Le Manoir - Cottage & Gite in 4 Acre Grounds of a 350 year Old Manor House
Le Manoir offers a stunning 3 Bedroomed Cottage & a lovely 2 bedroomed Gite for rent in its spacious grounds. We are situated in sunny Charente Maritime amidst a wealth of vineyards, sunflowers and rolling countryside, neighbouring historic towns like Jonzac, Mirambeau and Montendre offer typical French market town life.
The traditional buildings on the site create a beautiful setting for a relaxing holiday. The uninhabited chateau 500m down the lane adds an inspiring backdrop and with WIFI Broadband Internet, you can stay in touch and share your experiences with family & friends.
Holidaying at Le Manoir is all about having loads of family things to do in the safe environment of our huge grounds, we frequently hear from parents that they were suprised that they actually had some relaxation themselves and found they needed to go and find what the kids were doing when they had finished their reading and wanted some interaction. Le Manoir tries to turn the "Mum I'm bored" holiday on its head.
But when you are ready to explore the area, just hop in the car for a huge variety of fun, exploring and sight-seeing. We are only 30 minutes from the fabulous family friendly golden atlantic beaches at Royan and only 15 minutes from the quaint fishing ports on the massive Gironde estuary. The area is steeped in history and has a range of good quality family tourist attractions, several are world class.
The accomodation is very well equipped including antique furniture, dishwashers and satellite TVs and WIFI broadband. Le Manoir provides an ideal base for a family holiday and for exploring the South of France. The 4 acre grounds offer plenty of space to relax and unwind and with lots to keep the children (and adults!) entertained.
Besides the 10m by 5m beautiful saltwater pool, both the Cottage & the Gite have their own large patios with big barbecues and hardwood table and chairs so you can enjoy outdoor living in the sunny weather to the full.

About St Sigismond De Clermont in Charente-Maritime, Poitou Charentes
Set in gently rolling countryside and surrounded by woodland, apple orchards, sunflowers and vineyards and only a short drive from the coast. The local lanes are a delight for a quiet stroll or a family cycle ride when you can spot lots of interesting wildlife including huge birds of prey circling the woodland. When you are bored with watching the sun go down over your BBQ, there are plenty of good restaurants within a short drive.
There are a wealth of pretty villages and fishing harbours to be explored on the nearby massive Gironde Estuary, 15 minutes by car. There are cycling paths and fishing along much of the estuary shore. The fabulous golden family-friendly beaches at Royan and St Georges are little more than half an hour away. You have a choice of sophisticated and safe town beaches, cornish coves with superb rock pools and completely wild atlantic surf. If you bring a fishing rod you could have some really fresh fish for the BBQ!
Royan, St Georges and Meschers offer everything you would expect from good seaside resorts. There is a world class zoo just north of Royan at La Palmyre.
There are a wide range of tourist attractions for adults and children for example, the aquarium at La Rochelle is superb, you can become a prehistoric man and try to spear a wild boar at the Paleosite near Saintes, you can go boating on the river Charente or the sea at Royan, there are caves to explore and loads of the usual seaside entertainments like mini-golf.
The nearby town of Saintes offers Roman arches, amphitheatre and churches to explore and a plethora of chateaux and restaurants are waiting to be discovered. Jonzac (10 minutes) has a lovely Chateau and historic walks through the medeival walled town.
Cognac, Rochefort and Ile D’oleron are all within easy driving distance, with La Rochelle and Ile de Rey further up the coast. Cognac has some surprisingly entertaining visits at the headquarters of brands like Remy Martin.
Heading south, Arcachon with it’s famous Pyla sand dune and beaches are a must to visit and Bordeaux offers chic French city life.
The wildlife of the area is unbelievable - a tribute to the traditional farming methods in use. You will see lots of very large birds of prey as you drive around.

We counted ourselves lucky to find this Gite, complete with swimming pool! Friends had recommended the La Rochelle area and we were not disappointed.
This has been a wonderful week packed with lots of visits and things to do. We have left details of our great experiences in the Guest Book at the Gite.
Tony has been an excellent host and supplied us with lots of useful information.
All in all a brilliant week. My son even rated this as better than our trip to Orlando, Florida!
Thank you!

We have stayed twice at Tony's Cottage. The first year we were on our own as a family and stayed in the Cottage. We liked it so much that we came back the following year with my parents-in-law and then booked both the Cottage and the Gite.
The location and the facilities of the place are fantastic. The kids (they were 4 and 6 the first time we went) loved all the space and the pool is excellent. Tony is a great host and always helpful in providing information on the local activities as well as helping to book tables at restaurants.
The Cottage is lovely and so nicely fitted out. It felt very relaxing and we will always have fond memories of the nights spent outside having a bar-b-q and relaxing enjoying a glass of Pineau.
The location is good for local restaurants and easy to get to shops. It's a little longer than the 30 mins to the nearest good beaches but as we were with young kids it was easy to get up early and be on the beach before lunch and have no trouble parking.
We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend to friends to stay at the Cottage.

Thanks Tony for all your help - the only bad part of the holiday break was packing up to go!
The weather was perfectly behaved and even the fairest of us achieved some colouring. We found some really beautiful beaches, details of which we have left in the Cottage Guest Book.
The downstairs suite with ensuite wet room was great for our daughter who needs a wheelchair and the local disability centre in Jonzac were able to provide all that we needed. We all had a lovely time and may well visit again. Many thanks.

We have been sorry to leave Le Manoir as we have had such a lovely time.The grounds are idyllic and both children and adults have enjoyed the freedom and space.
Tony has been most welcoming and helpful, we really couldn't have asked for more. Thank you. Our daughter aged 8 has written an advert for Le Manoir based on her holiday here, hope you enjoy it!!
If you haven't found your dream holiday home, we have got the place for you! Down in the South West of France, what we have found is the perfect place. With three lovely old buildings, we have chosen this because it has a swimming pool, a trampoline, lovely gardens and it is close to the beach!!

Great time here at Le Manoir. The Gite is very comfortable and well equipped, everything has been thought of thanks.
The gardens are amazing and beautiful, very peaceful and relaxing. We spent a lot of time here, playing golf, flying kites, cricket as well as of course using the pool and all the other facilities. Table tennis and the pool table went down a treat. Saw lots of lizards which we loved.
Lots of visits of which we have left details in the Gite Guest Book.
Used the bikes regularly in the morning to cycle down the lanes enjoying the sun flowers on the way to the boulangerie. Bit hot to cycle later in the day but managed a few runs whilst the boys cycled, lovely!
Tony is very helpful and always on the lookout for your enjoyment plus will always book restaurants if you need him to. All in all very relaxing and well thought out. Thank you it was a great holiday !!

A truly wonderful stay, many thanks to Tony and his children for making our stay so superb and welcome.
Tony is passionate about the surrounding area and has a vast knowledge of the best towns, wines, restaurants and beaches.
Beautiful Gite kept wonderfully cool when the beaches became outrageously warm.
Thank you so much for your excellent hospitality.

We enjoyed the whole experience and flying in to La Rochelle, hiring a car to drive down, was quick and easy.
The garden gave us all room to do what we each wanted., particularly when the girls got a little loud in the pool! Plenty of space to find some peace and quiet. We loved watching the birds and the butterflies.
Tony always close at hand if any help or information needed - thank you.
I have enjoyed everything that this Gite has to offer - which is a lot. Thanks Tony for making our holiday so exciting. I have had a wonderful time.
PS Thanks for the cake and Ice cream!!!
