La Rose des Vents - Rose Cottage

A wonderful escape from it all. Rose Cottage is a characterful place and Lyn and Graham really helped to make our stay with tips for things to do (and delicious apricot jam). We loved the chance to eat all meals outside and the stunning pool was a great spot to relax after days exploring the Cognac area. The Charente is not an area massively frequented by tourists and we were able to enjoy days out in Cognac (excellent tour of the castle and Baron Otard cognac House), Rochefort (surprisingly interesting rope factory), Jarnac (electric biking, kayaking and beautiful golf course) and Saintes.

Had a fabulous week at rose cottage , Lynn & Graham made us feel very welcome, cottage was clean & well equipped with all you need for your stay . Plenty of fresh towels . Lovely garden areas & pool was fabulous . Would definitely recommend.

Lyn and Graham were extremely welcoming and helpful hosts - and we had a fun ride in the Morgan! The cottage was very well equipped in pretty grounds - we particularly enjoyed relaxing by the sparkling pool. We also enjoyed meals out in Cognac (20 mins drive away), drove to Royan/St Georges de Didonne (60 mins drive) and particularly loved Ile de Re (1.5hr drive).

We recently returned from a two week holiday, staying in Rose Cottage. We cannot recommend the accommodation highly enough. Both Rose and Manor Cottages are set in the most picturesque gardens and share a lovely outdoor pool and sun area. Rose Cottage proved to be a very comfortable and well equipped place to stay. From the décor to the quality of the sheets and towels, everything is done to the highest standards. There is SO much to do in this area of South West France - you are spoilt for choice. We would return to La Rose des Vents in a heartbeat!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The cottage was immaculate and the swimming pool a great place to chill during the heatwave that we had. The Cognac area has some very scenic drives in our Morgan, and Lyn and Graham were able to advise us on where to visit.
