Secluded 3 Bed House with Heated Swimming Pool, Vendee, France - Outdoor Kitchen and Large Garden Reviews

This property provided an ideal base for exploring the area. We were there for 9 weeks and found the furnishings etc comfortable. UK tv and log burner a bonus on cold winter's evenings. Ian and family were very welcoming and helpful. No problems with the plumbing, unlike previous reviewers, maybe because we are used to the peculiarities of French systems! Quietly located property so ideal if you have kids or dogs as there are no neighbours to disturb. We found it very relaxing with great walks starting right outside the door. La Chataigneraie is 5 mins drive away and has supermarkets etc to provide everyday needs. The market at Fontenay la Comte is ok on a Saturday although there is a bigger market at Niort. A bit further afield, we found good beach walks near La Rochelle, Tranche sur Mer and Sables d'Olonne as well as the great walks in Mervent-Vouvant forest close to the house. We look forward to seeing the new pool area which was being built while we were there.
