Family time in Congac Cottages
From the time of booking Monica, was more than helpful in supporting us with ensuring our stay was one to remember. The property was excellent, everything we had wanted this holiday. The location was perfect for us, only being a short drive to get supplies. I would highly recommend Congac Cottages and will definitely be back.

La maison du bonheur
Bonjour, Nous avons eu un superbe séjour à la maison du bonheur. Super propre, bien organisé, rien n'est laissé au hasard. L'accueuil de Warren et Monica les propriétaire était parfaite. Nous avons reçu les explications nécessaires pour profiter de notre séjour. La localisation est parfaite, tout prêt de la rivière, idéal pour marcher et admirer le paysage. Je la recommande. Merci pour votre accueille chaleureux.
