Logis de la Prise - Self-catering cottage in Charente-Maritime
Propriété de La Prise, 17330 Doeuil sur le Mignon, Charente-Maritime
Poitou - Charentes,
Francia
Deep in the glorious countryside of the Charente-Maritime lie seven woody acres steeped in history and beauty. Owners Seb and Lucy swapped city life for this much-loved domaine with its 18th-century château, and have masterminded an immaculate restoration of Le Logis (originally built as the gardien’s lodge) and the slightly larger La Maison with its own pool. Le Logis is an uplifting fusion of old and new with chunky beams, stone fireplaces, an open-plan kitchen and sitting room walled with original Charentais stone, tall ceilings and six elegant windows that fill the space with natural light. Upstairs find two double bedrooms (one en suite) and chic bathrooms too. Dine outside on one of your two terraces; relax in your share of the formal gardens – stroll among the topiary! Reach the dreamy canals of the Marais Poitevin in 40 minutes or La Rochelle and the sandy beaches of the Atlantic in under an hour. The thrice-weekly market of Surgères is a 15-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Lucy Hepplewhite:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Lucy Hepplewhite:
- We are rural, but only a short drive to our local boulangerie, market, bars and restaurants. We benefit from access to all the amenities but also have the absolute peace and tranquility provided by the french countryside.
- We are very fortunate to offer our guests complete privacy as the properties are totally separate from the main house and designed to ensure you are truly able to 'get away from it all' without the worry of neighbours or other guests.
- We are approximately 45 minutes from La Rochelle and a number or other coastal towns such as Fouras and the popular Chatelaillon Plage. A little further away are the islands of Ré and Oleron, both beautiful, as are our nearest towns of Niort and Surgères.
- With our own additions of a full size croquet lawn, young orchard, rose garden and lots of other planting the Logis is a wonderful place to spend the summer.
- Our neighbouring land and buildings is where you will find la Maison. The farmhouse sits on another 3 acres surrounded by lots of traditional old outbuildings, a courtyard, lawns, fruit trees, raised beds, large gateposts and huge open sided barn or préau.
- Our aim has always been to provide charming, luxury and private self-catering accommodation for guests, providing them with a great place to stay whilst they explore everything this wonderful region has to offer.
