Sonnac Other | Les Bouleaux, Beautiful Stone Farmhouse with Private Heated Swimming Pool

2 Bedroom Place in Sonnac

We have now lived for over 20 years in this sunny southwest corner of France and our farmhouse, which is surrounded by vines and sunflowers, is on the edge of the tranquil village of Les Vignes, which lies on the Charente/Charente-Maritime border in the heart of Cognac country, just 5 minutes from Matha and 15 minutes from Cognac. Les Bouleaux, which sleeps 4 is at the bottom of a 100 metre gated drive accessible via a quiet lane. The property is set in 3 acres of former vineyards and benefits from having its own private heated swimming pool for sole use. The pool sits in a southwest facing secluded garden where you can while away the hours soaking up the sun and taking in the peace and quiet with a glass of your favourite tipple.
Area: The Charente-Maritime has its own micro-climate and has the second most recorded hours of sunshine per year in France. There are many towns worth visiting, Cognac is only 15 minutes away, a must for you to visit with its major Cognac houses of Hennessy, Martell, Remy Martin, Camus and Otard, as well as the parks, shops and many restaurants for you to enjoy. The historic towns of Saintes, 35 minutes away and Angoulême, 45 minutes away, are both worth a visit. Saintes with its famous Roman Amphitheatre and Angoulême an old fortress town which stands at the top of a hill. Angoulême also has a TGV station with Paris only 2½ hours away by train. About 50 minutes west are the costal towns and beaches of Royan, Rochefort and La Rochelle. The latter with its historic port and seafood restaurants. Or if you prefer not to travel there is a lake and sandy beach at the next village of Thors just a few minutes away. Bordeaux and Futuroscope are only slightly further afield.
How to get here: We are well within a days driving distance of the western channel ports. St Malo being the nearest, closely followed by Caen, Le Havre and Cherbourg. Eurotunnel and short channel crossings to Calais are now only 6½ hours drive away with the opening of new motorway links. You can fly from many U.K. airports to La Rochelle which is approximately 60 minutes away or Bordeaux and Poitiers which are both approximately 90 minutes away.
Les Bouleaux benefits from a beautiful heated swimming pool with a terraced patio area with loungers, table and chairs. There is also another private patio and barbecue outside the cottage.
The accommodation at Les Bouleaux comprises a large living/dining room with cream coloured stone walls with dining table and ample seating for 4 people, there are 2 large settees in the living area . There is also a flat screen high definition television with English and French channels, DVD player and a radio/CD player. Leading off this room is an archway into a fully equipped kitchen including a gas hob with oven, dishwasher, microwave and fridge/freezer. Another door leads into a large shower room with shower, washbasin, toilet and washing machine.

Summary: A wonderful holiday cottage, clean and well furnished and the pool is wonderful. Set in a peaceful rural location but with easy access to nearby villages/towns for shopping and day trips. We didn't want to come home

Summary: We had a lovely stay in this house for a full week. A warm welcome by Christine and Kevin. The authentic house was fresh and clean and has everything you need. A massive shed that we could use for our bikes was also a big plus. And then the wonderfulp and mega garden - really beautiful and well done including the heated pool which is separated so that it's kids proof. All together a really nice and relaxed place to stay.

Summary: We absolutely loved the cottage. It had every bit of authentic French character charm that we hoped it would. Beautiful windows. The pool area was wonderful and safe for the kids. The pool itself was clean and heated with lovely garden views. Kevin and Christine were perfect hosts. We used the bikes to go for rides across surrounding lanes which were all flat and surrounded by fields full of poppies and grapevines. If going with kids then definitely visit La Chateau des Enigmes. A great mystery trail throughout the house and gardens. The towns of Pons, Saintes and Cognac were all good day trips. For Cognac tasting and distillery tour we went to the house of Hine, next to the river in Jarnac, about 25 minutes away. We highly recommend it. Even the kids were interested and enjoyed it. We loved the whole area. A bit more sleepy than England in the villages but we found it relaxing. Our only complaint was the changeable weather but that couldn’t be helped. We would really recommend this cottage to anyone considering it.

Summary: Very well kept, clean and tidy farmhouse set in extensive, beautiful gardens with a lovely heated swimming pool. Bicycles, badminton and board games provided along with UK freesat. Rural retreat - great place to unwind and relax. A car is a must as the towns of Cognac and Saintes perhaps a 20 min drive away. Christine & Kevin lovely people and are perfect hosts.

Summary: Wished we could have spent longer in this beautiful holiday home. Very relaxing holiday. We spent days relaxing by the pool and playing badminton and football. Very spacious gardens with lovely flowers and trees. We visited La Rochelle which was about an hours drive away. We also visited the zoo at Royan. It was a very well equipped house, fridge/freezer, microwave, oven/hob, lovely shower room with washing machine. English TV too. The house was full of character. The owners Kevin and Christine were very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous accommodation.

Summary: This is a tremendous place to stay. The property has everything you need. We were only two but the property can accommodate six and still not be crowded. Two good size bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom/we. We never used bath upstairs because there is a large shower room/wc/washroom downstairs. Large living/dining room and fully equipped kitchen. Christine and Trevor are a very nice couple who are available close by if you need any help. Really nice swimming pool which, although shared with a smaller property, is nicely secluded by well placed, maintained flora and bushes which enable the two properties to be completely separated from the pool. Extensive garden area for casual walks or playing boule or other games. Three is even a self contained gym for the energetic. Next door is a cognac distillery which Christine or Trevor will organise a visit for you. It is a must to visit. Shops within easy driving distance. Boulangerie within reasonably easy cycling distance if you are fit. I'm not. Bikes are available for use by guests. BBQ also available. Lots of places to visit within easy access for a car or motorbike as we had when we visited in June. This really is a nice place to stay. We booked a return visit next year before we left we were so impressed.

Summary: This was our first holiday in the Cherente and we were so pleased to have picked this Gite for our stay. The owners, Chris & Kevin were there to greet us and were a great help all through the week when we needed it. The Gite is imaculate, comfortable and well equiped. We loved the surrounding area and will be back for a longer stay to see more...... A bonus was that a local wine maker lived next door and his wine is wonderful, a must for any visitors

Summary: The cottage is set on the outskirts of a very quiet village and is a lovely spot for a relaxed break and is ideal to explore the Cognac region - a car is a must. There is plenty of space both inside and outside the building. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great when we visited and so we didn't manage to get in the pool. The vicinity around the cottage is mainly made up of vineyards and fields of sunflowers. Behind the cottage is a wine maker and cognac distiller which is well worth a visit. La Rochelle and the Ile de Re were the highlights of our tours and the Chateau La Roche Courbon at St Porchaire was just stunning. Huge thanks go to the owners Christine and Kevin who were the perfect hosts and we would certainly recommend this property.

Summary: We had a lovely week here, a family of 4 with boys aged 11 and 14. The pool was very warm, and they played loads of badminton. I just relaxed! They loved the fact they could watch CBBC and laze around! It is a very quiet area, but found a really good restaurant on Matha, and had a great trip out to Ile de Re and La Rochelle. Saintes is gorgeous and Cognac nice too. Although it feels remote, there is a massive supermarket in Matha. We mainly had lunches out and then cooked or BBQed in the evening. We used the bikes for cycle rides and could cycle 2 miles to a sweet little lake with pedaloes. The weather was stunning every day and was very hot by the end of the week. A great week, thank you!
