Maison de Campagne pieds dans l'eau 8 couchages, 4 chambres, proche Cognac

I would highly recommend this property as a holiday destination. It is the perfect location to relax in a peaceful and tranquil environment at the rivers edge. Sit with a morning coffee by the river and watch Kingfishers, heron, grebe and cormorant busily fishing on the river. Perfect. There is an easy bicycle path that leads to Jarnac and beyond that is perfect to walk or cycle by the river and have a little activity. Our hosts, Allie & Brian made our stay comfortable and stress free and are very easy to talk to. My wife enjoyed the extra beauty treatments provided by Allie, whilst the boys and I enjoyed fishing, Kayaking and cycling. There is lots to see and do around this area including visits to Jarnac, Cognac and the surrounding villages. We enjoyed visiting the independent Pineau de Charente/Cognac distillers in the area, as well as a super visit to the Le Tuffre chocolate factory where we had an afternoon making (and eating) chocolate. All in all we would highly recommend a stay here and would not hesitate to return or lets friends & family know about this little piece of heaven in the Charentaise countryside.

Very clean and comfortable gîte. The owners are very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Great location if you are looking for peace and tranquility. Great walks, possible to cycle or kayak. We took our dog who was also made very welcome.

We had 11 days here with our 2 dogs. Alison and Brian were great hosts and had paid attention to every little detail to give us a fantastic stay. Well equipped and layed out to enable us to simply enjoy lazing around or getting out and about. The location was brilliant with great walks and places to visit. Try Montignac-Charente for a great day by the river for families and dogs. We loved the on site kayaks and made great use of them. We were delighted to be invited to dinner by our hosts and we could almost become vegan ... well nearly perhaps 😁 If you want stay here BOOK EARLY! It’s very popular and with good reason. Thank you Alison and Brian (and Ayan and Humphrey)

We had a wonderful stay in this pretty cottage. It has direct access to the river and kayaks and we visited beautiful secret swimming spots. Also pretty local villages and Cognac nearby with excellent restaurants. Ally and Brian were very helpful, making table reservations for us and recommending sights. I also enjoyed lovely runs with Ally! We look forward to returning.

We (2 adults and 2 children) have spent a lovely week at the riverside cottage. It is a peaceful spot but close to supermarkets, restaurants and towns. We particularly enjoyed the kayaks and local river beaches with the kids. Thanks Brian, Allie and Ayan

We had a lovely week in this comfortable and charming gite. The children had hours of fun in the splash pool and we enjoyed several meals overlooking the Charente. We all had fun exploring the Charente with the kayaks provided. The location is great - so peaceful yet close to many interesting places and loads to do. Allie and Brian were very friendly and helpful hosts.

We had the pleasure of staying in the gite for one week with our 8 and 4 yr old sons, we had an amazing time and thoroughly recommend staying there. The gite is beautifully furnished and very comfortable to spend a week in, its obviously located on the river and we spent most evenings sitting admiring the views. There are plenty of Kingfishers flying around, fish and swans to feed whilst drinking the local produce! Its only about 5 minutes from Jarnac which we loved and spent a couple of afternoons playing in the river and enjoying the sunshine. The hosts, Allie and Brian, are amazing and so friendly and are always around if you need any advice or help...the kids also loved playing with their little dog Ayaan and he is a right charmer. If you are looking for some peace and relaxation then this is your place, you won't be disappointed.

Super for peace and quiet. Owners Allie and Brian were extremely kind and helpful, well beyond what you might expect. We decided to do without a car for the week and would have had to reverse that decision if it were not for Brian kindly taking us to a supermarket on two occasions. Allie also offers a variety of treatments such as reflexology and massage, which my wife enjoyed. Village of Bassac is a mile away with a nice boulangerie and two staggeringly good, but not staggeringly expensive, restaurants. A quite different, but very relaxing holiday.
