The House
This high-quality, private, and spacious farmhouse sits within its own enclosed walled garden, offering complete privacy and a true sense of retreat. Recently fully renovated, it has been carefully designed with families and couples in mind.
Built from warm, buttery Charente stone and framed by traditional maritime blue shutters, the house faces south—simply open the shutters and sunlight floods the rooms.
We can do your grocery shopping before your arrival or deliver everything you need for a barbecue on your first night. There will always be a supply of the basics—dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, bar soap, salt & pepper, olive oil—so you won’t have to rush to the supermarket when you arrive. And since we’re a family of cooks, the kitchen is very well equipped.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Traditional blue shutters on the windows
- Beautiful Charentaise stone walls
- Whitewashed walls
- Exposed wooden beams throughout
- A sense of relaxed, stylish simplicity
The interiors are elegant, blending comfort with character. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to feel welcoming and effortless.
Living, Made Easy
Whether you’re enjoying long outdoor lunches in the garden under the sun sails, cooking with fresh local produce in the well-equipped kitchen, or unwinding after a day exploring vineyards and countryside villages, the farmhouse is fully equipped with everything you might need for a relaxed stay.
This is a home designed for:
- Leisurely mornings with coffee in the sun
- Evenings spent together with good food and music
- Peaceful walks in the countryside
- Cozy retreats from the chaos of the city
- Stargazing under vast rural skies
Whether you’re exploring the Cognac region, visiting local markets, or simply enjoying the garden, Mortafond offers a calm and authentic French experience.
Guest access
The beds are comfortable, the towels are large, the TV has all the UK channels, the Wi-Fi is great, and the house is located in France’s sunniest region—a perfect recipe for a relaxing getaway!
Guests have exclusive access to the entire farmhouse and its enclosed walled garden for the duration of their stay. The house is entirely yours to enjoy—indoors and out—offering complete privacy and space to relax.
You’ll have full use of all living areas, bedrooms, kitchen facilities, and outdoor spaces. The property is self-contained, and there are no shared areas.
The property also includes its own one-acre field for you to enjoy—with kids or pets—for kite flying, picnics, or play.
For local rides, there are a variety of bikes available in the garage that guests are free to use—3 adult bikes (men’s), 3 adult bikes (women’s or teens’), a child’s bike, and a tag-along.
More dedicated cyclists may wish to rent bikes from Bike-Hire-Direct, which offers free bike delivery to L'Échappée Douce along with a range of support services. They get very busy during peak season, so please book as early as possible.
Other things to note
The farmhouse is located in a peaceful rural hamlet. While this offers wonderful tranquility, a car is essential for exploring the surrounding countryside, vineyards, and local markets.
As with many traditional stone houses, the property stays naturally cool in summer and retains warmth beautifully in cooler months.
Rural France offers dark skies and wonderful quiet—you may occasionally hear distant farm activity depending on the season.
Cell phone reception may vary depending on your carrier, but excellent Wi-Fi is available at the house.
We kindly ask guests to respect the peaceful nature of the hamlet and our neighbors during their stay.
