La Blatière – THE STABLES (sleeps 4)

Picture your perfect French gîte holiday…

Wooden beams and four poster bed… cosy bedrooms, iron bedsteads and fresh linen… lazy lengths in the all year round heated pool… neighbouring village, with boulangerie and bistro… or dine al fresco beneath the twinkling stars and fairy lights…La Blatière has it all… and more.

Just over an hour’s drive from La Rochelle, Nantes and Poitiers airports and within easy reach of Ferry Ports and the TGV (high-speed train) network, The Stables at La Blatière makes a beautiful setting for your French adventure.

Set in half an acre of land with fruit trees, plants and lawns and surrounded by winding lanes and farmland, the newly redecorated Stables comes complete with a shared all year round heated covered swimming pool with inflatables free Wifi, books, DVD's, bikes, fitness room, indoor and outdoor games, terrace, outdoor dining area, BBQ, garden, a shared outdoor infrared sauna and an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging point. Our little part of south-western France also boasts 2400 hours of sunshine a year making it the second sunniest part of France and the perfect place to enjoy an all year round holiday and the peace and tranquility of country living but still be close to all that Poitou-Charantes has to offer.

This perfect, easy-to-reach location means there are so many wonderful things to do on your doorstep or slightly further afield. A leisurely stroll will take you into the local village for a coffee or to pick up a baguette or 10 mins along the road try Go Karting or the Parc Aventure with the kids, fishing at Pescalis or Moncoutant with its restaurants and market. Then just a little further away you can explore the beautiful cites of Niort, Poitiers and La Rochelle, go golfing at Bressuire enjoy the excitement of Futurescope, step back in time at Puy du Fou. Why not visit the wolves at the Zoodyssee or enjoy a relaxing day boating along the canals of France’s own Green Venice and there is so much more too… you will be spoilt for choice!

We can’t wait to welcome you to La Blatière – and with over 80 five star reviews from guests who have stayed with us - it truly is your little piece of French heaven…

Simply Superb

Lesley and Paul welcomed us with warmth and showed us around their lovely property. We have stayed at many Gites and holiday homes across France and I think its fair to say that the experience for us was as good if not better than anywhere we have stayed. The house had everything we could have needed. Very comfortable, clean and property that could easily accommodate four people. We had a fantastic evening with Lesley (Paul had nipped back to England) talking about all sorts and as a result suffered probably one of the worst hangovers of our lives, a lovely evening all the same thank you.

About your hosts

Paul and I dreamt of relocating to France so we left our careers in advertising and finance in Edinburgh, hired a motorhome and set out to travel around the country until we found the perfect location.

And we found La Blatière…

We loved the idyllic rural setting, the charm of the stables and farmhouse and the overall sunny climate. Its location close to everything this wonderful region has to offer made it the perfect place for us to invite guests to.

Since making it our home, it’s lived up to all we hoped it would be and the warmth and friendliness of the local people has been so touching. We look forward to welcoming you to La Blatière too…

Lesley & Paul
