La Rose des Vents - Manor Cottage

We had a wonderful stay in Manor Cottage, part of Lyn and Graham’s delightful Rose des Vents property (formerly a cognac estate). The cottage is well-furnished and comfortable, as well as very private. An excellent location for exploring the old towns of the Charentes: Angoulême, Cognac, Saintes. The market in St-Jean-d’Angély is wonderful for fresh food, and there is a large new Intermarché supermarket in Matha, just five minutes’ drive away.

Wonderful stay, Lyn and Graham perfect hosts. Our cottage was well equipped and beautiful. Loved the pool, suggestions for day trips and the fun ride in the Morgan. Best holiday!!! Thank you!!

Not knowing what to expect, this was truly delightful. The cottage was spacious, clean and private. Lyn and Graham are amazing hosts. The welcome evening meal was delicious and breakfasts fabulous. Lyn gave us ideas of routes that we might like to use as we didn’t know the area at all. Each route was great. Brilliant suggestions for meals out too and we managed a classic car meet at the local cognac museum as well which was interesting. The food throughout the holiday was sublime. This was a thoroughly relaxing, interesting and friendly holiday. Definitely recommend anyone to book.

Fabulous! The hospitality was superb, never before had the opportunity to have superb dinner with our hosts. The Morgan car was such fun; loved exploring the countryside. A private tour of a Cognac cave was a highlight. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, especially if you want to treat yourself to driving a Morgan!

Stayed in Manor Cottage for a week. The cottage was of an exceptionally high standard and beautifully presented. It had everything one needed for a perfect holiday. Hosts, Lyn & Graham were so helpful without being intrusive. Will not hesitate to return.
