake up at dawn to enjoy the sunrise! A generous open kitchen and living room host a farmhouse table, comfortable armchairs and … a tuned 1883 Pleyel piano. Our table d’hôtes (meals upon request) is available for dinner only. It must be reserved at the same time with your rooms. We use local, organic and seasonal products as much as possible. Guests are not allowed to use the kitchen, except to reheat baby food. Complimentary tea, herbal tea, filtered water are available.
Other things to note
A dog and 2 cats live with us in the house. They are not allowed in your room. Your companion animal is welcome if neutered and vaccinated. He/she must remain under your surpervision at all times. Keep in mind our chickens are free roaming in the garden. We want them to be safe !
