COTTAGE

 
 

Carsin Cottage is a cozy farmhouse in the middle of the winery & vineyards at Chateau Carsin. It’s an old stone house that has been completely renovated in 2022. The location is great if you want to see the many sides of Bordeaux. Only 10 min away from the charming town of Cadillac with the lovely farmers market on Saturdays and 30 min to the lively city center of Bordeaux filled with restaurants, boutiques, history & culture. We’re only 30 min from the famous wine town of Saint-Emilion and it takes about 1h 30 min to Arcachon next to the Atlantic Ocean and Europe’s biggest sand dune, Dune de Pyla and the most delicious seafood and oyster platters. Regarding arrival, the best way is to fly to Bordeaux Merignac airport and rent a car, it takes about 40 min by car to Chateau Carsin. You can also arrive by train to Gare Bordeaux St Jean and take a car from there. Unfortunately we’re not on the route by public transportation.

You have the house all to yourself and Carsin Cottage can sleep comfortably 6 guests. There are two bedrooms with king sized beds (160 x 200 cm) and one bedroom with double bed (140 x 200 cm) so it’s a perfect house for three couples. There is one big bathroom with an Italian rain shower and upstairs there’s a second toilet next to the bedrooms. Cottage also has a comfortable bed sofa for which we can put a mattress topper for extra comfort. Therefore, Carsin Cottage can sleep maximum 8 people. The kitchen is well equipped with induction, oven, dishwasher, microwave, full size fridge & freezer combination and a washing machine for clothes. There are of course basic appliances in the kitchen such as coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle and a hairdryer in the bathroom. We’ve tried to make the Cottage as comfortable as possible so that you can come with friends & family and spend a lovely week at Carsin.

There is a big garden with an outdoor eating area at your disposal and you have access to the swimming pool. The pool is shared with the Berglund family, but most times you can be there at peace for entire days. Kids are of course welcome to stay at Carsin Cottage and we have a foldable baby bed and a stool for their comfort in the dinner table. Please note that Carsin Cottage is pet-friendly and four-legged friends are also welcome to stay. However, dogs (and other pets) absolutely need to be attached while spending time outside. There are cats and chickens that are wondering free around the estate, but they are kind and harmless.

Cottage can be rented by the week from Friday to Friday. You can arrive after 14h00 and we kindly ask you to leave at 11h00 so that there’s enough time for cleanup before the next guests arrive. Carsin Cottage is literally at the heart of the Carsin winery so while it’s peaceful in the countryside, you will hear some tractors and it can be busy at the winery every now and then (especially during harvest in September - October). Our office is also in the same building as Cottage, so there will be people working during office hours.

Our aim is to make your stay as comfortable as possible and we have plenty of ideas and suggestions for you to do in the local area. We will share with you all of our tips and recommendations so you can visit our favourite restaurants, shops, wine bars and museums. There are so many things to do in the area, you’ll see!

The weekly fee includes the bed linen and towels for everyone, city taxes and six bottles of wine. Of course you’ll be able to buy wine on site, in case you need more and our staff is happy to take you around the winery and give you a proper vineyard tour + tasting.
