About this cottage rental
Moulin Rompu enjoys perhaps the most beautiful location on the Gironde estuary. Surrounded by vines and sunflowers, in an elevated position with spectacular views across the estuary and open countryside. The sunsets are amazing! This newly built holiday cottage has character and charm and is totally private with secure parking behind electronic gates. There is free WIFI, excellent mobile reception and UK TV. French windows open on to your own south facing terrace and secluded garden from which you can lie back and enjoy the views. On the kitchen terrace the large geothermally heated saltwater pool is shared only with the English owners who live in the adjacent house.
Moulin Rompu is extremely peaceful and quiet being situated off the main road, well away from traffic (other than the odd tractor). It is a short (10 minute) stroll into the pretty village of Mortagne with a bakery, small supermarket, butcher, post office, cash machine, cafes, pizzeria and other shops offering fresh hot take away food. The lower part of the village is a picturesque little port and here there are more restaurants, bars, market stalls and regular brocantes. Within 20 mins drive are the large golden sandy beaches of St Georges and Royan as well as many pretty small sheltered coves; further up this glorious coast is the wild and beautiful Cote Sauvage.
Within walking distance of the cottage the woods, estuary and marshes are a paradise for birdwatchers, photographers and artists.
In 1hr drive visit Bordeaux, the chateaux of the Medoc (via Blaye), Cognac, La Rochelle. In 2 hrs, St Emilion, Ile de Re, Poitiers and much more.
So much to see and do in this beautiful part of France or just stay by the pool and soak up the sun!!!
For guests who enjoy fine cuisine, we can recommend several restaurants within 20 mins drive. Or if you prefer to eat at home and let the restaurant come to you - Katering.com - Just ask us for details.

We had a wonderful week at this property. Howard and Liz were amazing hosts. Communication before arrival was excellent and we found the property with ease using the what 3 words app (thank you Howard). The property is accurate as per the listing. It is ideally located for using as a base for exploring the coastline. We highly recommend the property.

We primarily visited the area to cycle and to enjoy the wildlife - neither disappointed.We cycled just over 600 miles on extremely quiet roads and paths through varied landscapes.After a days cycling the swimming pool was a real plus.The owners Howard and Liz are on hand with a wealth of local knowledge and treated us with views of wild boar from the patio. The bike was garaged and nothing was too much trouble.We will return.

The property is beautifully situated with a lovely outlook and breath taking sunsets . It is an interesting area - lots of towns and villages to visit . Beautiful Romanesque churches and also Gallo/ Roman remains.
The property is comfortable and the hosts Howard and Liz are thoughtful and knowledgeable. There is a great butcher in the village too.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks holiday in Howard and Liz's gite. The gite had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable to stay in. The pool and pool area was superb, the lunch/dining area was idyllic with tables sat between two rows of lavender bushes and the views across the estuary were amazing.
Howard and Liz are an incredibly welcoming couple with a great knowledge of the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend anyone thinking of booking into the gite.
