QUIET COUNTRY COTTAGE FOR 2. HEATED POOL. PANORAMIC SEA VIEW. NEAR BEACHES

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 sea 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 nearby 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 bakeries, small supermarket, butchers, bank, 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, etc etc.
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.

Relaxing week in idyllic surroundings
The property was spotless and well equipped. The location was great: just outside the village with spectacular views across the Gironde, and easy road access to many interesting places. Our hosts provided a wealth of information to make our stay truly enjoyable

Lovely accommodation in peaceful rural area.
This property is small but perfectly formed for a couple. The grounds are a delight and the pool is wonderful in warm weather. Liz and Howard could not have been more welcoming and there is plenty of variety in the area with the Medoc, Bordeaux, Blaye, the beaches near Royan and the Atlantic coast as well as charming smaller towns within easy reach, assuming you have a car.

Keep it a secret!
Sailing home with a sad heart. Didn’t want to leave this piece of heaven. Sweet little gite in the most amazing surroundings. Looking over the Gironde watching birds of prey, storks etc was quite something. The pool was so lovely to relax beside. The sunsets and stars incredible. Our hosts Howard and Liz looked after us so well and we thank them for letting us share their beautiful home. Ideally situated to tour the area. A must is a visit to Blaye and the citadel. We also took the ferry from Blaye and travelled up through the Medoc region. The chateaux set amongst vineyards were breathtaking. At the end of the day we took the ferry to ROYAN for the short drive back to Montaigne sur Gironde. We loved every minute of our holiday and not surprised so many people rebook the gite. Hope to return ourselves sometime.

Fabulous gite in a beautiful location
Loved it! This is a small 2 person gite equipped with everything you might need including a bbq. There’s a great butcher, couple of patisseries and a fab Co-op in the village about half a mile away. Good pizza place “Feu/feu” in the village too beside the fire station 😀. Another half mile down into the port which is really interesting and lively. Several nice restaurants and some cabins selling local products. Great place. Want to live there! And the owners, Howard and Liz, who live in the adjoining house, couldn’t have been nicer. What’s not to love!

Fabulous Gite, perfect for couples, lovely hosts, great location
We've stayed in many French gites, Moulin Rompu is absolutely one of the best, probably the best. It is unusual to find a gite of this quality, for a couple. The gite was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped. The location is perfect with amazing views over the Gironde Estuary, the garden area is v private and in full sun all day with fabulous sunsets. The pool is lovely, no horrible chemicals and was cleaned everyday. It is shared with the owners, but genuinely, this was never an issue, we felt as if we had first dibs whenever we wanted to cool off. Howard & Liz are perfect hosts, recomended trips, beaches, restaurants etc and even booked them for us. Howard even gave us a wine tasting of his favorite red from Haut Grelot. He should be on commission because on our subsequent visit to the cave we bought lots! The area has many great restaurants, our favourite probably La Table in Meursac, Bistrot du Port in Meschers also v gd and 1407(walking distance from gite in Mortagne S Gironde port) also good - but take mozzie spray... Great beaches nearby - lovely cove of Plage de Vergnes and big stretch of beach at Grande Cote. Fabulous holiday and would wholeheartedly recommend this property.

An excellent gite for peace and quiet .
This gite for two has underfloor heating but just in case the weather turned cold ( we were there at the end of September beginning October) Howard left us an electric panel heater. An extremely clean well furnished cottage with all the amenities you would expect from a British owned property.Whilst attached to the owners house, it has complete privacy and security with access controlled by electric gates. Guests have access to a large swimming pool and lovely grounds in which to walk. All this is complimented by extensive views across the Gironde Estuary and numerous walks.The gite is also equipped with British TV(BBC;ITV and numerous other channels - a rarity now even with British owned properties in France. Altogether an excellent and very relaxing holiday and highly recommended.
