Self Catering Carcans Holiday Home with Private Pool in Gironde Reviews

We are 2 families with grown up children. We had a wonderful stay in Chez resinier. We spent most of the time lounging round the pool and eating alfresco.

The house was very comfortable and well equipped for all our needs.

The owner Vivien was a pleasure to deal with and sent us very comprehensive guides to the house and all the facilities in the surrounding area.

When we arrived we were met by Aude who was very friendly and was only too happy to help us with all our various questions about the house and surrounding area.

Would we recommend this house to our friends? Would we come again? Absolutely on both counts.

We were a family of four adults and had a fantastic week in this villa. We cook a lot rather than eat out so were pleased to find a kitchen with everything we needed. The main bedroom with en suite was beautiful and the swimming pool was essential as we had a heat wave when we visited. The villa has a quaint rustic charm which made you feel immediately at home and relaxed. There was no noise or disturbance. Aude across the road was excellent. One of the party hired a bike for the week - it looked brand new and the service was excellent. Good wifi and TV. We visited Chateau Spleen in nearby Moulis for a vineyard tour and tasting which was excellent. Hourtin Plage was the best beach for us, much quieter than the others. If you want a relaxing week with no fuss then this is recommended.

We spent a delightful week in this quiet country house near Carcans. The house is on a large lawned property within a cluster of homes surrounded by pine forest.. It is very quiet, yet just minutes away from town and stores. The house itself is spacious,comfortable, clean, and well-furnished. We appreciated the large, well-equipped kitchen and that large dining table that allowed us to spread out our computers at one end and still have room for meals. All the appliances and bathroom fixtures worked great. Full dishwasher and clothes washer. Great internet access. The property is large enough to allow one to spend the day at the house or by the pool. And, it is very close to cute villages like Carcans, Hourtin, and Lacanau Plage. Pauillac, at the heart of the Medoc wine country is only 20 minutes away. Lots of wine chateaux and estates to visit, another great experience. There are plenty of large stores close enough to provision with whatever is desired. The nearby manager is very helpful and speaks good English. She helped us rent bikes to explore the wonderful new asphalted bike paths leading to Carcans, Maubuisson, and Hourtin. We certainly recommend this house to anyone who likes to enjoy the countryside but also wants sites to see and outdoor activities to enjoy.

Maison très sympa et spacieuse. La piscine est très bien, le tout dans un environnement calme et assez sauvage derrière le lac. Les enfants ont adoré, beaucoup d'activités à Bombannes et l'océan n'est pas loin.

Really nice property in quiet environment. Kids love the swimming pool, all the activities in Bombanne and the ocean. Aude looking after the property is great, very helpful and you have fresh bread and croissants every morning.

Lovely homely feel but with all mod cons and plenty of space. Quiet enough to feel you're in the middle of nowhere but close enough to cycle into Carcans. Perfect sized pool but if you don't fancy lounging around a trip to nearby Maubuisson lake beach or be spoilt for choice of surfing beaches. We had a really good time.

we loved this place. we were a family of 8 and had regular visitors for BBQs.it is homely inside and very comfortable and you feel as if you can treat it like your own. outside is great, so much space and a great pool. the picture does not do it credit. we played a game of water polo with 4 a side and there was space over. we also had some great games outside including rounders and football. the campsite opposite and Aude the local agent are great and really helpful. we hired bikes which were delivered and picked up by two fantastic ladies. for us it was a great place to chill, enjoy our family and friends and do just enough outings to appreciate the local culture and amenities. compared with other places in this region it was superb value too. highly recommend it and if you need more rooms just hire both cottages together.

Chez Resinier is a delightful property in a wonderful location.

Or visit consisted of just the 2 of us, but the property is large and would easily accomodate up to 2 families in comfort.

The owner Vivien Harris, based in the uk, is very helpful and the booking process is straightforward.

Arrival and departure proceedures are also uncomplicated, with little that can go wrong.

The property is well equiped, clean tidy and has a wonderful feel about it.

The grounds are large, with a nice pool and seating area, and gets the sun from morning to evening.

The immediate surrounding area is very tranquil, with good walks, especially to the lake approx a mile away.

A short distance away is the local village, Carcans ,with baker butcher and cave etc and a little beyond there, the renouned surfing beaches. Nestling between is Maubuisson with its access to the lake and an ideal spot to bathe with young children.

Further afield are the famous wine regions, Medoc, Bordeaux etc to be explored.

Bordeaux itself, surprisingly, is only about an hour away and this could be a consideration for those who would want to consider fly/drive.

We have been visitors on 2 occassions now, and will hopefully return again to this wonderful property and area.

La location Chez Résinier correspond en tout point à ce qui était annoncé. Une piscine magnifique sur un très grand terrain bien ombragé. L'accueil des agents sur place était sympathique. Une maison agréable à vivre, jolie et fonctionnelle. Le wifi marche très bien. Excellent séjour.

PS : Merci aux fumeurs de ne plus jeter leurs mégots dans l'herbe...

With 8 People (4 Adults/ 4 Kids) we found everything like in the description. A Perfect pool, in the Kitchen is everything what we needed for meals with local things; the house was clean and everything usable; the people who manage the house a very friendly and helpful in every Situation; Mrs Harris is working very professional, she answers the request immediately and uncomplicated. A good choice, to make a Vacation!

We were a party of 8 mixed singles and couples, the house was a very spacious and did not feel cramped. It was very clean and tidy. It was equiped with everything you could need on holiday. The pool was used every day to relax by and in. The grounds were spacious too it is not too close to the other house and it is great for exploring in the woods.

We went for the Medoc Marathon and I would definitely recommend either house in the grounds as it is only a 20 minute drive to the start of the Marathon.

There is a great patio area around half the house with a brick built BBQ.

The house is good as a base for day trips to the surrounding towns and villages.

If it's hot there are lovely beaches not too far away.

We could not fault the customer service. Detailed directions were supplied with interesting facts and info on places to go (sightseeing / restaurants etc). The property manager was just down the road if any help was needed - luckily we had no problems.

We flew into La Rochelle airport(and via car ferry) but you could also use Bordeaux which is closer.

I would recommend Chez Resinier for your next holiday.
