Excellent pool, charming small group of gites, lovely walk to nearby village but few facilities there (although bread available from dispenser next to Mairie). Good boulangerie at le Thou a short drive away. We enjoyed exploring La Rochelle and going to the nearest beaches. Owners live on-site and were very helpful.

Chambre agréable

Suzanne a été très arrangeante et disponible concernant notre arrivée. Malheureusement nous n’avons pas pu profiter des lieux car seulement de passage dans la région. La chambre était très propre. Moins pratique avec un bébé d’un an car tout le monde était dans la même pièce. Mais cela était précisé dans l’annonce ! Merci à vous pour votre accueil !

Séjour en famille avec un bébé

Le cadre est magnifique, très calme. La piscine est très agréable. Nous avons logé dans le Pigeonnier. Les lieux sont propres, bien entretenus et équipés comme il faut. Etant avec un bébé de 1 an, le fait qu'il n'y ait pas de chambre a été légèrement problématique. Il s'agit plutôt d'un studio ouvert. Il n'y a donc pas de chambre séparée mais une petite mezzanine, contrairement à ce que nous avions compris dans l'annonce. A part ce petit point, nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances.

Perfect charm and great host!

Second time staying here and I love it. Luckily I had time to spend with Nigel and Suzy this time and truly enjoyed our evening together. I have been coming to Charente-Maritime since the 80’s and love the laid back genuine character of the region and people. This area has grown to be a second home to me and my friends there my second family.

Wunderschön

Das Anwesen liegt außerhalb des kleinen Örtchens Landrais, nicht weit entfernt von La Rochelle und diversen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die alte Meierei ist zu drei schönen Ferienwohnungen/-häusern umgebaut und liebevoll hergerichtet. Die Vermieter wohnen mit auf dem Anwesen und stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wir waren bestimmt nicht das letzte mal hier. Ausgezeichnet.

Excellent base to explore this area

Oct/Nov 2018 - 10 days Property is in a quiet isolated position and is the perfect base to explore the surrounding area. Small but very cosy it has lots of rustic charm and is ideal for 2 persons. Only downside was the intermittent internet connection, if this is no worry to you then I would recommend this property as a welcoming and relaxing place to stay.

Gemütlich

Wir haben ein sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, kleines,gemütliches Haus vorgefunden. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieter.In der Küche alles vorhanden was man braucht. Leicht verwirrt hat uns die Angabe der Bilder in der Anzeige. Es gehören nicht alle Fotos zu diesem Objekt, also genauer hinsehen als wir. Das Objekt hat keine Heizung, daher im Herbst alles leicht klamm, man hätte allerdings den Ofen anheizen können.

Excellent winter break

Would definitely recommend a stay in the wonderful Pigeonnier, everything you need for a relaxing break with lots of little added extras that made the stay even more special. Nigel, Suzanne and their family cannot do enough for you and have plenty of local knowledge and recommendations if needed. The gite is ideally situated for lots of different interests that are within easy reach. The weather for the time of year with being in the micro climate was fantastic. We were fortunate enough to be their when there was a car rally on which was an amazing experience. Thank you again for making our holiday one to remember.

Relaxing Holiday

The Farmhouse is a lovely place to relax and explore the local area. Nigel and Suzanne are terrific hosts and the local area has so much to offer. The gite is well equipped, incredibly quiet and peaceful and the pool puts the icing on the proverbial cake. Our 8 year old daughter had her first scuba diving lessons in the pool and is now hooked. A lovely gite in a lovely area of France. Couldn't ask for more.
