Perfect gite in a beautiful location
Posted 11 Jul. 2023 on HomeAwayThis gite was a fabulous find - comfortable, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and well appointed. It is set in beautiful surroundings and was lovely and quiet.
Penny and Mike were so welcoming and helpful - they made our stay extra special.

Thank you Martin! You were wonderful guests and we really enjoyed your company when sharing aperos with you. You left the gite as spotlessly clean as you found it - merci beaucoup for that too! We hope you return one day.
All best wishes, Penny & Mike

Extremely relaxing and peaceful
Posted 20 Jun. 2023 on HomeAwayPenny and Mike were very welcoming hosts and were keen to ensure that we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The gîte was very well equipped and the outside space was particularly good, with comfortable chairs and shade if required. We would have no hesitation In recommending Cousserat if you want a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful, well equipped gîte in peaceful location
Posted 15 Sep. 2022 on HomeAwayWe really enjoyed our week in this very comfortable gite. The evenings we spent on the terrace overlooking the surrounding vineyards and watching the sunsets were perfect. The owners have provided everything you could possibly need! Very thoughtful and welcoming, and were on hand if we needed them.

Fantastic Relaxing Week
Posted 31 Aug. 2022 on HomeAwayBeautifully thought out, high end finish, very well equipped holiday cottage. Mike and Penny made us feel very welcome, especially accommodating my early swims! Well positioned for visiting St. Emilion, Bergerac and Bordeeaux. Great recommendations for places to visit, eating out, including a categorized leaflet folder so you don't miss the 'must sees'.
Would definitely recommend and stay again, FIVE STAR

One of the best places we’ve stayed in France!
Posted 24 Sep. 2019 on HomeAwayMike and Penny were truly superb hosts and made our stay at Cousserat really enjoyable.
The gite is situated in a peaceful location overlooking a fabulous vineyard. The sunsets in the evening were magical. All the amenities you would need are within a short driving distance. Highlights of places to visit included St Emilion, a local organic vineyard / wine tasting, local markets, Bordeaux city, Dune du Pilat and Duras to name a few.
The gite has been very tastefully decorated, is comfortable, private and has everything you could possibly need. We were very impressed by the attention to detail making our stay like home from home. It was great to use the pool on hot days and dry off on the comfortable sun loungers.
Whilst there are lots of restaurants nearby we opted to dine in every evening so that we could enjoy the setting and comfort of the gite. The BBQ was a very welcome addition.
Penny and Mike made the holiday very special and were on hand to help with any queries we had. They kindly left some food and wine for us upon arrival, which was gracefully received after a long journey. Their blackberry jam should win an award!
We very much hope to be back. We would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful spotless gite! friendly hosts in beautiful setting. Excellent holiday.
Posted 1 Oct. 2018 on HomeAwayNot long home from our wonderful family holiday at Mike & Pennys gite.
Excellent experience in all from great communication with Penny from day 1 where she was so helpful with regards to us bringing our toddler. Penny ensured we had all we needed to make our stay a home from home. In a lovely lovely location about an hour from Bordeaux and Bergerac. Easy to find.
We arrived to a warm welcome from both Penny & Mike where Penny showed us around the gite. We were delighted that the place looked just like the photos. So beautiful! Awesome to have a welcome basket of milk eggs bread etc.
Really clean property with all you could need. We loved the power shower and the towels were so cosy and thick!
What I liked was they had thought about what guests might like to do throughout the day in terms of sitting outside. So there is a table and chairs set up for breakfast watching the sun come up, a rattan furniture set for watching sunset...a hammock and more comfortable seating around too.
On our first morning in the gite I woke up and searched for my glasses, popped them on and looked out of the window above the bed. Wow. A window to heaven! Beautiful beautiful sunrise viewing window from bed. What a way to start the day. Then from the opposite window you have stunning views of the neighbouring vineyards.
Coffee machine, english tv, lots of local leaflets and info for days out provided. Desk fan in bedroom- appreciated.
The pool was spotless and my Husband enjoyed a lovely swim or two, sadly our toddler didnt brave the temp of it for a 2nd time! Can't be helped we should have timed it better and gone later in the day when the sun had been on it all day.
We enjoyed a few hours chatting with Mike & Penny and wine on the decking, very kind and interesting people.
Our son was absolutely ecstatic that there was a old tractor on the property grounds he admired it every single day then on the last full day we had there Mike offered to drive the tractor around so my son could see it in action. Truly made his holiday! Wow wow wow he said. Thanks Mike- things like that make special memories for me.
We highly recommend this gite for its cleanliness and friendly hosts in a lovely location. Our only tiny issue we found was the bed made a loud creak when you got up and would wake the other person up. However we didnt say anything at the time- if we had i am certain Mike would have looked at it for us. Choose this place you won't be disappointed! Merci beaucoup!!

Wow! Thank you for this detailed review Gemma, it really brings to life all the things you enjoyed about your stay with us. So sorry about the bed! It is a traditional French style bed made of solid wood - please rest assured that Mike has now fixed this problem. We're delighted that you enjoyed your holiday so much and hope to see you back here again one day - it was great to meet you. Best wishes, Penny & Mike

Sun soaked paradise....
Posted 7 Aug. 2018 on HomeAwayWe loved our stay in this beautiful gite. Definitely a home-from-home with everything you could possibly need for a (more than) comfortable stay. The place has a lovely high end finish and was spotlessly clean which was really appreciated. This, paired with a beautiful garden setting and fabulous pool and we will definitely be back for more.... sooner the better. Many thanks to Penny and Mike who were the prefect hosts.

De temps en temps, il faut se reposer de ne rien faire "jean Cocteau"
Posted 26 Aug. 2024 on HomeAwayC'est un endroit magnifique qui nous permet de faire une vraie pause dans notre vie à 100 à l'heure.
Nous sommes connectés avec la nature ou le calme règne.
Genial pour se reposer, lire, faire quelques marchés et profiter de l'espace pour diner (bbq).
Penny et Mike sont tres accueillants, bienveillants et souriants. Le contact est facile et agreable.
Si vous souhaitez vous poser dans un endroit calme : Je vous conseille vraiment ce lieu.
