Pigeonnier - Ferme traditionnelle près de La Rochelle. Plages à 20 min et piscine.

My wife and I have just had 6 nights at Le Pigeonnier. What a lovely place, location and hosts.The weather was very warm there but there is a beautiful large pool to cool off in which is fully enclosed by stone walls, so sheltered and private. Plenty of loungers too and a covered seating area at one end. Our hosts, Nigel and Suzanne keep it very clean and tidy.The gite is part of Nigel & Suzanne's home. They rent out the main house to large holidaying groups and live in a wing at the side. Le Pigeonnier is in a separate building to the other side sleeping 2 adults with room for two small children in a mezzanine area in the roof space. It is spacious, well equipped and nicely furnished, with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. The walls are thick stone, so the gite is pleasantly cool despite the hot weather outside.Nigel and Suzanne are always on hand should a problem arise and their local knowledge and advice for places to visit was invaluable. That said, they are very respectful of their guests privacy and do not go in for surprise inspections etc.I would not hesitate to recommend this property.

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.

All excellent. No complaints whatsoever.

Had a lovely stay, Nigel and Suzanne were very welcoming and friendly. Very well equipped, nice and cool inside. Very good swimming pool and lots of chairs to sit around it. Very quiet.

We have spent a week here with our 2 children (6 and 8). The room has been furnished and decorated with a lot of attention to detail. The hosts were very kind and welcoming. Overall a very pleasant stay in a beautiful countryside estate.

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.

Very cosy little gite. We stayed here on a short stopover to the south of France. The hosts were lovely & very helpful.

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.

Really enjoyed staying in the authentic stone Pigeonnier. Had everything I needed, bed very comfy! Set in lovely countryside very peaceful & relaxing.
