La Flotte Gites at Mortagne
About the home
At La Flotte you will find four very well equipped gites to choose from, each with individual charm and character with just the right balance between French traditional style and the modern creature comforts you'd expect at home.
In the sitting rooms, these include LCD TV with UK Freeview, DVD player and hi-fi. Internet connectivity in all cottages now available. All four gites have recently been re-furnished to the highest standards including new sofas and soft furnishings. There are new beds and furniture throughout. A new covered outdoor relaxation area with plenty of comfy sofas, overlooking the pool, was built for guests last year.

The Mortagne sur Gironde area
The nearest beaches are 15-20 minutes up the coast at Meschers. These are small coves with safe sandy beaches.
Another 5 minutes further up are the huge sweeping beaches of St George and Royan, each with lots of space and some watersports and full safety patrols.
North of Royan is the Grand Cote - several miles of sandy beaches with some local beach patrols. Finally a little further (say 40 minutes from La Flotte) is the Cote Sauvage, again good sandy beaches.

My dog and I stayed overnight at the Old Bake House (a beautiful gite for 2) at La Flotte on my way through to the Pyrenees. We had the warmest of welcomes from Amanda, her two lovely children and... more |

We knew from their fantastic website that this was going to be a special place and it certainly did not disappoint. Very clean love the bathroom and especially the bed and bedding very luxurious. It was lovely to wonder around the extensive grounds and also to sit by the pool. The welcome was warm and continued throughout our stay. The surrounding areas are lovely and we found some great restaurants. Would not hesitate to return! |

Just returned from a week staying at La Flotte with my partner and 7 year old daughter. We loved it at La Flotte and had a great holiday, The setting is beautiful and very peaceful. We stayed in Honeysuckle which was lovely, well equipped, comfortable, tastefully decorated with a nice outside area to BBQ and sit. It was a bonus to have WiFi and UK TV. The welcome meal on our fist night was very tasty and much appreciated after the long journey. The local wines available from the 'honesty' fridge are good and so cheap as compared with UK prices! The swimming pool is a good size and with lots of inflatable toys my daughter had a great time. The play area and outside seating area were also great. There is plenty to see in the area, we had a trip to Saintes and Blaye as well the beach at Meschers but you can happily spend the day pottering about the grounds of La Flotte and relaxing by the pool on the comfortable loungers. One of the main reasons why we liked La Flotte was the fantastic hospitality from the owners, Amanda and Tim. They made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed our first evening chatting over a glass of wine in the communal seating area and getting to know them over the week. Our daughter found two great playmates in their girls and their two dogs. It was lovely that she could play outside and explore in a safe environment. She liked it so much that she was reluctant to leave La Flotte to go on day trips, even to the beach! I would wholeheartedly recommend La Flotte, especially to families with young children although I do think that older children would equally enjoy it as well as couples. |
