What a wonderful place!! The cottage was very clean and tidy, with a well equipped kitchen and a heavenly shower. Situated about 5 minutes from the town centre and the beach - placement couldn't be better. The area is beautiful and there is lots to see and do. Shelley met us there with the key and showed us everything we needed to know for the week. She was ever so friendly and helpful. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and would certainly encourage our friends to stay!

A little piece of paradise!

We have just returned from a month in Rose Tremiere and enjoyed every minute! Communications are great with the owners, Shelley & Carl who have taken time to make sure your every need is at hand, you'll want for nothing here. Set in a lovely French coastal village, you have the best of both worlds, sea, villages & countryside to explore. It is in a peaceful situation with the great advantage of having a garden to relax in. Life's needs are within walking distance, supermarket, a daily market for fresh produce, bakeries, butchers, fish & shellfish. The lamb from Meschers is out of this world & the pork cuts like butter! All washed down with the local wine from the Cave, what more could you want! Many good & reasonable restaurants are within walking distance, although in September there were some that close on certain days, but there was always somewhere open to eat, with good food & nice people.
You will not regret booking this accommodation. It is a 'little piece of paradise' tucked away in France. On second thoughts, maybe we should keep the secret to ourselves!!!!

Great place!

Review Submitted: September 2, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
What a lovely bungalow! Ideally situated within Meschers as it is very close to the supermarket, bakery and morning fruit market but also to the beach. There are two beaches and the second one has lifeguards and feels very safe for swimming. It is also very clean and has lovely fine sand. The "grottes" are very interesting and well worth a visit.
The bungalow offers everything you require for a holiday: a well equipped kitchen, nice shower, a good bed to sleep in and a table and chairs for breakfast in the garden! It is very clean and we were warmly greated by the owner on arrival.
Having got access to a garage meant we could leave all the beach stuff in there and out of the way.
We thought it was great to have mainly French tourists in the resort as it felt very French.
The area offers lots to see and the Atlantic coast isn't very far if you want to experience the big waves. There are great cycle paths between Royan and Ronce-les-Bains and we particularly liked the beach at La Palmyre and by the lighthouse for a change. We also enjoyed the Zoo in La Palmyre.

We had a terrific holiday in Meschers. The location of the gite was excellent, a mere 5 minutes walk to Super U, the main street and the incredible daily markets with the most delicious fish and fruit and the wonderful night market on Wednesdays.The "moules" are a must and can be bought ready to cook saving all the preparation. The beach is a 10 minute walk away and fabulous for sunbathing but be warned...you must swim only in the area between the 2 blue flags as there are strong currents here. The friendly lifeguards will keep a close eye so no worries. Talmont and Royan are well worth a visit and the restaurants by the port offer excellent value and absolutely delicious food. We particularly liked "La Caravelle" where a 3 course meal was on offer for 18 euro!
The gite itself wsa well equipped and exactly as described on the website. There is a fabulous garden with a table, chairs and 2 great sunloungers! The owners, Shelley and Carl were extremely helpful in every way and we would love to return in the future.

Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Rose Tremiere was everything we looked for this summer. Well-maintained and equipped cottage with a nice garden, in a quiet seaside town.

The cottage is within walking distance from supermarket, butcher, baker and a nice market. Also close to nice beach which was perfect for our children.

You can stay in Mechers all week and just relax, but there's lots to do in the area.

Very helpful owner made us feel really welcome. We would easily recommend Rose Tremiere to our friends.

Accomodation was perfect. We were able to walk to beach or into the village easily. there is free internet access nearby if you need it. We enjoyed visiting different areas along the coast and coming back and relaxing / eating in the garden. owner was very helpful.

Owner's Response: Rose Tremiere is well situated for the beach, town centre shopping, market and restaurants. We have added some sunloungers and comfy garden chairs to make relaxing in the garden even better this year - along with the bbq and a glass of wine, what could be better?!

The gite was exactly as advertised, it had everything you could want and very clean. Carl met us at the gite and could not have been more helpful, had even brought us some milk in case being a Sunday late afternoon we did not have any! shower was fantastic!!!! with endless hot water. The only thing to be careful on is that we were there in late September and the restaurants were either closed for the season or only open certain days.
The whole area is fabulous and made for exploring.

I would definitely recommend the cottage for a family holiday. It was clean and well maintained and equipped with everything we needed for our holiday, including loads of kids videos and books, and a drawer full of tourist info. We particularly loved the garden which was perfect for al fresco lunch and letting our kids run around in. The owner was very helpful throughout the whole booking process and the holiday. The cottage is handy for the beach, supermarket, market and caves and the surrounding area is full of interesting things to do.

Owner's Response: This was a family of four - parents and two young children. There is also a box of toys and games. Free of charge we offer a high chair and cot. As they say, the house well situated for all your needs - beach, market, restaurants (over 20 within a 15 minutes walking radius). You really don't need a car at Meschers, as there are also buses to Royan (and the train station), La Palmyre etc. But it is a great area to get out and discover if you wish.

Review Submitted: August 22, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
We had a fantastic time staying at Rose Tremiere last summer. Four adults fitted easily into the accommodation, which was very comfortable. The shower was lovely and hot, and the kitchen was well equiped. We enjoyed several barbecues in the garden. the house is within easy walking distance of the beach. We spent several evenings enjoying food and music at the Jazz bar on the beach - the salsa night was great fun! The town has a good market where you can buy everything from fresh fish to beard and olives. There is also a supermarket where most essentials can be purchased. There is a good restaurant that serves delicious galettes and crepes in the 'grottes' - about five minutes walk from the house. Go in the evening and enjoy the spectacular sunset over the Gironde. We would thoroughtly recommend Rose Tremiere for a relaxing family holiday.

I cannot recommend the cottage too highly. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained,and the owners were helpful and informative on every point, including whether there were beach classes for kids. It was particularly helpful to find a drawer full of brochures of nearby activities, recommended restaurants etc. The area is full of interest, and there are plenty of beaches. Excellent family holiday cottage!
