About this property

Spacious Villa with secure private pool, south facing, village location

A stunning and spacious barn conversion tastefully renovated to a high standard whilst retaining all its character. The main gite can sleep 14 people in 5 bedrooms and with La Petite Folie up to 18 people in 7 bedrooms. Tranquil village location but close to amenities, shops and many tourist attractions.

The main gite can sleep 14 people in 5 first floor bedrooms all with ensuite shower rooms plus first floor toilet. The huge open plan living / dining area is linked to a large, fully equipped kitchen with a Smeg double oven, a laundry room and utility area and a large wheelchair accessible toilet. The shady veranda area provides an additional dining area with a large stone barbecue.

La Petite Folie is a separate adjacent ground floor property with 2 bedrooms sleeping up to 4 people. It is ideal for the grandparents who would like a bit of extra privacy or those with babies who might like a quieter area. The main bedroom has an ensuite fully wheelchair accessible shower room with toilet and basin. It has a second bedroom and a second shower room and toilet. The open plan living area has a defined kitchen / dining area and double sliding glass doors leading out onto the shared veranda.

Please note that La Petite Folie will never be let separately so guests will always have exclusive use of the parking, grounds and pool whether they decide to book this property or not. Both gites are fully wheelchair accessible throughout at ground floor level.
Extensive gardens and lawns surround the building with plenty of space for ball games, plus a boules court, children’s swings and slide, a table-tennis table. The 12 metre salt water, solar heated swimming pool is very secure as it is discreetly fenced off with a lockable gate. There are a further 9 acres of meadow and woodland to explore including a small fishing pond and a 300-year old oak tree.
Both properties have Wi-Fi, flat screen TV, FreeSat for UK programmes, DVD / MP3 player and a hi-fi. There are plenty of books, card and board games and toys for all ages.

Our bedroom arrangements are very flexible and we will always try and provide the perfect configuration for each group. All the bedding is provided and an optional end of stay cleaning service is available on request.

We are very child / baby friendly and can provide wooden cots, high chairs, a baby changing table, baby baths, stair gates, potties etc.

A fabulous holiday with a group of friends and children

We had the most incredible time at the gite. A large group of friends and their children had a holiday together and we had a fabulous time! The swimming pool was perfect and really safely gated. There was a very secure gate which only adults could really open which gave an extra sense of security. The swimming pool was gorgeous. It was the perfect size for the whole party and there was also a smaller paddling pool which was perfect for little children who cannot swim. This would warm up in the sunshine which was such a treat for the little ones. The garden is beautiful and expensive and there is plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy their own thing. We really enjoyed the ping-pong table and the little playground. The location is very peaceful and beautiful and there’s a local river which had the possibility of canoeing and local horse stables as well. Julia was a wonderful host and she was so responsive. On a few occasions we needed her input and she was very patient with us and kind. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home and for giving us a holiday that we will always remember. Eyes

Family holiday

Beautiful gite with plenty of room for everyone, indoor and outdoor. The pool was perfect for the children with a lockable gate to keep the youngest safe. Would have benefited from a bit more local information but otherwise a great family gathering.

An excellent location with super hosts

The property is in an excellent location for a brilliant family holiday in a quiet location not far from many attractions for the whole family to enjoy and a couple of hours drive from the coast. Excellent swimming pool and other facilities on site. The hosts Julia & Eric were superb and extremely helpful, definately 5 star all round.

Gite le Pontreau

A large well maintained Gite with plenty of room both inside and out for our family of 18 stay. Julia and Eric were immediately on hand to handle the one or two very minor issues that we had. The property is well stocked with all cooking equipment and ancillaries. The beds were firm which meant a good nights sleep for everyone. There isn’t any air conditioning and the bedrooms did get rather warm on a couple of nights. The pool was very good, big enough for all of us to be in there at the same time and our hosts cleaned it on a regular basis. There were also plenty of outside play equipment provided as well which we made use of. The property is in a tiny village but only about 15 minutes drive from the main roads.Overall we had a lovely stay at Le Pontreau and would recommend this Gite to other large family groups looking for a an authentic stay in France.

Stunning gite in a peaceful location

We have just returned from 10 nights and have had such a lovely and relaxing holiday. We were a group of 4 couples/families with children aged 7-16yrs, and all had a great time. The gite is so well set up. Plenty of room and the bedrooms all spacious (each with their own shower rooms which was amazing!!) We didn’t spend much time in the living area, but it was all well set out and plenty of space. The outside area was great! A beautiful pool area with plenty of sun loungers and totally enclosed for the children. Lots of land to explore and a fantastic outside dining and lounge area with bbq (where we spent our evenings!) Julia and Eric are lovely hosts, on hand for any queries/requests, and they have created a lovely holiday home that we cannot recommend enough. Thank you! We did not want to leave!!

Gîte de charme, super bien équipé pour un groupe avec enfants

Julia nous a accueilli très agréable et a été à notre écoute dès la préparation du séjour... La décoration est peut-être un peu désuette mais ça participe au charme du lieu. Le gîte est vraiment équipé pour accueillir un groupe, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur : il y a assez de table, chaises, vaisselles pour tout le monde.... le réfrigérateur est grand ! La piscine est très bien sécurisée tout en étant jolie. Le jardin est très grand et a permis aux enfants de jouer en pleine nature ! Vraiment, nous avons passé un super moment entre amis et nous reviendrons probablement.
