About this property

A traditional 2 bedroomed stone cottage ideal for family holidays.

The Garden Gite, Lamberniere is a recently refurbished single storey stone cottage perfectly located in the heart of the French countryside, providing the perfect setting for a relaxed, yet fun-filled, family holiday. We also accept ONE pet in this property.

Located within easy travelling distance from all major cities, towns and attractions of the Charente Maritime, including the coast and just 5 minutes’ drive from the local market town of Matha, 15 minutes from the Romanesque splendour of St Jean d Angely and 20 minutes from the historical town of Cognac, home to the world famous distilleries of Hennessy, Remy Martin, Martell and Camus and a vast number of celebrated pineau houses and producers.

The Garden Cottage sits within a large, quiet plot in the heart of the village, having its own private terrace/outdoor eating area with Portuguese style stone BBQ and seating for 4 adults. Guests also use the BBQs as outdoor fire-places to further extend their outdoor living during their holiday!

The Garden Cottage has its own terrace and lawned garden, securely fenced to all sides making it ideal for families with small children and/or those who wish to bring their pet on holiday with them.

Guests have access and use of our large 1acre garden with its 10m x 5m in-ground swimming pool, petanque court and a range of family games equipment, including badminton and table-tennis.

Our gites have their own gated access, separate to the main family home of the owners, ensuring privacy and security. There is gravelled parking for a minimum of 2 vehicles and gates with lock.

The large garden is mainly laid to lawn with trees and flower beds and there is ample space for family activities as well as shady areas for comfort during the height of summer. Sun-loungers and tables and chairs around the pool are all provided, as is a range of pool-based games equipment and inflatables.

The Garden Cottage sleeps 4 people. There is a large double bedroom and a good-sized twin room. Cots and high chairs are available to use on request from the owners. The Garden Cottage has a brand new bathroom equipped with a large shower, toilet and wash basin. All bed linen and bath towels are provided, as is a beach/pool towel per person. There is a fully fitted kitchen with gas cooker, fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and automatic washing-machine.

Indoors, there is a dining table with chairs for 4 adults. The lounge has sofas and relaxed seating for 4 adults. English Satellite & French TV plus a DVD player with a range of DVDs are provded and free WiFi is accessible throughout the property.

The owners live in the main house adjacent to the cottages which is separated by a gated wall for guests’ privacy. The owners are available throughout your stay to ensure you have everything you need for a great holiday!

For parties greater than 4 or for families who wish to travel with grandparents or friends etc, our sister property next door - 'The Old Barn’ - similarly accommodates 4 adults but within a 2 storey property with its own private terrace and flower garden - see Home Away Property Ref: 8625109

Excellent restful stay
Beautiful cottage with everything you need. Use of grounds and pool. Very friendly, helpful, hosts gave lots of advice on things to do and places to visit and nothing was too much trouble. Enclosed garden to the cottage so our dog could be let off lead. Peaceful location, we had a great stay, thank you Jill and Phil.

Lovely quiet gite
A lovely well presented gite in a pretty area. The garden is private and peaceful, the communal pool (one other gite only and owners) excellent with plenty of loungers and shade. Supermarket in Mathe less than 10 minutes. Cognac 25 minutes.

A perfect peaceful family holiday
We had a fantastic 2 weeks staying in the cottage, my wife and I, with our daughter (12) and our Cavachon, Monty. The garden was ideal and safe for Monty. The setting is very rural and quiet which made for a lovely relaxing holiday enjoying family time, games and BBQ's. The pool was a very welcome addition, our daughter was a big fan and we all were in there as often as we could be. It was spotless and the perfect temperature! We had day trips out to Cognac, Saint Jean d'Angley and Royan for sightseeing, lunches & dinners and an overnight in La Rochelle visiting Ile de Re the following day, all recommended. It's a beautiful part of France to explore. The owners Jill & Phil are so welcoming and couldn't be more helpful, the cottage, the barn and garden are kept pristine and they made sure we were having the best time and gave advice and made suggestions on activities. Good size supermarket, fuel station and amenities are close by in Matha, which is a short drive. We have never gone back to the same holiday destination twice, however we will probably return again as this was an ideal break for us all. Many thanks to J & P for everything!

We had a fabulous stay, the gite is everything and more that you could hope for an amazing holiday. The hosts Phil & Jill go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure you have the most enjoyable holiday possible. The garden and facilities are beautiful and very well maintained. We will definitely be booking a return visit in the future.

Host profile image
We have had a property in the immediate area since 2002 but bought and moved permenantly to Lamberniere to live and work in 2017. We have enjoyed every family holiday in the Charente Maritime, with mixed ages from 1 to 90 years old! We're delighted to welcome you to this treasure of a Department and look forward to ensuring you have a wonderful holiday!

Why they chose this property

The Garden Cottage is very well maintained, providing a perfect environment for a relaxed holiday! The stone walled interior makes for cool, summer living and its location is ideal for access to all the local attractions and regional treasures. This single storey property is ideal for a family or 4 adults and its secure patio and lawned garden make it a great choice for families with young children and/or a pet.

Guests have access to our large 1 acre grounds within which you'll find our 10m x 5m swimming pool, perfect for swimming and cooling off during those balmy summer days. Lamberniere is a quiet hamlet within the Commune of Mons (1km). There is a free-to-play tennis court and beautiful walking and cycling routes that stretch throughout the surrounding countryside, filled with seasonal sunflowers and Cognac vines.

What makes this property unique

Quiet country location yet less than half an hour from the main A10 Autoroute and other easy access roads to the main attractions of SW France, incuding the Atlantic coast, the Venice Vert, key historical towns, wineries, the famous Cognac distilleries and a range of activities for all ages and preferences.
