About this property

QUIET COUNTRY COTTAGE FOR 2. HEATED POOL. PANORAMIC SEA VIEW. NEAR BEACHES

Moulin Rompu enjoys perhaps the most beautiful location on the Gironde estuary. Surrounded by vines and sunflowers, in an elevated position with spectacular views across the sea and open countryside. The sunsets are amazing! This newly built holiday cottage has character and charm and is totally private with secure parking behind electronic gates. There is free WIFI, excellent mobile reception and UK TV. French windows open on to your own south facing terrace and secluded garden from which you can lie back and enjoy the views. On the kitchen terrace the large geothermally heated saltwater pool is shared only with the English owners who live in the nearby house.
Moulin Rompu is extremely peaceful and quiet being situated off the main road, well away from traffic (other than the odd tractor). It is a short (10 minute) stroll into the pretty village of Mortagne with bakeries, small supermarket, butchers, bank, cafes, pizzeria and other shops offering fresh hot take away food. The lower part of the village is a picturesque little port and here there are more restaurants, bars, market stalls and regular brocantes. Within 20 mins drive are the large golden sandy beaches of St Georges and Royan as well as many pretty small sheltered coves; further up this glorious coast is the wild and beautiful Cote Sauvage.
Within walking distance of the cottage the woods, estuary and marshes are a paradise for birdwatchers, photographers and artists.
In 1hr drive visit Bordeaux, the chateaux of the Medoc (via Blaye), Cognac, La Rochelle. In 2 hrs, St Emilion, Ile de Re, etc etc.
So much to see and do in this beautiful part of France or just stay by the pool and soak up the sun!!!

For guests who enjoy fine cuisine, we can recommend several restaurants within 20 mins drive. Or if you prefer to eat at home and let the restaurant come to you - Katering.com - Just ask us for details.

Relaxing week in idyllic surroundings
The property was spotless and well equipped. The location was great: just outside the village with spectacular views across the Gironde, and easy road access to many interesting places. Our hosts provided a wealth of information to make our stay truly enjoyable

We will gladly come again
The welcome by Liz and Howard was very warm and friendly. We were briefed on everything. We were given a bottle of locally grown wine to welcome us. The property is located in a very quiet street. The house is secured with an electric gate and the parking space for the car is perfect. The dishwasher is small but perfect. The washing machine is new and easy to use. The pool is magnificent. The cover works electrically - perfect! Liz and Howard are very discreet hosts. They only used the pool when we were not in it. For waste disposal, everything was super labelled - it does work a bit differently than in Germany. Howard had sent information in advance about the surrounding area and places of interest and restaurants. On site, we received a map with all the restaurants marked on it. In the village itself there are 2 bakers, a butcher and a very well-stocked Coop market. There is a large supermarket (full-range store) in Cozes and in Gemozac, both about 11 km away. We were allowed to use the rotary dryer in the courtyard - very convenient. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much and would love to come back.

The view, the house, the hosts, the swimming pool, the envirenment,… everything was TOP!! We had a sunny holiday in Mortagne sur Gironde, we did a lot of bicycle tours (vtt and ebike), visited nice villages and enjoyed Liz and Howards place.

Perfektes Ferienhaus für 2
Wir wurden herzlich von den Gastgebern empfangen und es wurde alles so angetroffen wie erwartet. Ein sehr schönes Haus, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und ausgestattet. Ebenso gehört ein großer Pool dazu und reichlich Platz zum entspannen. Auf der Terrasse mit Meerblick (Gironde) kann man herrlich frühstücken und zu Abend essen. Zudem hatten wir fast jeden Tag einen wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang. Howard und Liz sind ganz liebe Menschen und absolut diskret und rücksichtsvoll. Wir haben uns super wohlgefühlt.

About the host

Hosted by Howard Yates

Host profile image
We have owned property near Mortagne for 30 years, so have a detailed knowledge of the area, which our guests find very useful. We speak French, so we can help if our guests need translation, reservations, etc. Keen travellers ourselves, we understand what our guests need to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the accommodation, the area or anything else.

Why they chose this property

Fabulous view. Stunning coastline. Beautiful countryside. Edge of village location. Eco-friendly house with large heated salt water pool and secluded private garden. Go to the beach, eat out by the marina, sample the wine at a chateau, shop in the local markets, walk along the coast, explore the countryside by bike or just chill out by the pool. We (and our guests) love the privacy, the pool, proximity to village shops and restaurants, beaches and historic sites nearby. Plus a few top class restaurants within driving distance.

What makes this property unique

Extracts from our guest book:

"A wonderful base to explore this beautiful part of France. We have eaten very well, enjoying all your recommendations (the rest we'll have to come back again for!). We particularly liked the attractive towns of Jonzac and Pons and the trip to the Medoc."

"A fantastic two weeks in a wonderful location and a gite which has everything - including excellent hosts who made us so welcome. Also Howard and Liz have fantastic local knowledge, which is so helpful. We would recommend going across to the Medoc, but do stop at Blaye and visit the Citadel - excellent. The Cote Sauvage has great beaches. Great meals at Le Cottage and La Vieille Poste. So much to do in a lovely area."
