About this property

Cottage In A Peaceful Location

Our cottage lies nestled in the small village of Lozay in the south west region of France known as Charente Maritime. This area still retains the old fashioned feel of traditional France noted for its high percentage of sunshine and long balmy summer evenings. A place to relax as you meander through the rolling acres of sunflowers and maize in the beautiful rural countryside. Villages remain unspoilt, the people friendly and the small bars and restaurants offer classic French cuisine and wines at reasonable prices.

Lozay itself is a small rural village famous for its Romanesque church. The small market town of Loulay is 5 minutes away by car with a boulanger, butcher, bar and restaurant.
St Jean d'Angely is only 15 minutes with its classic buildings, squares, shops, bars, restaurants and famous Abbey.
Horse riding is available nearby, tennis and swimming at Loulay or at St Jean. The pool in St Jean is indoors and has fantastic slides for children, an Olympic sized main pool and a sun bathing terrace with picnic area for eating.
There are superb golf courses at Niot, Saint and La Rochelle. A truly tranquil retreat!

The cottage itself has recently been refurbished and now offers a modern twist on a rustic country house . The bathroom has been changed into a high end shower/wet room.
In the kitchen area you’ll find all the mod cons to create some lovely meals which can be eaten in the courtyard dining area whilst you gaze at the plethora of stars.
In the lounge you’ll find a log burner for those cooler evenings and the TV has Freeview for those cosy nights in .
As shown in the pictures the staircase, as in most rural cottages is quite steep. A baby gate can be provided on request .

The pool and garden is enclosed so it’s very safe and secure for children and dogs. The water is heated and remains at a beautiful 28 degree temperature . There are plenty of sun loungers to relax on and a couple of eating areas .

Rural peace and quiet...

We had a wonderful week. Communication beforehand was great and nothing was too much trouble. If youre looking for bright lights and busyness this is not it - though its only a car journey away. The pool about a minute's walk down the path was beautiful. The cottage was clean and contained everything we needed. Would return.

Zeer rustige cottage

Schattig Frans cottage in een zeer rustig dorpje. Prachtig zwembad, alleen niet naast het huisje. Je moet een klein stukje lopen om er te komen. Bij t zwembad zit een grote tuin met ligbedden en tafel met 4 stoelen. De tuin wordt omringt door huizen, niet echt privé. Omdat t zo rustig is, weinig bewoners, dus dat is geen probleem. In de omgeving kan je prima fietsen. Maar lopen is geen goed idee, omdat het te rustig is, en je loopt op een klein weggetje. Verder de hostess is heel vriendelijk, goede communicatie bij mail. Er wordt gezegd dat er een sleutelkastje met pincode is, maar dat klopt niet. De deur is los. WiFi en wachtwoord kloppen niet. Wanneer je dus wilt genieten van de rust met een prachtig zwembad moet je hier zijn. Golfbanen genoeg op 30/50 min rijden.

Not as advertised on your Web site property is below what is being advertised and not as described

Easy to rent would not recommend to others and found it misleading from the owners description of facilities.

Un bout de verdure reposant

Joli cottage dans un coon de campagne très calme et reposant. A savoir si vous venez avec de jeunes enfants ou votre chien : le jardin entièrement clos avec la piscine est situé 50 mètres plus bas et n est pas attenant au logement. Par ailleurs la campagne francaise necessite bien entendu d etre motorisé. Un Havre de paix qui fut une belle découverte.

De belles vacances a Lozay

Le gite est situé dans un lieu agréable,calme et ensoleillé.De nombreuses balades et excursions sont accessibles facilement.Joanna et ses parents nous ont bien accueillis et partagés la piscine chauffée! Il faut noter que cette location n'est pas adaptée aux personnes ayant des problèmes pour se déplacer.Les chambres et les toilettes sont au 1er étage et l'escalier pour y accéder est très raide. La télévision ne diffuse que les chaines anglaises....à savoir pour les touristes francais!

Charming rural cottage but with easy access to lots of amenities.

We had an amazing week in Lozay, the cottage is well equipped and has loads of character. We especially loved the little walled courtyard eating area. At night it lit up like a secret garden. Just gorgeous!!!!! I would definitely recommend the region, Saint Jean is a charming market town with a lovely local market on a Wednesday and Saturday morning. We also visited La Rochelle and Fouras. There was also a beautiful heated pool with surrounding garden to chill out in. Just lovely with a glass of wine .

About the host

Hosted by Joanna Brown

Host profile image
Hi my name is Jo,

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or queries. I've spent many a summer holiday in the area so know all the best places to visit.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought the cottage back in 1994, and our childhood holidays in France were nothing short of magical. We all fell head over heels for the Saint Jean area – it's like a serene little bubble where time slows down, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

But don't let the peace and quiet fool you! The location is a gateway to adventure with places like La Rochelle, Cognac, Saint , Fouras, La Grande Cote, Royan, Chatelaillon- Plage and Ill de Re an hours drive away.

So, when you’re ready to swap your sun lounger for some exploration, there are plenty of exciting spots waiting to be discovered. Adventure and relaxation, all in one place!
