About this property
Fisherman's Cottage with WiFi and views to the harbour.
Our Fisherman's cottage is in the pretty port of La Rive, Mortagne-sur-Gironde. Mortagne is a lovely fishing village in the Charente-Maritime - only 20 minutes drive from the great beaches at Meschers and Royan. The village has all you need for your holiday - in the upper town there is a pizzeria, a bar, and all the essential shops including bank and post office. The cottage is just 100 metres from the port, where there are restaurants, cafes and a few shops - a boulangerie, a cabin selling freshly made hot dishes when you don't feel like cooking, and a little stall with fresh fruit, wine and other essentials ! The area is a haven for birdlife - there are wonderful walks out towards the Gironde estuary, where you can spot storks, herons, egrets and other waterbirds. The marais is perfect for cycling and there is horseriding available too. The house itself is an old fisherman's cottage, and was once an "epicerie" (a village grocers shop) and has a large open plan living area, with a well equipped kitchen, and 3 bedrooms. There is a brand new timber decked terrace overlooking the port, with table, chairs and barbecue. The perfect holiday house from which to visit the tourist attractions in the area - to spend long days on the nearby beaches - or to simply soak up the sun and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this wonderful area of France.

Lovely gite in a lovely area. We particularly enjoyed going to the port to read in the shade and enjoy a drink in the bar/restaurants. Plenty to do and see in the local area with La Rochelle and Bordeaux within 90 minutes to go further afield. Jo was very welcoming and helpful, being only 20 minutes away if needed

Lovely cottage, great location, immaculate and well equipped!
We had a lovely time staying at the cottage - it’s in a great location and the views down to the port are stunning. We arrived late and Jo could not have been more helpful, sorting some bread, milk etc for us and getting the cottage nice and warm for our arrival! Possibly the cleanest holiday rental I have ever stayed in - the property was immaculate and very tastefully furnished. I would highly recommend.

Bonjour Esmeralda
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire - je suis tres contente que vous avez aime notre maison, et que vous avez apprecie la terrasse aussi.
la maison de pêcheur est à une "encablure" du port de plaisance et toute proche aussi du port de pêche.
que dire de la propriétaire : que du bien ! elle est charmante, précise, à l'écoute. je vais cesser d'en dire trop,
car elle risque d'avoir trop de succès et d'être over-bookée.
(c'est une mauvaise plaisanterie : je lui souhaite beaucoup de succès). A +
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub in Jo's kleinen Cottage. Das Cottage hat eine schöne Lage in der Stadt, zu Fuss kann man den Hafen besuchen, auch Bäckerei und Supermarkt gibt es in der Nähe. Das Cottage ist gut ausgestattet, wir haben uns sehr über die vorhandenen Badehandtücher für den Strand gefreut. Auch die Terrasse ist sehr schön zu nutzen im Sommer. Talmont ist eine Reise wert und die Strände in Meschers waren toll. Auch Bordeaux oder die Ile de Re kann man per Auto erreichen. Vorallem Jo war eine sehr liebenswerte Gastgeberin, sie hat uns sehr nett empfangen und auch der kleine private Parkplatz war toll. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Très beau séjour dans votre belle région. La maison est conforme au descriptif et Joanna est tres gentille et accueillante. Je recommande cette location.
Le fisherman’s cottage est accueillant, typique et très bien équipé. C’est l’endroit idéal pour se ressourcer après une journée de balade. Mortagne offre des vues époustouflantes sur l’estuaire de la Gironde, c’est aussi le point de départ vers d’autres sites magnifiques : la côte entre Meschers et St Georges de Didonne, l’estuaire de la Seudre où Blaye entre autres. A recommander à tous ceux qui apprécie la nature, les plongées dans l’histoire et l’authenticité de ceux qui font vivre tout ce patrimoine.
Nous avons passé de très belles vacances !
Gite très bien situé , dans un cadre ou le temps semble s'arrêté , accueil très professionnel
La région est somptueuse
Le gite est très fonctionnel et trés bien équipé
Je recommande absolument
Entre le coeur du village et le port de Mortagne, cette location est très bien placée, très agréable et bien équipée (merci pour le linge de toilette, de lit et de cuisine).
Très agréable séjour dans ce petit village portuaire. Emplacement idéal pour rayonner dans l’estuaire. Location très propre et propriétaire très sympathique.
We love this property, the location, the owners...
We've been twice now and it's just so lovely to be there! You can sit in bed watching the swallows nesting or sit outside in the sun pretending not to be listening to people walking past. The house has everything you could need without the feeling that you can't relax in it. It feels like a best kept secret! We went in the Summer but would love to go in the Winter, although our favourite place to eat, which is a very down to earth 'cabane' that cooks fresh sardines on an outside grill and serves better oysters than the Ile d'Oleron, is probably not open then...

week end appaisant
Très jolie maison, bien située dans Mortagne. Rien ne manque. On a pu tester la soirée au coin du feu et l'apéro sur la petite terrasse ensoleillée... aussi bon l'un que l'autre. Tout est propre. Trés bon accueil de Joanna.

Les clients parfaits ! Merci beaucoup d’avoir laissé ma petite maison dans un état si propre et bien rangé. Je pense que c’est la premiére fois quand tout ce que j’ai du faire c’est de remplacer le linge sur les lits ! Vous serez la bienvenue n’importe quand ! Je suis très contente que la maison vous a plu.
About the host
Hosted by Jo and Blue Walshe
We are Blue and Jo Walshe (Gites en Charente Maritime) and after spending lots of time in France, and especially in the Charente-Maritime area over many years we have finally done it and moved here ! We now live just a few kilometres away from our gite in Mortagne, which we bought in 2013. We have always loved France for its food, its wine, and especially for its way of life - we have found a little bit of paradise here - and hope you will too.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Mortagne when we first had a holiday here a few years ago, and we've come back many times since then - we love the marina with its restaurants and cafes - there is always something to watch, and yet it's peaceful and relaxing. There are beautiful walks from the port itself - and for anyone interested in birdwatching it's a must ! And when you can tear yourself away there are lots of nearby places to visit - from historic towns such as Saintes or Cognac, to bustling cities such as Bordeaux or La Rochelle, and beaches at Meschers or Royan, And when all you want to do is relax with a good book and a coffee or a glass of the local pineau - our little terrace is perfect.
What makes this property unique
Mediterranean climate, great restaurants, beaches, walks, river, countryside and places of interest - Bordeaux, Saintes, Cognac. Plenty to do or do nothing.
