Monthly Rentals in La Coquille

Thank you Gaëlle for your warm welcome and all the touches for an eco-friendly home. See you in Bonus: I bought some homemade preserves from Gaëlle ;)

We had a lovely stay at Bruno's cottage and we had a lovely welcome from his representatives on site. The cottage is located on a large garden, with large openings that bring in lots of light and it has a large terrace for sunny days. It is located along the road that crosses the village but the two bedrooms do not overlook the road and the traffic is low so there is no discomfort day or night. The cottage is well equipped for family meals and laundry. It is well heated for cold periods. The bedding is good (no back pain after 6 nights) which is not so common in the cottages we have stayed in. The cottage is a 3-minute walk from the only shop in the village which offers bread, pastries and cakes and you can have hot and cold drinks. A gîte that offers good value for money and that we recommend without reservations.

What the listing does not emphasise enough is the high quality of the way this 300 year old property has been renovated. Plus, the decor and fittings are high quality: it really is like living in a real home, not simply a place that has been kitted out on a budget just for AirBnB. And... always a good sign.... the kitchen knives are sharp, there is an apron for the cook, and spices and herbs are provided. For those of you from the UK, think of the best of 'Rural Retreats' (a very high quality set of holiday rental properties.) The property is in a tiny hamlet of 3 houses. It really is a quiet and beautiful setting. Virginia is generous with access to the garden (which is shared with her home). She is the perfect combination of being friendly but not intrusive.

Charming, relaxing, romantic place, surrounded by greenery and forest. Lots of rescued pets "too Kiki😍". Small bar restaurant, in Miallet (5 minutes from the cottage), excellent and welcoming (as well as Deb and Ian), local brewery 15 minutes away ( Périgord beer)with delicious beers, the caves of Villars, Brantome, etc.... In short, a quiet place has a few miles of beautiful and amazing places. Thank you for this moment of relaxation and well-being. Charlene and Youenn.
