Welcome meal on arrival was brilliant

By Richard on 20-Aug-2023

We loved our stay - the cottage is very well equipped, including all the essentials, and great garden furniture/sun shade and bbq. Lyn and Graham are brilliant hosts, attentive when necessary, but otherwise leaving you to make your own way, helping you with with a folder crammed with places to see and things to do including route maps . The Pool is fantastic, and the private space around the building makes for a very relaxing stay, and also with secure parking. The welcome meal that Lyn offers on arrival was brilliant. We all enjoyed our stay immensely, very happy to recommend to others.

A very relaxing week

By Katherine on 07-Jul-2023

We had a very relaxing week at Rose Cottage as a family of five. We loved the beautiful gardens and the swimming pool surrounded by fruit trees. The surrounding countryside is quiet, open and flat - good for bicycling with the kids. Lyn and Graham were very welcoming and we enjoyed Lyn’s cooking on the first evening very much. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Wonderful Stay!

By Cheryl & Steve, Lymington on 24-Sep-2022

We had a wonderful stay in Rose Cottage for the Circuit des Remparts. Many thanks to Lyn & Graham for all their wonderful organisation & hospitality in making this a very special trip.

Definitely Recommend!

By Sarah, Mheer on 27-Aug-2022

We very much enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage. The cottage itself is welcoming, nicely furnished and well stocked with a lovely outdoor eating area. In the heat we had this year it was wonderful to be able to cool off in the pool. Lyn and Graham were lovely and friendly hosts and gave us plenty of tips and recommendations. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Rose Cottage

By Fiona, London on 25-Jun-2022

We loved our stay at Rose Cottage which was beautiful. The cottage is extremely well equipped and the swimming pool is a lovely asset, set in a large gated garden for safety. The hosts were so welcoming and made our stay extra special. We will definitely be back!

Escape from it All

By Giles, Bath on 25-Jul-2020

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. ________________________________________
