A fabulous week in Le Dolmen

Fantastic place with perfect hosts. Bed extremely comfortable, swimming pool, vegetable garden and summer kitchen excellent. Great base for cycle rides around the area. Lovely bars and restaurants in Cognac and Jarnac. Lydia, Mark (and Poppy, the dog) are very friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Highly recommended!!

Superb

We stayed at Mark & Lydia's gite for a week, and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The gite is amazing, particularly the luxurious French style bedroom which is simply beautiful. The outside kitchen and pool area was excellent and we loved eating outdoors, sometimes cooking, sometimes simply enjoying some wine & cheese. Mark & Lydia provided a lovely welcome pack, and a most generous introduction on our first evening there - thank you both so much. They were always on hand to provide advice and suggestions and were wonderful hosts. We didn't venture out too much, but very much enjoyed a trip to St Palais sur Mer which was a beautiful spot by the sea, a visit to the Hennessy Distillery and we also a visit to Angouleme during the classic car rally. The only disappointment for us was not having the pool area to ourselves for the entire week as 4 house guests arrived midway through our stay and shared the pool area.

Perfect Holiday Rental

We have rented many holiday homes during our travels in France. However, this is without doubt the best one we have had the pleasure of staying in. It is located in a beautiful and peaceful location yet close to a wide range of picturesque and interesting villages and towns with a great selection of local restaurants. The gite is beautifully furnished and provides quality bed linen and towels not to mention the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! The pool and outside cooking area are stunning with plenty of sunbeds available some of which are in shaded areas to escape the midday sun should you require to do so. Lydia and Mark were wonderful owners who were non-intrusive but were always on hand to offer advice on places to visit or a wide range of restaurants to eat at, and nothing was too much trouble. On arrival we found a personalised hamper containing a wide range of high quality food and drink items until we a had the opportunity to stock up at the local supermarket less than 10 minutes away. We are so pleased to have discovered Gite Dolmen and can't wait to return for future holidays. Thank you Lydia and Mark for making our holiday so special!

About the host

Hosted by Gite Le Dolmen

Lydia is French and Mark is English.
After leading busy work life-style, Mark & Lydia who love entertaining, decided to stop it all in the UK and to move to France to start a new life in the beautiful shire of Charente with their friendly dog Poppy.
Enjoying arts, antics and gastronomy, we will be very happy to share with you our experiences and favorites places to visit.

Why they chose this property

The beautiful semi-detached Charentaise house was full of potential with many historical features. Set in the vibrant region of Cognac, it offers all sorts of attractions. Also the detached cottage was very quaint even it needed a full refurbishment to bring it out to XXIst Century!
It was a dream come true.
After a short and hard 4 months of renovations, the gite was now ready to start a new life & welcome new friends.

What makes this property unique

The lovely size of the detached cottage was offering a huge potential to create a fabulous holiday destination. Also, the large gardens allow you to have privacy and also to choose different ways to relax: from the summer lounge & pool area newly extended to the woods, meadows, ornamental or vegetables gardens. We have created a space for you to unwind & enjoy the delights of the region: with the Cognac, wines, food, golf & many events such as music festivals to the famous classic cars race of the walled city of Angouleme and the international comic strip festival.
We are delighted to share all this with you.
