Summary: Lovely, large house with plenty of space for extended family - everyone enjoyed al fresco dinners on the deck looking at the peaceful view, and the pre-schoolers loved feeding the horses at the bottom of the garden and the climbing frame. Plenty to do in the nearby area - lots of cycle tracks, awesome little zoo, Vouvant (the Auberge food was delish), and 'green venice', etc. Would love to stay again if in the area!

Summary: It was a lovely stay in a beautiful countryside. The house has a generous design and a nice garden. Communication with the host was very good and the host was very supportive. All in all we enjoyed our stay and felt very homey here.

Summary: A superbly located, well equipped and comfortable property, this was a fantastic find. Excellent value, great amenities, lots of attention to detail. A short drive to the forest, river Vendee swimming, supermarkets, great local wine cave, Fontenay-le-Comte shops and Château. We were three couples, but this would suit large families. Plenty to do indoors and out, cannot recommend this highly enough.

Summary: As a diverse party - 4 senior citizens, one 13 year old, three infants under 4, two adults in their 30s - this property suited everyone. Safe play areas for the infants especially in the garden, games for the 13 year old downstairs, and a balcony overlooking the garden for enjoying breakfasts and evening meals/chats with a lovely view to Fontenay. There were many activities in the area - the Mervent Forest, Parc Pierre Brune, Open air swimming at Chassenon and we went to the beach at La Tranche-sur-mer twice. Early trips to the two Boulangeries provided all our breakfast needs whilst shopping in Fontenay-le-Comte at hypermarkets provided everything one needed. There was an immaculately comprehensive handbook in the residence detailing everything from where to locate spare light bulbs to what happens if one needed a hospital visit (fortunately, we didn't). This was a perfect family house which we enjoyed enormously in an area with plenty to do. The sun shone most days at 20-25 degrees but it was not oppressively hot. We all had a great time.

Summary: Our tribe of five (parents, 2 kids, grandparent) had a lovely stay in L'Orbrie. The village is very quiet, but very accessible to the town of Fontenay and the forests and lake of Mervent. The house is super - both practically and for the fun stuff. Practically, it's really five bedrooms, all well maintained and provided for, with a good kitchen and a fantastic balcony that's great to eat out on, overlooking the garden, forest and the spire of Fontenay's main church. Everything you need in terms of appliances etc. is well provided - there's even a French and and English TV and two sitting rooms. For the fun stuff there's table tennis, boules, board games, table football, bicycles, swings, a slide, fresh fruit in the orchard... what's not to love. We found this a great place to chill out in and a good base for walking, kayaking, wine tasting at the tiny winery in the next door village... generally pottering about enjoying a very relaxed and straightforward part of France.

Summary: We would definitely recommend this house. It's fully equipped and in a very good location. Plenty to do locally; we enjoyed cycling and walking around the area and it's not too far from the coast either. Overall a great place to stay!

Summary: The house was clean, well equipped and felt very welcoming. We spent most of time in the garden or on the very large balcony, which had beautiful views of Fontenay Le Comte. Great location on the edge of Mervent Forest, with it's walks & lovely villages and within easy striking distance of the coast. The design of the house allowed different parties to retire at the end of the day to their own section of the house. Handy if different age groups and pets are taken on holiday. Would recommend it to anyone who enjoys rural France.

Summary: I've stayed at this property a number of times and always look forward to coming back. Situated in the heart of Vendee, and just an hour from the coast it is the perfect location to explore the region and enjoy the mix of coastal spots and inland attractions. The house is well equipped with everything you would need including bikes, games and a library stacked with books and DVDs (and now free wifi for those that can't live without it!). It's big enough to accommodate families and still provide space and quiet when you want it. BBQ on the terrace is recommended! Ideally you need a car to get the most from this type of holiday but equally you are just 5 minutes from Mervent Forest and a short walk to Pissot (can recommend Pissot vinery and the crepe cafe) and the town of Fontenay.
