Excellent house in a great location

5 of 5
Submitted: September 5, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
This was our second visit to Rose Mousse, 4 years after our first, and on both occasions we have had an excellent holiday.
The house is large and with 4 boys ranging from 19 to 10 years old it is important that there is space for them to mix together and get away from each other if necessary. With the TV/toy room and the large lounge/dining room this is easily achieved, not forgetting the generously sized bedrooms.
Evening meals outside on the covered terrace were memorable and the garden is plenty large enough for a decent game of football, badminton or volleyball (and in our case, American Football).
The location is fantastic. 5 minutes walk to the beach - the boys could walk there on their own - 5 minutes to the High Street and Supermarket and 20 minutes to the port.
It is perfectly possible to spend your holiday without having to drive anywhere.
But if you are driving, St George de Didonne and Royan are reached quickly for beaches, restaurants and a large range of shops.
Shelley and Carl were very welcoming and easily contactable, although we didn't need to.
The house was clean and tidy on arrival and well maintained.
All in all, a fantastic week and we will definitely be back in future years. We can't recommend this property highly enough.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thanks for your lovely, honest review. Rose Mousse is a great house for all the family, with an ideal location for the beach, town shops/market and eating out.
You're welcome back at anytime!

Very good family location

5 of 5
Submitted: August 9, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
We wanted a large house, near the beach and village for our 3 young children (7, 5 and 2). Rose Mousse definitely ticks all these boxes. There is plenty of room inside and out and the owner has made a huge effort to ensure many mod cons are available. Notwithstanding this, the property retains a certain period, almost rustic charm.
Dishwasher, washing maching, TV with UK channels, games, kids toys (in a separate room!) all make for a very comfortable holiday. It was also very pleasant to find basic essential items such as dishwasher tablets, washing powder and cleaning equipment in the property, as this doesn't always happen in our experience!
The owner is very attentive and accommodating but without being intrusive.
Nice beach about 10 mins walk away with beach cafes.
Also good beach at La Palmyre about 30 mins drive.
Meschers village is an easy walk away and although small has a decent supermarket, shops, restauarants and markets. The port also has a number of nice restaurants.
There is a local mini golf which our kids enjoyed and plenty of room to play safely in the back garden.
I would recommend this to young families.
Recommended for:  Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Another lovely review for Rose Mousse. As the reviewer says the house is spacious and can sleep up to 10 people.

3rd time at Rose Mousse- another great stay

5 of 5
Submitted: July 8, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
All we can add to our previous reviews and the excellent reviews from others is that they are all true and that we have spent a 3rd extremely enjoyable holiday at Rose Mousse. Carl and Shelley looked after us really well and we made full use of the excellent location close to the beach and the town of Meschers. It was a treat to be able to enjoy some of the apricots from the garden for the first time due to the hot weather the region had enjoyed earlier in the year.

An excellent base for exploring the Charente Maritime or for relaxing on the beach.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: As these guests say, their 3rd stay with us at Rose Mousse, so we must be doing something right! Thanks for the great review and see you again, we hope!

Enjoyable Half Term in the Sun - 28th May 2011

5 of 5
Submitted: June 7, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
We looked for a property that was near to the beach that could accommodate our family in an area that would be interesting especially for younger children - 5 and under. We found it at Rose Mousse.
The house was as described, its is a little querky but has lots of very French 1930's character. There is a great deal of family space both inside and out, the garden is very secure for the children. A real plus point too is that there is a great selection of outdoor toys available both for the garden and the beach and inside a variety of DVD's that kept our brood quiet. For those that do not want to miss their favorite soap UK BBC and ITV channels are available, in fact only UK channels are available via the dish. Car parking is outside the house and also to the rear through the back garden doors. I note this because if you are staying during July or August be aware the village becomes manic, parking is at a premium and I am sure if you go out for the day the front parking bay risks being taken very quickly as the nearest beach is really just a 4 minute walk. So the rear garden parking is a great bonus and is secure. The house enjoys good indoor and outdoor eating areas, bedrooms and beds spacious and comfortable. Bathrooms are a little dated but once you get the hang of them it all works well, perhaps with the exception of one of the toilet flushes that required a little more guile. The fruit trees in the garden will come into their prime later in the year so plums, apricots, cherries, apples and nuts will all be found in plentiful abundance.
As for the local area, at this time of year the crowds have not yet descended and as long as the weather is fine (and we had 7 days of upper 20') the beaches are stunning, empty, rock pools, crabbing, and of course just right for sand castle construction! There is the nearest Plage des Nonne, and then towards St George several excellent small coves with great beaches. St George and Royan have huge sand beaches but take care it can get windy on these two. The Grottes are interesting as are some of the local villages nearby. Market at Royan very typically French and if you en joy your food a feast for your eyes, you will want to buy the lot!
Overall a great family holiday, we all enjoyed staying at Rose Mousse and would really recommend it to anyone looking for this sort of holiday.

Charming Rose Mousse

5 of 5
Submitted: September 15, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
Rose Mousse is a charming character house, with an enviable position, being only 5 minutes walk from the best beach in Meschers sur Gironde, which lies approx 15-20 minutes drive from Royan on one side and 15-20 minute drive from the picturesque village of Talmont (amongst others) on the other. We were in total 5 adults and 4 children during our stay and the house more than catered for everyone's needs, with the two large reception rooms, fully equipped kitchen and either inside or outside dining. Outside there is a large garden, with a good sized bbq area, which we made the most of during our stay. The outside table is huge and could comfortably sit 10 or 12 people at least; nestled under a shelter but within the garden itself, which is stocked with mature fruit trees - which we made the most of with apple crumble with the apples from the tree!

The house has been sympathetically furnished and decorated, with a nicely furnished lounge/diner and a separate TV lounge. Upstairs there are two main double bedded rooms, together with a 3rd double room also containing bunk beds, from this room, there is access to two further single bedded rooms, perfect for older children or adults alike. There are two bathrooms for bathing/showering, one upstairs and one downstairs and two WCs - both of these are downstairs, which was the only slightly sticky point for us as our children (and us adults on occasion) would have to make the journey down and up the stairs in the middle of the night to use the WC. The floors are all wooden, which is in keeping with the property and most attractive, however, wood can be creaky, especially in the middle of the night! However, don't let this small point put you off this charming house.

The position of the house in the village is perfect, being very close to the beach but also very close to the village so we were able to walk to one of the 4 boulangeries each morning for our daily order of various croissants and baguettes. The village is charming, with a market running every day during the summer season and various other activities run by the town council. It has everything you could possibly need for your stay, including a large supermarket - the Super 'U'.

We didn't meet our hosts but Shelley was a pleasure to deal with by email and ensured that we had everything we would need, including ordering us a taxi to pick us up from Royan. We would definitely highly recommend.

Owner's Response: Couldn't have put it better myself! I do put in my ads and first contact email that both toilets are downstairs. But there is an upstairs and downstairs bathroom.
I do usually meet the guests, but this guest came for the second week of a two week booking to stay with friends (who were on their second holiday at Rose Mousse), so unfortunately I didn't get to meet them.
