Old Cognac Distillery

Located in the Charente Maritime, a short drive from Royan and a choice of Atlantic beaches, The Old Cognac Distillery is tastefully furnished to reflect it’s history and character. Climb the twisting Charentaise walnut staircase to the spacious bedrooms. Enjoy the comfort of a large four poster bed and wake up to a triple aspect view of the park. Benefit from the convenience of a well appointed k

itchen, shower room and bathroom as well as satellite TV and wi-fi. Open the double doors to the front elevation and step onto the terrace to take in the aspect of the private park and enjoy an aperitif of locally distilled Pineau, or a glass of wine from neighbouring Bordeaux in the evening shade. Step into the secure, enclosed courtyard and wander across to the preau for a quiet siesta on the swing seat or shady lunch around the table. Walk a little further and pass through the gates of the walled garden into a tranquil, secluded space for sun worshippers and take a swim in the private pool. You will love spending time away from your busy world to relax in this lovely house, but if you want to do something more energetic, step outside the property to explore the vineyards and gently undulating farm land, perfect for cycling and walking. The boulangerie for your daily baguettes is an easy walk to the main village, Perignac. There is also a Michelin recommended restaurant [La Gourmandiere], an excellent family restaurant/bar [Orchidee], take away pizza restaurant, village store with integral artisan butcher, pharmacy, florist, hairdresser and tobacconist. Opposite the church is the local cognac distillery, where you can enjoy a degustation and only a few kilometres away are the towns of Pons and Cognac.
