Charming holiday cottages
in Southwest France

Authentic charm, modern confort

Set in 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens and surrounded by vineyards, L’Ancienne Distillerie is a beautifully restored estate of 4 self-catering holiday homes situated in a peaceful hamlet just outside Cognac, in Southwest France.

Once part of a traditional Charentaise distillery, the 150-year-old buildings have been carefully restored to combine authentic French charm — with exposed stone walls and beams — and modern comfort. A perfect balance of heritage, style and authentic French charm. 

Perfect for couples, families or groups

Each gîte offers spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and comfortable bedrooms. The largest, Rémy Martin, with its 100 m² living space, is ideal for groups to gather and share meals. In total, we can host up to 20 guests across the estate, perfect for couples, families, and groups. We also welcome well-behaved pets, so every member of the family can join.

Guests can enjoy a 13m x 6m pool, games room, high speed WiFi, smart TVs and bicycles to explore the countryside. With flexible rentals from 3 nights. We guarantee a warm welcome in Cognac country.
