About this property

A Gite called La Grange, with garden, BBQ area and heated swimming pool.

The Gite is your space and the garden, terrace and heated swimming pool are for your use only.
The pool is 8m x4m and 1.45m deep.
In addition there is an area perfect for paddling or sitting on the side of the pool.

Holidays booked on a Friday to Friday basis to make travel easier
or Saturday to Saturday, please enquire for split weeks.

You have your own parking.

We have a tourist board 4 star rating.

We are located in the heart of the Blaye, Cote de Bordeaux wine district, part of the Gironde. The Gite is probably around 200 years old, and has original beams and some exposed stone walls.

Our Gite has three ensuite bedrooms and a double height main room with two sofas and dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer and cooker. There is also a coffee machine, microwave and toaster.
Also a large fridge freezer.
Near the main terrace is a built in BBQ. There is heating in all rooms if required. Bedding and towels are provided, plus a welcome pack.

We are in easy driving distance (35-45mins) of Bordeaux, St Emillion, and the beautiful Gironde. The open sea is a little further-1hr 15mins to Royan, and similar to Arcachon and Lacanau.


We are available for any requests, and are very happy to give recommendations for restaurants and attractions. We can also arrange wine tastings and possibly chateau visits depending on time of year, (not easy when harvesting for instance).

The property is surrounded by vines. Within 3m there are over a dozen vineyards. The geography of the area is vineyards and forests, so plenty of wildlife and good cycling lanes and paths.

We are only 5km from the Route National to Bordeaux and north to Poitiers. Bordeaux airport is 50km away, 45minutes (except in rush hour). A train service to Bordeaux centre is accessible at St Yzan, 4km away. A good way of visiting Bordeaux is the tram service, nearest park and ride 30km, (25 mins then 20mins on tram), this is very good value.

A car is a necessity as we are 2km from our nearest village, (Saint-Mariens), and 3km from the nearest supermarket and baker.
The pool is only available from the beginning of June to the end of September, it is heated.

We provide a welcome pack, (included in price), which contains some basics , ( wine, coffee, milk etc) and other essentials.

We don't charge for cleaning but expect the property to be left as you found it, otherwise there will be a cleaning fee of 80 euros.

We book holidays on a Friday-Friday basis or Saturday to Saturday.

What a find.

This is a beautiful well equipped gîte. The hosts are extremely helpful and friendly. A lovely welcoming generous hamper. The gîte is in a quiet area with some easy walks very close but it is not at all far to supermarkets and boulangeries. Altogether a very enjoyable holiday and we mustn’t forget the fabulous pool.

A little gem

What a super place this is . A perfect place for a quiet family holiday . The hosts are a super couple who have thought of everything - from the welcome pack - to all the little things you need in a Gites . Nothing was forgotten . The pool is perfect and much needed and used during our stay as we had a heatwave -it is cleaned every day by this special robot and the lawn is kept pristine by another clever machine. The local area is wall to wall vines and beautiful countryside . It really is a super place . We had a great holiday - thank you so much

We had a wonderful holiday at La Grange, the house was the best equipped holiday home that we have ever stayed in! It was literally a home from home! The bedrooms all had en suites which was great when we all needed showers at the end of the day! The swimming pool was a great depth and size, and the whole family spent most of our time beside it! Our hosts Isabelle and Stephen could not have been more welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely try and return to this property in the future! Thank you for a great French experience!

Wonderful house, amazing hosts

We stayed at Isabelle and Stephen's gite for a week and had a wonderful time - the location is perfect for exploring the Bordeaux area (wine tasting, visiting markets) and the house and backyard are so well set up you don't even have to leave. The house is gorgeous and Isabelle and Stephen have thought of everything in terms of what you might need including a lovely welcome basket, games, DVDs, household items and great kitchen. In addition they are very helpful with recommendations and bookings! The pool and back garden were the perfect place for enjoying lunch/lazy afternoons. We traveled with our three young children and the place was great for them - if you have a new walker there are a few steps that you need to watch them on. Overall we could not recommend the place more and we hope to come again, next time for a longer stay!

A beautiful place to stay! Definitely book!

We had an amazing time at Saint Mariens. The property is absolutely gorgeous. It is in a lovely, quiet area but is within easy reach of many places like Saint Emilion, Royan, La Rochelle, Blaye, Bourg etc. There are supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, etc all within a 5 minute drive. If you are a runner the local lanes are perfect for a jog. Isabelle and Stephen are perfect hosts. They invited us for an apéro one evening which was a highlight of the stay. The house is in great condition. They have thought of anything - so many things are provided to help you with any washing, cooking you need to do. The English TV channels on the tv are great too. The wifi was more than adequate for the 4 of us. The three bedrooms are lovely - you can easily fit 6 into the house and you will not feel hemmed in. The pool area is a god send. It is beautifully designed and provides much needed relief on those hot French days. There are plenty of loungers, chairs and even a comfortable sofa next to the pool. We really cannot think of any negatives about this property. We stayed for ten nights in July/August 2019. Communication between ourselves and Isabelle/Stephen before and during the stay was spot on. Do make sure you take up the offer of a visit to the Chateau where Isabelle works - it was fascinating! The welcome pack of wine, saucissons, crisps, water, milk etc was a lovely touch. We recommend this property without reservation! Go for it and book it!

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Wright and Isabelle Bolatre

Host profile image
Stephen, I am from London but lived for many years in Devon and Cornwall. Most of my working life was in financial markets,starting in the Stock Exchange and finishing in the Money Market of London.

My wife is French, but Isabelle has lived for more years in England than France, her background is in wine and catering. She now works part time in a local chateau helping with administration and the business of wine.

Why they chose this property

Before we moved to France, we embarked on a 7 week road trip around many different areas of France, visiting over 20 properties and seeing dozens more. We visited towns and cities like Narbonne, Montpelier, Cahors and Bergerac. The Dordogne area, Languedoc and Roussillon and into the foothills of the Pyrenees.
We saw some great towns, but no where entralled us quite like Bordeaux. Then to drive through fields of vines and to realise that we would be in the middle of the Bordeaux wine area was really quite exciting.

That all set the scene for visiting 1 Souchet. We found a house with a separate house (Gite) that was for us just what we were looking for. A comfortable house with a separate Gite that had rustic charm, rural but not remote and near enough to Bordeaux to be able to take advantage of it and the surrounding region.

What makes this property unique

Being in the middle of vineyards, but not miles from anywhere.
