Inside, a grand cathedral ceiling, outside, wisteria-covered terrace and pretty pool. Atlantic sands, Cognac and La Rochelle are in reach

Read guest comments

The smell of honeysuckle as you swim in the pool, a glimpse through the orchard to the vineyards beyond, a spin in the château-dotted countryside in a gleaming Morgan 4/4. What more? A welcome basket of homemade jam and Bordeaux, sweeping gardens with badminton and boules, fresh baguette deliveries. And friendly British owners who welcome families, can make breakfast and special dinners, and offer classic car tours. For this quiet hamlet – near Cognac, La Rochelle, the Atlantic beaches – sits in inspiring scenery. These two holiday cottages, set within the grounds of a former Cognac Domaine, are all very homely and British behind their stone walls and sky-blue shutters: checked fabrics, pine furniture, excellent kitchens, good reading lamps, books, games, DVDs. Plump down in Rose Cottage on leather sofas under a cathedral ceiling; sleep beneath beams on super comfortable beds. Drift out to your wisteria-covered terrace – overlooking the lily pond on one side, opening to your own walled garden on the other – then take a dip in that heated pool, shared by both cottages. Or do as the cats do and stretch out for a snooze.

  • Reserve a 3 or 4 course dinner with wine on the first night of your stay, to be served in your cottage or under the stars in your private garden. Put the children to bed, light the candles and just sit back and relax
  • Enjoy that 'wind in the hair' experience with a complimentary ride through the vineyards in an iconic Morgan sports car, or, if you wish, you can hire a 4 seater Morgan during your stay.
  • Recharge your batteries with a 3-5 night B&B mini break which includes: welcome aperitif & 4 course gourmet dinner with wine served in the Manor House, breakfast delivered to your cottage each morning & a tour in the Morgan to a major Cognac House.
  • Follow prepared scenic routes to explore the beautiful countryside, chateaux & coast with recommended lunch stops and enjoy the many markets, fetes and festivals held in the area, such as the Blues Passions at Cognac and the Violins sur Sable, Royan.
  • Conveniently located for Cognac, Bordeaux, La Rochelle and the chic Il de Re. The resident owners are always happy to arrange private visits for Cognac, Pineau and wine tastings, guided tours of chateaux and river cruises.
  • Bespoke classic car tours organised for small groups of enthusiasts, a speciality. Don't miss the Circuit des Remparts classic race meeting at Angouleme.

"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."

"We went over to France for the Circuit des Remparts classic car racing event in Angouleme and stayed at La Rose Des Vents for a week. Lyn and Graeme are great car enthusiasts and took care off all arrangements as well as organising trips to Cognac houses as a part of our package. We had a great time, organisation was excellent, the cottage was well appointed, gardens and the pool are really lovely and all very private. Lyn and Graeme could not have been more helpful and their knowledge of the area having lived there a while was really helpful. We had a great time."

"Stayed at Rose Cottage for the Rallye des Charentes which I would highly recommend. Lyn and Graham Peek made us very welcome and id everything possible to make our week memorable."

Gerard - Weybridge, United Kingdom

"We had a fantastic time at this idyllic hideaway, lots of lazy days spent by the heated pool, great day trips to the nearby towns and beautiful beaches, and the fantastic bonus of a ride in one of the Morgans through the surrounding countryside and vineyards. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts Lynne and Graham who were always on hand with restaurant recommendations or ideas for nearby days out when the weather wasn't ideal. Our two boys had plenty of room to explore and we had plenty of time to relax, the perfect family holiday!"

"Had a wonderful two week stay at La Rose des Vents. A perfect place to get away from it all, in complete comfort. The pool area was fantastic - there was always a choice of sun or shade available throughout the day; the house was well equipped and has great privacy. Lyn and Graham were lovely hosts and their welcome dinner was a perfect antidote to the six hour drive from Cherbourg. Eric's bread van came to supply us with fresh bread and croissants each morning "sauf le mercredi et le dimanche" and I enjoyed runs and walks on the local paths through vineyards and sunflowers. Truly lovely."

"We had a truly relaxing stay at Rose Cottage with our two children aged three and five. The Peek's have created a French country idyll and their gardens and swimming pool are stunning. Having helpful hosts on the grounds who spoke English and could recommend places of interest for our one week holiday was invaluable. There is so much to do for children, a car is vital though. The icing on the cake was the ride in the open-top Morgan - one fantastic memory none of us will ever forget. Highly recommended for families of all ages and/or couples who want a quiet getaway. "

"We stayed in Rose Cottage everything was perfect. Our hosts were superb as was our evening meal and the delightful scenic routes they provided. We will certainly return for a longer stay."

"Every care & consideration by the hosts, Lynn & Graham, is shown for your stay in their beautifully appointed cottages. Fresh breakfast delivered each morning and a valuable wealth of information of tours, interesting places to visit and local history. A must come again place with the personal touch that makes it so special."

"We have just returned from our third holiday in this beautiful cottage. The garden and pool area is so relaxing and the cottage itself has everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Everything is spotless and of good quality. A trip out in the Morgan is the "icing on the cake" for our family. The surrounding area has lots of interest, and Cognac is a fascinating place to explore. We are looking forward to spending another holiday here in the future."

"We had a lovely time in Rose Cottage. The welcome and accommodation exceeded our expectations. The breakfast trays were well presented and the meals and accommodation excellent. The attention to detail to ensure that we enjoyed our stay was excellent throughout and we would most certainly repeat our holiday there."
septiembre 2012
"Our hosts were very welcoming, informative and easily accessible. The cottage was spotless with clean crisp sheets and lots of fluffy towels. Large peaceful secluded garden with our own private area, and of course the lovely, shared heated swimming pool. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality appliances and all the basic foods. The open plan staircase could be difficult with young children. A good base for easy driving to many places of interest - or just chill out in the garden. A wonderful cottage, we would definately go again"

"What a wonderful retreat for us, so quiet and Lyn and Graham were fantastic, very helpful and Rose Cottage was a delight, everything we could wish for I would love to return. Well done you two!"
septiembre 2012
"A real gem of a cottage with wonderful hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble. The cottage facilities were excellent and spotlessly clean and much time was spent relaxing around the lovely heated pool. There was lots to see and do in the area including La Rochelle, Royan, the beautiful Ile de Re and of course Cognac is right on the door step. A highlight to the stay was a trip around the vineyards in the owners Morgans. A truly memorable holiday and we look forward to returning again very soon."
agosto 2012
"Highly recommend this beautifully presented, welcoming Cottage. Accommodation had a lovely French feel and had all the equipment and facilities that you need home from home! Lyn and Graham made us very welcome and suggested local events for us to visit in the local area. To get to the pool you pass through a Secret Garden Door; the pool is an excellent size with plently of furniture.......and heated too; set in the surroundings of fruit trees. Our two children ages 10 & 12 had a brilliant time and we would highly recommend it for families as well as couples."
