Cottage With Private Pool in Rural Vineyard Setting Close to Atlantic Beaches

Beautiful house and garden with everything you need - the pool is fantastic and was used every day

We fell in love with this beautiful cottage and are already thinking of coming back next year.The house lies in a quiet hamlet about 10 minutes east of Meschers, set back from the main road. The garden, enclosed by tall hedges, is a peaceful, private oasis with plenty of space for kids to run and play. The pool feels huge since it's all yours, is well maintained, and the cover offers peace of mind with small children (once you master the manual!).The main house has a spacious living/dining area with a very well-equipped kitchen, a double bedroom, and a bathroom. The annex, accessible via a sunroom with another dining area, offers an additional double bedroom, a twin room, a second bathroom, a separate toilet, and a utility room. All rooms were clean and practically furnished.We ate every meal outdoors under the shaded pavilion with a charcoal grill.Communication with our host Dianne was warm and helpful — she responded promptly and solved a plumbing issue quickly. Thank you again, Dianne, you have been a perfect host!If anything, we missed mosquito screens — kids forgot to shut doors, so evening mosquito hunts became routine. Quiet fans helped, but we couldn’t fully adjust. I understand that installing window screens isn't feasible in this house because of the shutters, which then couldn't be closed from the inside. In short: a well-equipped, peaceful, and charming holiday home with a touch of luxury at a fair price. Perfect for families or a group of friends.

Loved our time in this property. Very well equipped and in good condition, quiet location a short drive from a number of nice places to visit. The pool was a highlight in particular! Would definitely book again.

We’ve just had a wonderful week at La Bergerie! This house is situated in a peaceful hamlet alllowing you to completely relax. The pool is AMAZING & our daughters loved it! Barbecues in the evening were wonderful too. There are so many interesting places to visit just a few miles away too. We would definitely recommend booking La Bergerie - it was even better than we imagined! Thank you!

We couldn't wait for our stay at La Bugerie but have to say we didn't expect to fall in love with it on sight, it was just perfect. Clean, homely and incredibly private. We felt at home the minute we stepped through the door. The pool is the cleanest and nicest pool we have experienced renting a Gite and when we attended a wedding during our stay at a Chateau with 3 pools, felt pretty lucky as it was nicer in comparison. We didn't spend much time exploring as we were quite happy just to stay put. We would totally recommend this spot of paradise apart from the week when we next want to visit!

A property in an excellent location for visiting local area/ attractions. Lovely to come back to such a peaceful location after a day out. We loved watching the birds bathing and drinking in the pool. Unfortunately, the weather was one of the coolest weeks for the area but having the conservatory made all the difference. It was lovely and warm to sit in for our card games in the evening. The property has 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are in a separate area to the main bedroom, nice for some peace! Thank you for a lovely stay.

The house is set back from the road in a very quiet hamlet. At first glance we were unaware of just how beautiful and secluded the garden would be, there is ample space for games and the pool is large enough for swimming laps, it's also clean and was well maintained. The house was surprisingly spacious, with two bedrooms and a new shower room set on one side of the property, accessed via the conservatory (which runs across the width of the house and looks out onto the garden). The surrounding countryside is beautiful, with fields of corn and sunflowers amongst vineyards. Cycling to the shops in Cozes or down to the sea at Talmont was easy and the views are spectacular. Dianne was also very helpful and positive, happy to help with anything, the owners have put a huge amount of work and love into the renovation.

We rented this lovely property for two weeks with our family. The cottage is well appointed and suited our needs well as I am disabled and it is all on one level. The pool area was fantastic and our granddaughters even swam in the light showers that we had in our first week. There are lots of places of interest in the surrounding area and we especially loved the Village of Talmont with all the artisan shops . We will definitely visit again .

Our family of six had an absolutely wonderful time at the cottage. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather which allowed our children to take full advantage of the fantastic pool- which was impossible for us to tear them away from. The surrounding area was beautiful with lots of places to explore, excellent restaurants nearby and cycle trails to some lovely beaches. Would highly recommend and certainly hope to return sometime soon

Pool lovely, location very good & private but really let down by the antiquated bathrooms/toilets. These need to be totally ripped out. Not great the fact the main toilet comes straight out onto the small kitchen. The showers & toilets were really tiny and so old they spoilt the trip for us personally. Also, the equipment in the kitchen e.g fridge/ oven need a total revamp. TV was tiny ( 17 inches ). Not even one T towel in the kitchen either ( although the crockery/ glasses were fine). Bed and Bedding comfortable – shame very little hanging space. We felt the house needed more money spent on it especially the toilets/ bathrooms.
