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 estuary 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 adjacent 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 a bakery, small supermarket, butcher, post office, cash machine, 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, Poitiers and much more.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Howard Yates
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."
