Rural peaceful house close to beach, golf and shops. House sleeps 7/9.

Lovely, characterful house in a beautiful location amidst vineyards and sunflower fields. The house is very well equipped and gives easy access to the nearby towns, shops and beaches. Kids loved the 'princess' bedroom upstairs. The highlight for us was the garden - very large with lots of trees to give us some shade on the very hot days we had. Kids loved the swing and the hammocks and there was plenty of room for playing games. Would certainly recommend.

The gite is well situated for all the local amenities of south west France- from La Rochelle to Royan, Jonzac, cognac, Talmont etc etc. The home is a couple of miles from Cozes which has a good supermarket and a Wednesday morning market. It has one bar and a small shop and ATM facilities. The gite itself has a large rear garden and all the usual facilities. Parking is not great. There are good cooking facilities, downstairs and upstairs toilets and bathing facilities- very good shower on ground floor- although we found limited hot water in the evening. Furnishings were satisfactory for a gite. French TV and DVD. Collection of English language books. Main problem for us was lack of wifi but for some that might be an advantage. We had a very enjoyable two week holiday and the gite delivered in respect of all the essentials needed.

Homely and comfortable gite. Lovely quiet setting. Great for the children particularly nice big garden to play in. So much to do nearby we didn't get to it all, we definitely need to come back. Great beaches, gorgeous villages to visit. Candlelit Talmont on a Tuesday night was lovely. Good supermarket nearby. Our first visit to France and we're hooked!
