Cottage holiday rentals in Cognac

Recommended hosts, very well hosted at Valerie's. very nice accommodation, well-equipped with beautiful furniture, you won't want for anything. We had a lovely weekend with the family, thank you!

We booked Maddy‘s place very last minute. She was very amicable and got the place ready quickly for us! The upstairs mezzanine was perfect t for ours kids. Maddy and her family were so friendly and helpful. We would definitely visit again if we’re passing through. The house was perfect for two adults three children and a dog. Our children are aged 8, 10 and 12 and we enjoyed cycling out to the local town and playing by the swimming pool. The kids loved feeding the goat, there were chickens too. They loved the owners dog too! We visited Royan, it’s approx 30 minutes drive. I would throughly recommend this place!

Louise and Mickael hosted us very well, with a bottle of white wine and cold beers! Very much appreciated! We had a pleasant week's vacation at Moulin Chaillou. We were able to enjoy the pool, which the children loved (4 years and 1 year). All shops are nearby, the beach is 45 minutes away, as well as the aquarium, etc. If needed, don't hesitate, Louise and Mickael are there to meet your needs.

Almost don’t want to say how lovely, as will make it more competitive to book to go back! In a word - glorious! - The gite, gardens and grounds and pool are kept beautifully. Gite was spotless and very well equipped (including lots of goodies on arrival, garden games to use there - kids were very happy - charcoal ready for the bbq etc), huge comfortable beds, and wood fired hot tub to sit and look at the stars. - Stunning surrounding views (endless fields of sunflowers) and lovely shady woods to be walk. - Lots of pretty villages - particularly Aubeterre with its central square and river beach worth the short drive (under 20 mins). We also loved the big river beach at St Aulaye (c.40 mins). - Meg and Mark are kind, fun and knowledgeable hosts who were perfect balance of around and incredibly helpful - but very much left us to just relax and enjoy the gite/pool as our own. - Shopping v easy at local supermarkets, various markets and nearby village shop/butchers. Thank you!!

Thank you for your hospitality and kindness, we enjoyed the pool, the hot tub and the different amenities. The large garden is lovely.

Great for a short stay in a beautiful part of France! The host instructions re. local amenities and activities are super helpful given the relatively remote location.

A unique and endearing holiday village for young and old.

Virginia is a very welcoming host and available for any requests. the accommodation matched the photos and very quiet.. it is very cozy!! the optional breakfast is very hearty. the shared pool and sauna spa area are a plus for this accommodation . ideally placed place to discover the region.. I highly recommend it

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and could easily have stayed longer. The place was perfect, fantastic pool, great countryside and fab location for day trips. Mark and Elaine were the perfect hosts, all in all a great place!

Thank you again very much to Joanna, its cottage is very cozy close to the estuary. Quiet and peaceful. Very nice hosting. We recommend.

We had a great time at Marie Noelle's place! ✨ The space was sparkling clean and matches the photos although they don't show it enough because it's even better and more spacious in real life! The parking space is super convenient and the area is very quiet and charming with some nice little bakeries nearby! Marie Noelle was kind enough to answer all our questions and is very understanding about check-in times! We recommend it! 👌

Thank you Steve and Bianca. You are wonderful hosts; your place is magic in a peaceful location, a real paradise. We hope to return again. Martin and Ilma

We spent three nights at Chris and Barbara’s gite. It is beautiful, well kept and private. Great location. We highly recommend!

A really lovely comfortable gite. Amazing outdoor space including a safe pool with loads to entertain the kids. And lots nearby to do for young and old. We really enjoyed it with our two young ones.

very good hospitality, accommodation as described. excellent bedding, great quiet stay at Sylvie's

The gite itself is beautiful - comfortable, spacious but also delightfully decorated with lots of historical original features on show from the stone wall to the old bakery oven. We travelled with young children who loved seeing all the animals, and Milly's recommendations for food and things to do was spot on. Aubeterre is a really lovely town to stumble around and we had a great day by the lake - there was something for everyone. The boutique on site is also a great stop for souvenirs and presents (or treats) and really handy. We travelled there from Burgundy (also beautiful) which is quite a drive away but we all agreed it was well worth it. Thanks again Milly!

We all had a fantastic week at Le Pible. There are so many things we could say about this beautiful place - the setting was amazing at all times of the day and we loved watching the deer and horses roaming across the fields. The cottage and gite were both well equipped and comfortable and the beautifully presented gite gave us extra space which was much appreciated. On arrival there was a packed welcome tray which was both thoughtful and enjoyed during the week. Without a doubt, the swimming pool was a favourite for us all especially as the week we were staying there was a very hot week. It was immaculately clean and we loved the salt water. Our hosts could not have been more helpful and replied to any questions extremely promptly. We unreservedly recommend Le Pible as a fabulous holiday home and have made many happy memories by staying there.

Graeme and Anne were wonderful hosts, and their accommodation was lovely. We arrived much later than planned due to a delayed flight, but they welcomed us and got us settled in. The holiday started to go right as soon as we arrived. The property is beautiful, in a rural setting, and the photos are very accurate. We would love to stay again.

A great place to stay with the family. There is a lovely pool, sweet play area and the accommodation is well equipped for self catering. Will come back.

Thanks for your help, we had a great stay.

Carol’s place was even better than expected with communication brilliant throughout our stay. Carol made us feel like part of the family for our week away. We would recommend to absolutely anyone looking to have a quiet stay in the Charante area of France. We will be back as soon as possible!

We had a lovely 6 days staying here. Two families, each with two children. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Two doubles and two twins. One double is downstairs and the other is upstairs but up a separate staircase, so separated from the others. We loved the outdoor spaces, especially the front courtyard (and the table tennis). The kids loved the pool and the trampoline and Anna’s very sweet and friendly dog. Absolutely beautiful surroundings and grounds. Lots of spots to eat and sit. Very nice pool area and the pool was refreshing on hot days. There were a few issues with the showers, but Anna was very quick to respond and help sort things out and it didn’t impact on our enjoyment of the house. Overall, we loved it here and would happily return (for longer, hopefully) in the future.

Linda and Claude are truly exceptional hosts! Extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful...! Their cottage is really well located, quiet, with a beautiful view! Everything is well thought out, for adults and children alike. The pool is great as well as the play area! Thanks for everything! We'll be back with pleasure!

We had a fantastic month here. The house is equipped with everything you need. It has an amazing atmosphere. The area is quiet and peaceful, a perfect place to relax. Kate is a very kind and helpful host. I hope we will come back here again. Kate, thank you for your warm welcome, help, conversations over coffee and a wonderful month.
