About this property

Fisherman's Cottage with WiFi and views to the harbour.

Our Fisherman's cottage is in the pretty port of La Rive, Mortagne-sur-Gironde. Mortagne is a lovely fishing village in the Charente-Maritime - only 20 minutes drive from the great beaches at Meschers and Royan. The village has all you need for your holiday - in the upper town there is a pizzeria, a bar, and all the essential shops including bank and post office. The cottage is just 100 metres from the port, where there are restaurants, cafes and a few shops - a boulangerie, a cabin selling freshly made hot dishes when you don't feel like cooking, and a little stall with fresh fruit, wine and other essentials ! The area is a haven for birdlife - there are wonderful walks out towards the Gironde estuary, where you can spot storks, herons, egrets and other waterbirds. The marais is perfect for cycling and there is horseriding available too. The house itself is an old fisherman's cottage, and was once an "epicerie" (a village grocers shop) and has a large open plan living area, with a well equipped kitchen, and 3 bedrooms. There is a brand new timber decked terrace overlooking the port, with table, chairs and barbecue. The perfect holiday house from which to visit the tourist attractions in the area - to spend long days on the nearby beaches - or to simply soak up the sun and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this wonderful area of France.

Beautiful Gite - fab area

Lovely gite in a lovely area. We particularly enjoyed going to the port to read in the shade and enjoy a drink in the bar/restaurants. Plenty to do and see in the local area with La Rochelle and Bordeaux within 90 minutes to go further afield. Jo was very welcoming and helpful, being only 20 minutes away if needed

Favourite getaway!

We love this property, the location, the owners... We've been twice now and it's just so lovely to be there! You can sit in bed watching the swallows nesting or sit outside in the sun pretending not to be listening to people walking past. The house has everything you could need without the feeling that you can't relax in it. It feels like a best kept secret! We went in the Summer but would love to go in the Winter, although our favourite place to eat, which is a very down to earth 'cabane' that cooks fresh sardines on an outside grill and serves better oysters than the Ile d'Oleron, is probably not open then...

Lovely cottage, great location, immaculate and well equipped!

We had a lovely time staying at the cottage - it’s in a great location and the views down to the port are stunning. We arrived late and Jo could not have been more helpful, sorting some bread, milk etc for us and getting the cottage nice and warm for our arrival! Possibly the cleanest holiday rental I have ever stayed in - the property was immaculate and very tastefully furnished. I would highly recommend.

Everything we hoped for ..

Pretty, comfortable and very well-equipped cottage in a beautiful setting, a small characterful village with a delightful marina. Lots of good local places to eat and to buy fresh food. Only one wish - it was brutally hot during our stay and we could have done with some (even stand-alone) a/c, especially in the bedroom. We'd recommend this lovely place to anyone and would be happy to come back!!

Relaxing Holiday

Just returned from a wonderful relaxing holiday in Mortagne. This is the first year the cottage has been available to rent and every care has been taken by the owners to provide a clean, well equipped, homely feel for your holiday. We loved it so much we extended our holiday and have already booked again for next year.

About the host

Hosted by Jo and Blue Walshe

We are Blue and Jo Walshe (Gites en Charente Maritime) and after spending lots of time in France, and especially in the Charente-Maritime area over many years we have finally done it and moved here ! We now live just a few kilometres away from our gite in Mortagne, which we bought in 2013. We have always loved France for its food, its wine, and especially for its way of life - we have found a little bit of paradise here - and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Mortagne when we first had a holiday here a few years ago, and we've come back many times since then - we love the marina with its restaurants and cafes - there is always something to watch, and yet it's peaceful and relaxing. There are beautiful walks from the port itself - and for anyone interested in birdwatching it's a must ! And when you can tear yourself away there are lots of nearby places to visit - from historic towns such as Saintes or Cognac, to bustling cities such as Bordeaux or La Rochelle, and beaches at Meschers or Royan, And when all you want to do is relax with a good book and a coffee or a glass of the local pineau - our little terrace is perfect.

What makes this property unique

Mediterranean climate, great restaurants, beaches, walks, river, countryside and places of interest - Bordeaux, Saintes, Cognac. Plenty to do or do nothing.
