Schönes Ferienhaus im Herzen der Landschaft von Cognac

Lage:

Haus mit herrlichem Blumen- und Gemüse-Garten mit alten Bäumen im angrenzenden idyllischen Waldgrundstück, sehr großzügiger wunderschöner und täglich gepflegter Pool.

Das Appartement:

Frisches geschmackvolles Design in ehrwürdigen Räumen mit

liebevollen bewusst ausgesuchten Details ohne Kitsch. Einrichtung ist dabei sehr bedacht und funktional und gästeorientiert gewählt. Das Schlafzimmer ist sehr ruhig

mit einem schönen antiken großzügigen Bett.

Die Vermieter:

Sehr symphatisch, herzlich und offen (Wir wurden sogar abgeholt).

Lydia und Marc sprechen zudem sehr gut englisch, was sich für uns als absolut vorteilhaft gestaltete, da wir nicht französisch sprechen. Ein großes Plus!

Wir kamen sehr spät an - kein Problem, in unserem Haus stand beim Empfang ein liebevoll gepackter Korb mit allen Zutaten für ein Abendbrot und Frühstück bereit (einschließlich Wein und selbstgemachter Marmelade).

Zudem gab es kleine Hefte mit wertvollen Tipps für Ausflüge und zur Umgebung

(Viel besser als unaktuelle vergilbte Prospekte - Großes Lob!

Aufgrund der äußerst gastfreundlichen aufmerksamen Vermieter hatten wir hier eine sehr schöne Urlaubszeit. Lieben Dank Lydia und Marc – macht weiter so! Danke auch Milli! (Lydia und Marcs sehr gut erzogener lieber Hund soll nicht unerwähnt bleiben).

Fewo und Vermieter sind aus unserer Sicht absolut empfehlenswert.

We were at Mark and Lydia's for a week. It is simply the best place we've stayed and their hospitality was unbelievable. We cannot rate this stay highly enough. The ability to totally relaxed is unmatched.

Lydia helped book a couple of things for us, which was a massive help and the recommendations we got from Mark and Lydia were first class. Thank you both.

Two fantastic weeks spent at Mark & Lydia's immaculate gite. Very tastefully decorated and furnished to an extremely high standard throughout - from the superb comfortable bed, walk-in shower, his/hers sinks, to the kitchen with everything for the keen cook, including sharp knives!

The pool area was an important part of our rental decision and it didn't disappoint! On hot days it was blissful. It is very private with ample sun lounger space at one end and at the other end, sofa seating, large dining table and a plancha for cooking al fresco.

The surrounding area is perfect for exploring by bike - they very kindly provided storage for our bikes - the roads are almost empty and the Charente river track is a short distance away. Cognac, Jarnac and beyond are all within easy reach and the river track is absolutely stunning.

Kayaking on the river was especially rewarding, with plenty of kingfishers and other wildlife to be seen. The area is not teeming with tourists and everything felt very laid-back and nowhere was crowded.

In conclusion, the holiday exceeded our expectations in respect of the gite, the surrounding area and our helpful, discrete, entertaining neighbours Mark & Lydia!

What a wonderful find in the heart of the cognac region. Not only was the gite well appointed and beautifully refurbished, the swimming pool area inviting and immaculate, the grounds extensive and delightful but Lydia and Mark must rate amongst the best of hosts. We were made to feel not only welcomed but a bit spoiled, with thoughtful and personal items in both fridge and hamper, an arrival drink at the pool and helpful suggestions and information about activities and the region throughout the week. Altogether a delightful and restful place to spend time and to enjoy the thoughtfully planned grounds and wildlife as well as the picturesque local countryside. A rare treat, we would return in a heartbeat!

Lydia & Mark were very good hosts, everything about the property from the gite to the grounds is kept beautifully. The pool area was delightful & such a privilege to have it to ourselves. The “welcome pack” was very well thought out. The only problem is, it’s rather spoilt us for future gite rentals!
