2 Bedroom & 2 Bathroom Gîte Cottage Heated Plunge Pool & Private Garden 86150

Maison La Roche is a cosy cute two bedrooms and two Bathroom stone cottage with private heated seasonal plunge pool. Perfect for couples, families or small groups to relax and get away from it all.

The Gite is situated in a quiet picturesque area close to the River Vienne and a short walk into L'isle Jourdain also not far (5km)from Le Vigeant and the International Racing Circuit Val du Vienne.

The cottage has a cute kitchen/cuisine with gas cooker, dishwasher, microwave, woodburner and Nespresso coffee machine/cafetiere etc with an extendable dining table and chairs. Although the cottage is self-catering we do provide some basic kitchen amenities such as oil, cooking spices, tea and coffee, etc to get you started.

Next to the kitchen is a comfortable living room/salon with a large LCD TV with UK Satelite TV and French local TV channels. Free wifi is available throughout the cottage.

Bedroom 1 is downstairs with a Kingsize bed.

The first shower room is downstairs with luxury towels and some toiletries provided.

Bedroom 2 is upstairs with a kingsize (160x200) bed and beautiful en-suite shower room. Quality sheets and bedding provided.

There is an iron and ironing board available. There are also hairdryers provided in each bedroom.
There is a washing machine available. Just outside the kitchen there is a small patio area which is perfect for enjoying meals and relaxing.

Just across the quiet residents lane from the patio there is a fully fenced enclosed orchard garden with a private (heated from 15 May to end September weather permitting ie. Over 20 degrees celsius) Plunge Pool, a large decked area with a fabulous view towards the river Vienne and the Barrage La Roche, a gorgeous dining area under the pergola and sun loungers to relax on. This is also a wonderful spot for star gazing and BBQ's.

Charcoal BBQ is available for use in the orchard.

We are dog friendly at Maison La Roche and welcome up to two small to medium or 1 large (ie. Labrador) well behaved and friendly dogs (extra fee applies). Dogs must be declared at time of booking so the extra fee is added to your booking and payment, failure to declare dogs at time of booking may result in your booking being cancelled. Please refer to our terms and conditions. 😊 Dogs are not to be left on their own in the cottage. We do expect dog owners to cleanup after their 🐶. We may be able to assist with dog sitting for short periods during your stay although dogs are welcome most places around here 😁.

Your hosts Jo and Jamshid stay in the neighbouring property and will be on hand to meet and greet and assist you throughout your stay whilst at the same time respecting your privacy.

Maison La Roche is a non-smoking property inside however smoking is permitted outside, ashtrays provided.

During the summer there are many free events on in the surrounding area, it is not unusual to have free open air music concerts on a Saturday evening and of course there are the many Vide Greniers and Brocantes to hunt out your French bargains and soak up the local atmosphere.

If you would like to go out and about on foot there is much to see and do. There are several hiking routes in the surrounding area. A short walk down the hill from the cottage is the river Vienne which is suitable for fishing and kayaking.

There is many water sports available along the river at the waterskiing school including pedalos and there is kayaking from the nearby village of Moussac. There are many scenic walks around the cottage and also it is well placed for cycling with many cycle tours passing by. We have an old disused railway trail which runs over the spectacular 19th century Viaduct and goes for miles perfect for mountain bikes or walking.

For the more adventurous there is bungy jumping off the 19th Century Viaduct, zip wires across the river and climbing courses amongst the trees, all within minutes walk from the cottage.

From April 2022 there is a new restaurant called Les Reflets de La Vienne, situated close to the River Vienne and facing the spectacular Viaduct. They will be offering a great selection of French food and also a Vegetarian/Vegan option too!! A fabulous place to unwind and watch the world go buy, enjoy the terrace for drinks, a meal or both. Situated just 400 meters walk from the Gite.

Peaceful, beautiful and relaxing
The property was pretty and well-equipped, and perfectly located at the edge of the village for peace and quiet but walkable to the town across the viaduct. The garden and pool were lovely and served us well for relaxing days. The town is beautiful and quiet, had a couple of good meals in la Maison and Sensations, but mostly cooked as Intermarche, boulangerie and coop all close by. Altogether a lovely week by the river.

Best place to stay in L'Isle Jourdain
Super helpful and friendly owners who kept us well stocked up on free wood for the fire which was needed during the unseasonably cold weather we had at the start of April. This is a very cosy renovated house which has been done up and decorated very nicely. Off-street parking and a garden with nice views just across the very quiet road. Walking distance to everywhere in the town as well as the viaduct, and just a few minutes drive to the race track. If you are going to L'Isle Jourdain this is the place to stay.

Relaxing Stay
Joanne and Jemshed were excellent hosts the Gite was all you could ask for well fitted out and totally relaxing. Breakfast in the garden was added to by the Turtle Dove serenading us from the walnut tree and the views were also special. If we are in that part of France again this is the first place we will look to. Thanks again to Joanne and Jemshed.

perfect gite in beautiful surroundings
We had a week of total relaxation. The gite is very well equipped and there is also a garden where you can sit and enjoy the views. The village is quiet and small, however there is a town a short walk away. The walk across the viaduct was one of our favourites things to do. The hosts were very helpful and friendly and keen to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. we would highly recommend this gite and will definitely be returning.

We had a very peaceful and relaxing week at the Gite. Joanne and Jemshed were wonderful hosts and nothing was to much trouble for them, telling us all about the local area, walks, resturants etc. They made us feel really welcome.The Gite is lovely and very comfortable, very much home from home, with a very pretty and peaceful garden to relax in, with a great splash pooll to cool off in. L'isle Jordan is an extremely pretty town with plenty of lovely resturants and walks. We hope to return soon hopefully for longer.

Het huisje was comfortabel, smaakvol en met veel oog voor detail ingericht. De eigenaars staan altijd voor je klaar om je vragen te beantwoorden. Alles is aanwezig en bij onze aankomst vonden we een aantal fijne attenties. De tuin met zwembad was een waar genot.

Une excellente adresse pour du repos en famille avec piscine privative !
Propriétaires très accueillants et disponibles. Gîte parfait: propreté irréprochable, décoré avec soin (nos filles ont dit que leur chambre ressemblait à une chambre de princesse), bien équipé et surtout... un splendide et grand jardin avec vue sur la rivière ! Le jardin, remplie d'arbres fruitiers et de fleurs, invite au farniente ou...aux joies et sauts dans la piscine ! Du grand bonheur avec des enfants. Des activités intéressantes à faire avec les enfants tout près (balade en poney, sortie à vélo ou à pied sur le magnifique viaduc, tyrolienne...) ou plus loin (vallée des singes...) Possibilité de se faire livrer des vélos sur place via une entreprise du département, demander aux propriétaires. On recommande chaudement !

Nid douillet pour notre famille à 4
Nous avons passé une super semaine dans cette maisonnette équipée avec gout et souci du détail. Nous étions avec nos 2 filles qui se sont regalées dans la piscine. Nous avons bien profité du jardin et de la piscine, salutaire en cette semaine de canicule. La maison est restée fraiche malgré la chaleur. L'emplacement du gite nous a permis de rayonner dans le département. Nos hôtes étaient disponibles et chaleureux sans être envahissants. Une belle rencontre.
