The Experience

Perfect for families: an old cottage which is one of two properties set in two and a half acres of gated grounds of a former Cognac Domaine, surrounding the owners’ Charentais manor house. The good-sized heated pool, set in the orchard overlooking the vineyards, is just for you, along with your own terrace and courtyard garden with barbecue. Down a narrow driveway lined with shrubs and flowers is Manor Cottage: find a buttery-yellow sitting room with cosy armchairs and sofas, bedrooms that are a mix of old English checks and French toile de Jouy, two pristine shower rooms and a family bathroom downstairs. There’s a generous welcome pack: a bottle of Bordeaux, jams from the orchard, cakes, fresh fruit, coffee. Cooks will be content in the kitchen with its modern layout and white crockery, and plenty of space in the living room means you can eat at a table here or outside in good weather. Your kind host is there if you need her and can give advice on vineyards to visit. Deeply relaxing.

Reviews

Roger

Could a holiday be more refreshing? The house was spacious and well appointed, both inside and out; the pool was a decent size and very clean. The Cognac region was interesting, with plenty of rustic charm, local markets, and easy routes to the coast. Our hosts were helpful and available, with great suggestions for activities and places to eat, but left us to do our own thing. The trip round the lanes in the Morgan was a genuine bonus!


Sara

We had a wonderful stay at La Rose des Vents. The cottages were lovely (we rented both) and very well equipped and Graham and Lyn were so helpful recommending drives, places to visit and restaurants in this beautiful area of France. Perfect!


Karen

We had a wonderful week at Manor Cottage in August. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped . Lyn and Graham are perfect hosts and the welcome pack was super - especially the damson jam ! We ordered dinner on our first night which was delicious. We all enjoyed the tour in the Morgan. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

When you find the perfect spot it's impossible to find anywhere else and that is what Manor Cottage is for us. In July 2014 we spent another 2 weeks in this delightful cottage for the third year in succession, so something must be right. The cottage is comfortably furnished with quality items. The accommodation and everything in it is first class. A choice of outside private seating area is wonderful, sun or shade, the choice is yours. Lyn and Graham are the perfect hosts where nothing is left to chance . See you next year Lyn and Graham.


Edward

Four of us from New Zealand stayed at Manor Cottage for seven days. We loved the cottage and the fact that we had our own private courtyard where we could enjoy the wonderful wine and food that we had purchased during our day trips around the beautiful countryside. Lyn & Graham couldn't do enough for us and are wonderful hosts. We followed their devised scenic routes which were perfect, taking us to all sorts of places we didn't know existed. The gardens are beautiful and the pool perfect after a hot day sightseeing. A perfect stay.
