About this house rental
'La Mirabelle' is a beautifully situated large detached cottage, it is light and bright with high ceilings. It's perfectly located close enough to Bordeaux, Cognac and Angouleme but far enough away to enjoy seclusion with peace and quiet. There is large, recently renovated pool, fitted with an alarm and a generous sun bathing terrace to enjoy. There is a gated garden exclusive for 'La Mirabelle' residents to use, as well as very large open green spaces. La Mirabelle' is located in the charming Charente countryside, looking out over vines and sunflowers, close to a village though secluded and set in the grounds of a former Cognac estate with an elegant French house 'Manoir d'Aulagnes' at its heart.
La Mirabelle is private from the main house and has its own large spaces, garden and the most typically French vista. It has its own parking and gardens. Visit Bordeaux, Cognac and Angouleme with great ease. It's also very close to a number of tranquil swimming lake beaches, a leisure quarry is nearby for jet skiing and it's only 90 minutes to the coast. There are an abundance of outdoor activities, swimming, cycling, horse riding or just enjoy relaxing by the pool, soaking up the sun.
FANTASTIC FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN! Practical safe layout with flexibility. We can provide high chairs for more than one infant if we are given advance notice.
With ALL local village amenities, tourist attractions in easy reach and all roads links to major airports and routes to the ferry ports a comfortable distance drive away, you can enjoy all the convenience of a great French holiday location.
Perfectly placed, only a hop skip and a jump away from restaurants, shopping and the refreshing swimming lake beaches, cycling, tennis, hiking, water parks, sailing, sandy surfing beaches and the flora and fauna filled Gironde estuary. Not forgetting wine and Cognac tasting of course!
There is so much to do for all ages. Paris can be reached in only a 2.5hr train journey for a special brand of shopping day trip or romantic overnight visit. Bordeaux 1hr, Cognac 40mins, Aubeterre Sur Dronne 25mins and Angouleme 30mins away. Also Saint Emillion is only a short scenic 1hr drive away or adventure into the Dordogne 1hr, just take your pick. La Mirabelle is situated in an excellent location to enjoy the famous Cognac Houses and the world renowned vineyards of South West France.
If all that sounds like to much hard work you can simply just relax and enjoy the beautiful views here and sunbathe by the pool. We are flanked by lines of vines, on a very quiet country lane, sunflowers either side, perfect for little ones to cycle or skate.
'La Mirabelle' boasts wonderful views punctuated with fields of vivid sunflowers, maize and golden corn. It has a vista that captivates your eyes throughout the seasons and is wonderful to photograph, paint or simply enjoy.
Inside there are thoughtfully, creatively furnished rooms with oak beamed high ceilings and golden limestone feature walls. A fresh open plan kitchen, dining room and lounge. Three bedrooms in total and two bathrooms with recently renovated showers in both, one en-suite and one with a handy utility area. There is one twin bedroom and a double both equally proportioned and sharing a shower room.
The third bedroom is a king size master bedroom and the largest bedroom. The master bedroom has its own spacious en-suite bathroom with large shower and roll top bath. It also has a private door opening onto one of the outdoor terraces, so parents can sneak outside to share a glass of wine and watch the sunset. The cottage has a large area of lawn for children to play freely. The pool and full gardens will be for your exclusive use.
The lovely swimming pool 10m x5m is set away from the principle house 'Manoir d'Aulagnes'. The pool has a safety alarm installed conforming to insurance and for safety and peace of mind. You can sunbathe by the pool or join your children for a swim with ease.
The cottage is extremely well equipped to ensure you are able to enjoy a home away from home. There is outdoor furniture for relaxing and to enjoy that very special brand of French outdoor living and eating. There are some spectacular sunsets to be viewed from the patio.
'La Mirabelle Petite Maison' is a very special French getaway, a holiday with versatility for families, it offers something for everyone.

We wanted to stay forever…. It was pure bliss. Kirsten and Keith went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We incurred a delay in getting to the location but a late check in was no problem. The pool is fabulous and the views of the surrounding landscape are indescribable. Our neighbours were pidgeons, owls, cats and birds of prey. The house has everything you could wish for and we lost count of the number of gardens and terraces we could use. Would whole heartedly recommend and would absolutely love to come and visit again.

We have spent 2 briliant weeks at Aulagnes, despite the weather…. What a great place! Just everything is perfect, The views, the (hikes in the) surroundings, The swimming pool, pingpong table, the big veranda of The main house which was perfect when we had the bbq with (18) friends whilst it was raining, a perfect well equipped gite but above all the great hospitality of Keith and Kirsten. They really make you feel special and took very good care of us and everything!! Many thanks to you both for sharing your French paradise with us ! We will be back!!

This is a fantastic place to go if you want to get away from it all and find some peace. We are a family from London with 3 children (5, 10 and 13) and spent 2 weeks in the gite. The setting is beautiful - in the middle of sunflower and corn fields and so peaceful. Very few cars ever pass by and you can spend the day hearing only the wildlife and birds.
The pool is lovely and we were in it every day. There's also table tennis, space for games and running around, a trampoline and pool table and table football. It's perfect for a family of our size and age and the kids loved it.
The gite is great. Good size and well equipped. The kitchen has a gas hob and oven and most of what you need. We used the charcoal barbecue most days overlooking the fields.
All the communication with Keith was brilliant - he was really helpful and answered all my questions quickly and honestly. We had a great holiday and hope to go back. Thank you Keith and Kirsten!
