Home description
This beautiful example of a renovated Landais Farm exudes the classical French ambiance which is further enhanced by the quiet surrounding village and rural landscape.
Maison Coumets is a recently converted French farmhouse set in an acre of private land in the heart of the rural Landes countryside and yet only 15 minutes from the beach and Hossegor. Set in a small village with a fabulous Auberge restaurant a stones through away this traditional building has been decorated with modern touches while still leaving the original beams and features exposed. If you're looking for somewhere to unwind and relax away from it all, this is the perfect place.
With a large newly fitted kitchen, dining area, lounge, 5 bedrooms, 1 en suite and 2 further shower rooms and a further fabulous lounging area this is perfect for two families or one large family. Outside there is a huge courtyard, undercover games room and swimming pool set in beautiful grounds.

Guestbook
"What a way to unwind - this house is absolutely lovely! We had lots of plans to visit places and go to the beach everyday but in the end we spent most of the time enjoying this gorgeous house and chilling out by the pool. This is just what we needed. Thank you!" Dany Atkins, Cornwall
"We had a wonderful holiday just the three of us. We were worried that the house would feel too big but it's designed in such a way that it works for a small family too. It was lovely that Ned could play safely in the garden without us having to watch his every move. We loved it so much, we want to buy a similar place here too!" Jo, London
"The kids loved this holiday as much as we did. We couldn't drag them away from the pool and the garden. It's great you have so many games and toys for them to play with. What a wonderful holiday we have had. The house is perfect for families and the beautiful interior is so modern and clean, a change from previous rentals we've had. We're coming back next year." Alys and Jamie Pardoe, St Ives
"I just wanted a place to read quietly, listen to country sounds, with beautiful french food and some places of interest nearby. Maison Coumets more than answered the brief. My husband and I, completely relaxed here. We have just spent two glorious weeks here, exploring the countryside and enjoying late evening BBQs. We're bringing the family out with us next time. Thank you for your wonderful welcome pack and hospitality too!" Pat and Peter Cain, Bedford
