Had a great 2 weeks - one of the most relaxing ever! Enjoyed the Gite, the swimming pools and the surrounding countryside with all it's sunflowers! Had a good time at Ile de Re - especially the lighthouse at Les Baleines, and the lovely St Martin de Re where we had an excellent meal at the pizzeria. We also spent a lot of time on the beach at La Faute sur Mer (Plage de Chardons). Andy and Ruth were very friendly and helpful and our kids had a lot of fun playing with Denham and Fern.Thanks for a great time had by all!! P.S. Also recommend Futuroscope for a cloudy day out if you have one!

Great base for exploring the Vendée, especially with 3 children and a lot of interesting sites right on the doorstep of La Guillemandière. Limitless walking, running, cycling options, through a usually undisturbed farming landscape. The local villages (St Juire, St Martin Lars etc) and are full of interest and beauty if you can park the car and take time to walk & enjoy it all. Puy du Fou (near les Herbiers at 50 away) is a world class venue. Make sure to see the Ballet of the Phantom birds which is a rare and phenomenal spectacle. The Cinéscene (late show) is well worth the effort. Bring a flask of coffee & a bite to eat! It’s a long evening, but it is exceptional. Fontenay (35mins) is full of interesting historical sites, we had a great al fresco lunch in the centre of town, great value. A 50 minute drive will get you to Maillezais and the ancient cathedral/fortress overlooking the canals of the ‘Green Venice’ It’s worth hiring a boat for an hour at least. Vouvant, Mervant....too many places to see in so short a time. Great pool and garden to relax in while planning the next foray. Many thanks to Ruth & Andy for the warm hospitality and welcome. Je vous remercie!

Richard, Esther, Hannah, Benjamin & Taylor – Oxford
Great week – pool excellent, shower good, land groovy, barbecue & all other facilities well provided. Restaurant le St George in St juire was magnifique – fantastic ambience and the food was incredible (we chose the 23 Euro menu). La Rochelle worth a visit – follow your Sat Nav not the road signs!

We have had the most wonderful time relaxing by the pool. Such a quiet, peaceful part of France. Gite has been first class. Many thanks to Andy, Ruth, Denham & Fern (Not forgetting George the dog). A holiday we will never forget!!
Martin, Bryony, Fern, Olivier & Lilly the Dog, plus Grannie & Grandad – Milford August 2010
Thank you for a wonderful stay. A great location, ideal for families. Lilly enjoyed visiting all of the gites, including Andy & Ruth’s house and Michelle & Nadine’s ‘La Maison’. Excellent food at the St George. What fun we have had. We enjoyed the St George restaurant (quite expensive – but worth it!) Hope the next gang enjoy it as much as we did.
