Cognac Retreat

The house is just lovely! Upon arrival when we heard we could extend our stay with 1 wk we immediately did so, it was 3 wks of bliss, the surroundings are very nice, the sea side is beautiful as are Cognac and Angoulême. We spent a lot of time in the garden as the weather was beautiful and when it became very hot there was the pool to cool off. The tomatoes and plums were deliciously as well. John is very helpful, I got bitten by an insect that caused a severe allergic reaction but John assisted us and offered translating at the doctor's should that be necessary. We def recommend this place!!

We have had a really lovely time at the Cognac Retreat. Gorgeous property which is very homely and doesnt feel like a typical holiday let which is nice. Having said that the instruction booklet was spot on.The garden is a gem, the veggies were great and the pool great for a cool off. The wine, jam etc as a gift on arrival was much appreciated. We had everything we needed in the house and the peace and quiet in this hamlet too. Definitely feel refreshed from our stay and would love to come back!

A fantastic home, exactly what was required to relax and feel very comfortable. Our host John was always available in the background as and when required. I could not recommend this accommodation more highly.

Just back from a fantastic 2 weeks at Cognac Retreat (Ty Gwyn). A wonderful house with all the amenities you could ask for when looking for a chilled holiday in the French countryside. Communication with John was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Although in a peaceful location we were not too far from supermarkets and places to visit. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning for another holiday.

The house and garden were just perfect for a week away from the daily hustle nd bustle. Even though the week was very warm, there was always shade to be found in the garden - and we spent most days relaxing there in the afternoon, listening to the birds incl. a Golden Oriole whilst reading. The house itself stayed refreshingly cool. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped so it was easy to prepare simple meals to eat outside. And the welcome gifts were exactly that - welcome. It was a lovely touch - as was the bottle of cold water waiting for us in the fridge. Would heartily recommend.
