About this property

A beautiful, twin towered, Charente-Maritime house

Set amongst fields of sunflowers and the famous Cognac vineyards. Les Cygnes Noirs is a family friendly, hotel quality, property, run by a very attentive and welcoming host.

Perfectly located for visiting the historic towns of Cognac and Saintes, as well as the wider Charente-Maritime area. Les Cygnes Noirs sits in the hamlet of Le Grand Moulin, offering peace and tranquillity to our guests.

During the summer months, you can enjoy our swimming pool and relaxation areas as well as free use of the barbecue and two separate indoor cooking areas, perfect for your al-fresco dining.

Over the cooler months, why not settle in front of the large log burner in the guest lounge, where you can watch television, listen to music, play board games or read a book.

Fantastic and tranquil

Paul and Elaine made our stay so easy. Beautiful property with a great pool and patio area. Special thanks to Paul who couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect, even set up a big screen projector so we could enjoy the rugby. If you’re looking to relax in beautiful rustic surroundings, this is the place for you.

Séjour très décevant – informations trompeuses et accueil problématique.Notre expérience a été loin de ce qui était annoncé. À notre arrivée, la piscine était inutilisable et la salle de jeux sale. L’annonce ne précisait pas que le propriétaire vivait sur place, ce qui a fortement limité notre intimité.Nous avions choisi ce logement car il indiquait que des événements étaient possibles. Après une soirée entre amis à l'extérieur et loin de la maison, nous avons subi une réaction extrêmement virulente du propriétaire, malgré l’information donnée avant la réservation. La situation est devenue ingérable et nous avons dû quitter les lieux avant la fin du séjour.Le remboursement partiel ne compense pas la déception ni les prestations non conformes. Nous recommandons que l’annonce soit mise à jour pour refléter la réalité (présence du propriétaire, conditions pour les événements) et que l’entretien des équipements soit sérieusement revu.

Very tranquil.

This is an ideal place to get away from a busy lifestyle. The owners live next door and are very welcoming, we had a welcome basket with things in for breakfast the following day. This is not a place for people who have mobility issues as there are no toilets on the ground floor, not very convenient when you are round the pool and have to go to your en-suite bathroom, the stairs leading to the bedrooms are extremely narrow and steep. There are no restaurants or cafés nearby so self catering is essential. We had a very relaxing stay.
