Description from owner
Description
Our holiday cottage / gite is situated in Puy Bardon on the edge of the village of Lozay in the Charente-Maritime.
The Charente-Maritime region has a climate second only to the South of France. The micro climate means that we enjoy mild winters and warm, sunny summers making it the ideal holiday destination.
The cottage has two bedrooms with permanent sleeping for four people, however we do provide a double sofa bed downstairs to sleep up to six. If you don't mind sleeping outside there is ample room for a tent(s).
The village is beautiful, peaceful, tranquil and the perfect location to get away from the busy daily life. With only around 150 inhabitants, we are surrounded by corn fields, with a plethora of wildlife including partridges, cuckoos, hares and our four friendly hens Rossi, Lorenzo, Ago and TK.
There are many signed walkways and cycle paths around which pass through the village so it's a perfect location for ramblers and cyclists.
Our location is within 2 minutes drive of the town of Loulay which has a bar / restaurant, post office, newsagent, supermarket, flower shop and two boulangeries as well as a weekly market, outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts. Our nearest large town is St Jean d'Angely (10 minutes by car) in which you will find everything you need with supermarkets that sell all you can get at home and more.
If you wish to spend a day at the seaside then in less than an hour you will be at the beautiful beaches of Royan, Chatelaillon Plage and Ile de Re.
The holiday cottage has its own private access drive and sheltered outdoor eating area with a main living/dining/kitchen area, one double, one twin bedroom, shower room and toilet and access to our beautiful 9m x 4 metre heated pool (shared with owners) which is bathed in sunshine from first thing in the morning to last thing at night.
We are pleased to welcome couples of all ages or families and, whether you arrive by car, motorbike, push bike, train or camper van you will be made very welcome.
Our gite is available for rental all year round, whether it be for a summer vacation or for someone who is looking to get away from it all for a long winter break, the location is perfect for writing a book, researching the area for historical interest in the Templars for example or whatever is your interest.
Please contact us to request more information about the gite, the area or possible vacancies, our details can be found on the Enquiries page, we look forward to hearing from you, cordialement Stewart and Alison.

“Wonderful relaxing family holiday”
We spent the first week of June 2017 here and highly recommend it. The gite is clean, tidy and spacious and was ideal for a family of four. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful and went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The heated pool was a real luxury and the kids had the freedom to enjoy it. We loved the local area; pretty rural France with rolling hills and open countryside - with good links in to the coast and larger towns. We would not hesitate to recommend this gite to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a stunning part of France.
