Cafardeux

La présence de cafards (dans la salle à manger, dans les chambres, les salles d'eau, etc.) nous a obligés à rentrer chez nous 6 jours avant la fin de la période de location. Le propriétaire ne nous a pourtant proposé aucun remboursement, même partiel, ni aucune compensation. Pas un mot d'excuses non plus. Il était seulement soucieux de se plaindre de son sort et de prouver qu'il ne pouvait pas s'agir de cafards, pour ne pas avoir de mauvaise note sur Abritel, et cela malgré les cadavres de ces nuisibles que nous lui avons présentés. Cette mauvaise foi intolérable aura eu raison de notre indulgence à son égard. Nos vacances gâchées ne l'ont pas beaucoup ému, et nous avons vite compris que ce n'était pas son affaire : cette indifférence au sort d'autrui (malgré un accueil en apparence "chaleureux") est sans doute le point le plus désolant de ce séjour calamiteux. Le propriétaire fera sans doute suivre notre message d'une réponse qui sera interminable, qui dira qu'il se consacre nuit et jour au "bien-être de ses "clients", et qui justifiera l'injustifiable. Nous lui laissons donc un peu de place pour s'étendre, et nous ne parlerons pas de la propreté plus que douteuse de la maison (puisque "le ménage a été fait à fond", paraît-il), ni de l'inconfort des lits (l'un d'eux s'est effondré dès la première nuit), ni de la fuite de la piscine qu'il fallait chaque jour alimenter en eau froide, nous privant des baignades tant attendues. Bonne chance à nos successeurs.

Wonderful place to relax and switch off

It was really relaxing we had our two little dogs with us and they loved exploring the shaded areas. Loved having our lunch around the pool and dinner outside the kitchen door in the shade. Mike was very helpful and easy to get hold of. Only criticism the bedding, towels and mattress were aged and need to be replaced. Looking forward to returning next year.

dirty on arrival, exterior doors wouldnt lock, we weren't told

the owner would come almost every sunny day 4 or 5 days a week to do the pool chemicals and clean the pool, he was there for the best part of three hours, so we werent able to use the pool at this time and neither felt we could use the pool area. The house on arrival :- the hinges were half off the cupboard that housed the dishwasher, the door came of completely the first week. the patio door from the primary bedroom to the garden wouldn't close the first night, all windows and doors on arrival were open wide, the owner had to come back that first night to help close it. It remained locked for the whole of our time there. the double bed upstairs broke the first week and remained like that. The pool area - the outside kitchen hadn't been cleaned when we arrived ..fat and dirt on the tiled floor of the exterior kitchen was dirty and remained that way for three weeks. We didn't use it. Pool dirty - the pump wasn't working properly or at all pool leaked and was never at a good temperature MOST IMPORTANT Three days before our holiday ended, we found the exterior door from the kitchen didn't lock properly, on pushing the door once supposedly locked it opened very easily again. we'd been leaving all our laptops, ipads, passports -everything important - it was available for anyone to wander in and take our stuff The owner knew this and said it was why he'd put a little wooden block against the door. he failed to tell us however. a massive deep clean and high maintenance needed

Lovely dog friendly house in countryside

Comfortable country house with lovely pool area and views. The photos accurately show the decor, furniture etc. House is in a quiet spot with no near neighbours but only a few minutes drive from amenities. Dog friendly garden, fully enclosed with lots of areas for dogs to snuffle and find shade. House had two wc and two shower rooms which was great. Access to English and French tv. Good WiFi. Owner Michael was easy to contact if needed by phone (I found the messages via the Vrbo app wouldn’t open while I was in France-I don’t know why) and he quickly sorted out anything that we needed help with. Would definitely recommend this property and owner. Thanks for a great holiday!

Great house and amazing pool

We had to delay this holiday by two years due to covid, however Michael & Clare we so very accommodating. When we finally managed to take our holiday we were welcomed and shown around by Veronica who lives locally so knew all the good places to visit, and eat. Overall the house was well laid out with everything we needed, the pool area was amazing with the water at a constant 26deg. A lovely couple, great house and area so would recommend a visit

Lovely hosts but very tired property.

The location was good and grounds themselves are excellent with a nice pool. Sadly that's where the good times end. The house was dirty, tired and in need of some tlc, it also had a weird odour that followed us home to the UK(I think this was maybe because of the amount or Raid fly spray I used to clear the place of insects so maybe my fault). All the pillows were stained and the bed covers had obviously not been renewed for a long time. The towels were also well past there best. little German cockroaches were everywhere, including in clothes wardrobes and all over eating surfaces. we usually done a morning sweep to get rid of them all. We mentioned this to the owner and were told they were european firebugs(they weren't), then I kept a bunch of them to show him and basically said that he did not think they were "real" cockroaches because they weren't big enough!!!!(they were German cockroaches which are small but still spread bacteria and commonly cause diarrhoea). There was also a mouse issue, when we told the owner they came and put some traps down and told us it was just part of being in the countryside which we accepted. What we didn't accept was the sofa bed in main bedroom being covered in mouse poo and base half eaten by them, it was also broken and unusable. No apologies were made for this nor for the rusty unusable bikes in a very untidy shed. The main garden/pool area was also badly needing tidied/weeded and infested with German cockroaches, there was old house furniture also lying about the outside area. This would be an excellent space if properly kept. I doubt it has looked liked the pictures for a long time. Few of the other issues were a leak in the roof and where to put the rubbish. There was a tiny bin so we were told to put all our rubbish in the car port, this sounded like a local issue but would have liked it picked up instead being left to rot next to the house. I was very reluctant to write this review as the owners were excellent and did try to resolve problems we had. There was also a mix up on dates(our fault) so we ended up getting a few free nights which was greatly appreciated but in the end we left a day early. We have seen a lot of replies from owners on bad reviews so expect our issues to be downplayed and made to look minor or our fault but all the downsides have ruined our memories of the holiday. The pictures are not a fair representation of the house.

Not recommended at all!

At first, we were not received by the landlords. The house was not clean at all on arrival! The house was simply dirty, not maintained and very under-kept. Also the domain was not maintained at all. Absolutely no place where you want to spend your holiday! We drove straight back home, I think that says it all! The landlords were not immediately accessible, only after several hours we got feedback. Absolutely no service! If the landlords claim otherwise, I have pictures of the state of the house at our arrival. These I would certainly provide if you ask for them, unfortunately I can not post them here. Then you could see there was still dirt on the floor, seats were broken, food remains in the seats, the kitchen sponges were moldy or still hung full of food, the weeds came towards us when entering the domain, ... In the beginning, we were able to have a conversation with the landlords, who by the way had no understanding and completely ignored the issue. Now we get no response at all. Very unfortunate that tenants are treated this way. So think twice if you want to rent this domain!

Lovely week spent

Made good progress driving down so contacted owners to ask if possible to arrive early, received a prompt message back to say handover had been completed so no problem with this and advised us of where the keys were. We spent a great week at the property, no close neighbours so the grand children could make as much noise in the pool as they wished. The pool itself is lovely, same depth throughout and heated. The evenings were lovely to sit outside watching the bats and listening to the owls. Surrounding area pretty and not too far from the coast, (approx. 1hr 20min to la Rochelle) We also visited Vouvant and Coulon, both worth a trip. The property itself could do with just a little TLC, maybe on low season closed off for a week and professional cleaners hired just for a spruce up but other than that cannot fault.

Great walking from the house - you can walk to Breuil Barret on the railway - about 2.5 miles or 1.5 miles by road, where you can find a lovely boulangerie and have a coffee.

About the host

Hosted by Clare & Michael Wallace

Clare and Michael Wallace are owners of the Gite. They had the Gite as their main residence from July 2004 till 2010. During that time, they added 2 extensions; to increase the size of the main bedroom on the ground floor and to increase the size of the lounge. Furthermore, they completed majore works to the garden. When they first arrived, the garden was the old railway line with just the sleepers and rails taken away, leaving a garden with the gravel track and the diches on either side. Work continued in the garden, and in 2016 a swimming pool, enclosed in a wall with out door kitchen was added
Then they moved to Fontenay-le-Comte, just 25k, south. Here, at Longeves, they, with the help of their sons, Ian and Jason, built their own 4 bedroom house.
Starting this year, 2024, they are having the help of Melanie She will be responsible for the maintaining and improving the holiday experience of our guests. So far this year she has initiated the upgrade to the kitchen to add to the new flooring in the kitchen. She will be looking to refresh all aspects of the house and garden, with painting and with planting.

Why they chose this property

La Gare is ideally suited for many reasons:-
1. Good access to Channel ports and airports
2. Close to main roads giving great access to the Vendee and Coast (approx 1hr drive)
3. Good local town with main supermarkets, shops, restaurants, banks etc (5 min drive)
4. No close neighbours (except birds and other wildlife !)
5. Great views of local countryside (especially the viaduct for beautiful sunsets)
6. Places we have discovered - Maizaille Abbey, The Abbey of Nieul sur l'Autise, Poitiers and its great Cathedral. The Marais and its network of canals for canoeing and cycling, The Mervent Forest with its walks, cycle tracks, rivers which you can swim and canoe in and woodlands all around
7. Disabled / wheelchair / low mobility friendly property - both the house and the gardens, including access to the swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and upper garden.
8. Just 40 mn drive from the fabulous world famous Puy du Fou theme park - a fantastic day out. The Guardian "It’s showtime! France’s best-kept theme park secret: Puy du Fou Lavish family-friendly theatrical extravaganzas – plus a peaceful forest setting and an absence of tat – steal the spotlight at this rural theme park where history itself provides the roller coaster ride"
9. An hour and a half away from Futuroscope near Poitiers - Expect the unexpected ! « TripAdvisor® Travellers’ Choice award for 2016: one of the best Amusement Parks. »
10. 80 minutes from the historical port town of La Rochelle - a thriving café culture overlooking the port, the aquarium, walk the walls overlooking the Napoleonic port and Fort Boyard.
11. Owners live just 25 minutes away - close enough to be on hand whenever required. We have detailed local knowledge and can provide information and assistance to make your stay perfect.
12. Just 15 minutes drive there is the amazing fishing lakes of PESCALIS 150 hectares nature reserve for fishing

What makes this property unique

The house itself is situated in its own substantial split level gardens, secured from the road with lockable gates, giving sunshine, shade, breeze and shelter at all times of the day. The new large swimming pool gives another dimension to the grounds - a fabulous place to relax and unwind after a long day sightseeing, or to simply sit and watch the more energetic family members play ! Eating outside is taken to a whole new level with a dedicated luxurious fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area, adjacent to the new pool. The house itself has been designed and built to a high specification including the ground floor master bedroom with adjacent wet room, perfect for those who like a little seclusion from their children, or those who might find the stairs a problem. The kitchen/dining room is perfect for creating and enjoying feasts, with a large dining table easily seating everyone. There is also a log burner for winter bookings, or even for those slightly chillier spring and autumn evenings / early mornings !
