Wonderful L'Ancienne Distillerie. Our Family had a fantastic week in L'Ancienne Distillerie. The location is perfect - especially if you are looking for peace and quiet! There are 4 Gites surrounded by fields of sundflowers and wineyards. There is lovely garden and privat terraces to each Gite. There is also a lovely pool. The city of Cognac just 12kms away has everything you could require during your stay as well as being well worth a visit and good Restaurant. The hosts Valerie and Nigel was extremly helpful and providede suggestions for trips to local Cognac houses, there are several cognac distilleries in the area.

We had an AMAZING stay. Would definitely recommend. We had the large backyard next to our gite which was amazing for our dog and we also enjoyed it ourselves really much. Our gite was next to the pool but we we never heard noise from the pool, it felt really private. The gite was really well equipted with everything you need and more and felt really spacious for two people. Valerie and Nigel were amazing hosts and had a lot of tips for things to do in the neighbourhood, and there is so much to do! We had our own bbq, nice things for in the pool, bikes you can use, nice chairs at the patio and also a really nice couch for a cosy night in. We are definitely coming back!

Absolutely nothing!!!

Lovely “gite” front door opened onto pool area and back door kitchen/lounge/diner opened up to a very large garden. Well equipped kitchen everything and more that you could need. Clean, comfortable and quiet it was ideal for us - (couple on a mooch in France in September). Nearby town with boulangerie which made gluten free bread on request, supermarket- fish and fruit open air stalls and a great restaurant Gueulton. There was a large family/children play room with pool table, table tennis, table football and darts plus loads of books and board games - great area for children- there were none around so we had soul use!! To top it all hosts Valerie and Nigel were lovely people - very helpful.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

This gite complex is the best place we have ever stayed at (and we aren't in the first flush of youth!). We had the one bedroom gite (Otard), which was very comfortable and unusually spacious for two people, with a spacious bedroom and en suite shower room and a large living/eating area that opened on to the pool area. It was very hot when we were there but the thick stone walls of the gite kept it cool, and using a fan at night provided a perfect sleeping temperature. The whole complex is beautifully maintained and looks attractive from the moment you drive in through the gates. Valerie and Nigel are the perfect hosts - unobtrusive but very friendly and always ready to provide ideas on where to go. Valerie arranged a visit to a nearby barrel making company - it sounds a bit niche but was an absolutely fascinating insight into a local craft - and also gave us some delicious tomatoes from their garden. We were only there for three nights but would have loved to stay longer.

Nothing!

The hosts where friendly and always there when we need them, without compromising on privacy. The gite was specious and well equiped with all necessary amenities. The kids love the grounds and games room.

Nothing really. There is no bakery at close distance. But a short drive away in Segonzac. The room missed a bath. But we all knew that up front. We would gladly return!

Lovely location with big garden and pool. Walled garden full of perfumed flowers -gorgeous. Comfy beds!!

Nothing! Booking.com’s description of disabled facilities was a bit misleading but since corrected

The property is in a rural area, very quiet and scenic. The nearby village is a short car ride away with a v good restaurant. The facilities are excellent and we loved the 1 bedroom apt,so much so we stayed for an extra night!

To be honest everything about this property is of a high standard. Valerie and Nigel couldn’t have been more helpful. The property is very central to explore the surrounding area, especially Cognac and Angoulem.

Lovely property, with lots of privacy. Big living room with well equipped kitchen. And pool area was really great! Very clean rooms. Very lovely and helpful hosts. Perfect place to wonder around in the Cognac area.

The 8 person house had thin floors and doors, so every step on staircase was heard.

We had a great time as a family of 8 staying in the Remy Martin villa. It had everything we needed and the hosts were super helpful and even helped us organise a tour of a local cognac distillery.
