About this property
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY HOUSE (7ha) WITH PRIVATE HEATED POOL
FREE CANCELLATION COVID 19 (in case guests are not allowed to travel because of legal reasons)
www.cotinetbors.be Cotinet was a wine and Pineau farm, built in 1843. Now it is a beautiful country house with character and renovated with taste. The main house sits on a large courtyard surrounded by barns. All this is on a large plot (7ha or 17 acres) with fields all around and a private fishing lake. The views are stunning. The 100-metres long private access way brings you to the courtyard closed with a gate. The house consists of a large fully equipped kitchen, easily seating 10 people, 2 living rooms with fireplaces, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets. Obviously the house has satellite TV (200+ channels), free WIFI and a powerful music soundbar for streaming your own music. Cotinet has also many features outside: a brand new private heated pool (8x4) with a large new terrace, all day in the sun and with magnificent views on the fields and the lake; a "games barn" with a ping pong table, a shuffle board, darts, kubb, badminton net; a new pétanque field, lighted for playing in the late hours and ... a private fishing lake for your leisure (bring your own gear please). At the kitchen, lunch and dinner (or a barbecue on the available Weber set) can be served outside on a large table made from wood of the farm accompanied by modern 'box' chairs. Siesta can be taken on the deck at the pool or swinging in a hammock in the shade of two beautiful sycamore trees. This little paradise is situated in the south of the Charente, at the border of the Dordogne with many attractions and villages around. The sportive traveller can play on a 9-hole golf court (Longeveau) about 9kms from Cotinet, can play tennis (Longeveau) or can rent a kayak in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (9kms). There are many mountain bike trails starting from Aubeterre. You can also rent a 2CV at Aubeterre and take a beautiful drive throughout the marvellous landscape. Cotinet is the right place to visit some remarkable places like Bordeaux and Arcachon with the highest dune in Europe (2 hours drive) or driving north to Oradour-sur-Glane (1hrs40). You can take a guided tour in the cognac wineries (of course don't forget tasting) in Cognac (45 min) or explore the Dordogne (Brântome, the caves of Lascaux, Rocamadour). Finally the Atlantic is about 2 hours drive (Royan, La Rochelle). Since we consider service to our customers extremely important you will find at the house very detailed documentation with all activities and attractions in the surroundings. Additionally we will provide a list of restaurants and shops. This way you can spend your time exploring everything the region has to offer. Talking about service, most importantly, we have hired a local company (Holiday Home Care) that takes care of professional cleaning of the house in between guests (mandatory extra cost of 200 euro per booking), provides bed and bath linen, but also shows you around at arrival and is available 24/7 for emergency service. In case of questions you can contact the owner or visit our own website at www.cotinetbors.be

Tout est réuni pour se retrouver en famille
La jolie table en bois dans le jardin, le hamac pour la sieste, la grange et ses jeux
Joliment décorée, une vraie maison ancienne qui aurait sûrement beaucoup de choses à nous raconter de son passé
Je conseille ce site avec grand plaisir
Le cadre autour de la maison est exceptionnel pour passer des moments de détente entre amis ou en famille.
Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir la vue des champs de tournesols en fleur depuis la piscine, c’était magnifique !
La maison est très bien équipée et agréable. Nous reviendrons !
Tres jolie maison, agréable à vivre et très bien équipée. Tres chouette idee de la grange à jeux séparée du bâtiment principal. Piscine avec magnifique vue sur les champs de tournesols en fleurs. Vacances au calme avec tout le confort nécessaire

Zeer mooie en rustige plaats.
In de master bedroom was het bed schitterend, maar niet in alle kamers stonden er goede/nieuwe bedden.

Schönes Haus und Anwesen, Ruhe Pur!
Wir waren mit zwei Erwachsenen, zwei Kindern und Hund für eine Woche hier. Das Haus ist sehr groß und mit allem Ausgestattet was man benötigt. Der Pool ist fast neu und auf 28/29 Grad beheizt, auch wenn wir das bei den Sommerlichen Temperaturen von 33 Grad nicht wirklich benötigt hätten. Jan, der Vermieter, war extrem Nett und hat es uns möglich gemacht sehr kurzfristig ( 1Tag nach Anfrage) sein Haus zu Vermieten. Er selbst wohnt nicht dort, aber Charles der Verwalter war immer erreichbar und war sehr hilfsbereit bei allen Fragen.
Bors und die Ungebung sind zwar etwas abgelegen aber Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind im Umkreis von 10-15min mit dem Auto in Hülle und Fülle vorhanden. Das Anwesen liegt extrem ruhig, auf einem riesigen Grundstück, mit verschiedenen Nebengebäuden. Wirklich sehr schön, wir kommen gerne wieder!

magnificant!!!
First of all I would like to thank the owner, great communications, real friendly guy and what a fantastic place he (and his family) got in the Charente.
The property is located higher up a hill and the surroundings are wonderfully quiet.
The house is spacious and feels good from the moment you walk in.
Inside it's very nicely decorated, with a big kitchen en 2 living rooms!
All facilities are provided. Very nice bedrooms en 2 bathrooms.
Outside we have a play barn for the kids(but we also made use of it a lot)
A petanque court and 7 acres of nature!! We brought a small inflatable boat to use on the pond to fish with our kids. Really nice!
Also the person who receives you at the house is really friendly and helpful.
The swimming pool is always at a nice temperature because it is heated.
Even on the days when it s a bit colder it is really nice to go for a swim.
We often went to Aubeterre which is a very nice village or chalais. Both within 15 minutes with the car. So is the supermarket or other facilities you need. I really recommend this place for a very very nice holiday!
So 2 thumbs up for this property and his owner! We had a fantastic stay.
Thanks again!!

Very good
Very good indeed but could be less autocratic toward people in their 60,s who are not likely to treat property in a thoughtless manner.
