Home description
Donna and Peter welcome you to Lavender Cottage one of three self catering properties located within the grounds of La Maison de St George. This very popular and charming south facing cottage boasts an elegant 30’ lounge/formal dining room with log burner and cosy sofa with hi-fi and colour TV with DVD player. The kitchen/breakfast room is fully equipped with all modern facilities and features natural stone walls and exposed beams.
An ornate staircase leads to the sunny mezzanine bedroom. This romantic retreat boasts a wrought iron double bed and original beams with pretty views over the rooftops and across the village. Open air dining is provided on the delightful Lavender Terrace within the La Maison de St George courtyard.
La Maison de St George is the ideal place to spend a peaceful holiday – quiet and relaxing – with beauty treatments arranged in your cottage or at the local beauty room. However, if you would rather satisfy your passion to experience a new sensation or enjoy your favourite pastime during your vacation, why not join one of our residential courses or daily classes to improve your guitar skills or maybe to relax with a paint palette. You could even try a little cycling or play a round or two of golf at a beautiful course set within the Cognac vineyards? Or perhaps discover our local world-famous Cognac distilleries and vineyards during your holiday with our special wine tasting tours! We even arrange weekly tours of our local distillery to enable you to taste the Cognac and Pineau des Charente produced in this region!
As we believe a personal service is essential, your request can be for one or more days and will be tailored to suit your requirements – so why not contact us – we will be only too happy to help!
For larger groups wishing to arrange a friends get-together, family reunion, a special celebration, corporate activities or small conferences – the La Maison de St George complex can accommodate a maximum of 17 persons at any one time. Special rates are available for group bookings, please contact us direct.
