Photos and Description of this Royan area holiday cottage Two self-catered properties, each sleeping 6, near to the beach

La Blanchetterie is a beautiful charentaise farmhouse and gite set in the quiet village of Chenac, facing south with fantastic views of the Gironde estuary, just 10 minutes from the nearest beach of Meschers. Complete with pool, the property is set in an acre of garden, surrounded by vineyards and sunflowers. The adjoining village of St Seurin d'Uzet used to be the centre of caviar production in France. The region is famous for not just caviar, but oysters, wine and cognac. The property has been restored to keep a lot of the original features, including exposed beams and stone fireplaces. Each house is well equipped, all linen and bath towels are provided. The owners, Katie and Mike Harrington, live at the property in a converted barn behind the house and are at hand to answer any questions, and maybe take you on a tour of a working vineyard for those who are keen to do a bit of tasting, including the local Pineau.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Had a wonderful time, great house, great weather, will be telling all our friends about it! Thank you for your hospitality Katie and Mike, we hope to return soon.

What a fantastic week - weather brilliant (too hot sometimes, if that is possible). Thanks Katie and Mike for sharing your home with us - it is lovely.

What a fantastic two weeks. The weather has been great. The kids have spent most of the holiday in the pool. Cognac, the zoo, La Rochelle all well worth a visit. The most enjoyable part has been the excellent bike rides to Talmont, Mortagne and Port Maubert. Finally a very big thank you to Mike and Katie who have been excellent hosts.

We have had a great time. We particularly enjoyed Katie cooking us a meal, Saintes, Le Chateua des Enigmes for the kids, Cozes market, bike ride to Mortagnes.

We had a really nice time again. The weather has been great and its been fun playing with Holly and Stevie. Katies cooking is really yummy!

La Blanchetterie - 3rd time visit

3rd Time Bristol
Review Submitted: September 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This was our 3rd visit in 4 years and once again we had a really relaxing time either at the beach or the pool or just wandering/biking around local attractions. We had 2 weeks of great weather with the kids enjoying the pool everyday plus the essential outdoor eating and drinking. Lastly must say a big thank you to Katie and Mike for being great hosts - we always tried to get back for beer o'clock!

Been once - going again next year!

Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
From the moment we pulled up outside La Blanchetterie we knew we had chosen well. The welcome we received was warm and we immediately felt relaxed. Katie and Mike were there if we needed anything but totally respected our privacy. The accommodation in the gite suited us perfectly and the grounds are lovely. There is plenty to see and do in this part of France and so we shall return next year, which is the best recommendation we can give.
