Stunning location (quiet, rural) close to Cognac town and in the midst of vinyards. The Relais is in an exceptionally thoughtfully converted 17th century coaching house. The owner could NOT have been more helpful, charming and thorough. Every request and nuance was either pre-considered or accommodated (but most possibilities had been planned for long ago!). Excellent food, cooked by the Owner, using local produce where possible, and special requests catered for. Rooms are very comfortable, luxurious and private, with the benefit of a lounge (tea, coffee, papers, TV, games) for the residents of the 5 or 6 rooms. We had a superb if short stay, and would come back to use this as a centre for the visiting the region at a later date. Wifi was not too hot - so enjoy a break with no e-mails or Facebook!!!
