We had a fab 2 weeks at the property, beautiful area with many lovely towns and things to do within half an hour.
La rochelle only 50 mins away was stunning!
Bakery and restaurant in the village were great.
The barn was very spacious (5 adults, 2 children) and lovely and cool in the heat that we had (30° + most days).
There were a few issues with broken items while we were there but they were quickly resolved and replaced by the owners, who were very friendly.
Only criticism would be that the barn needs some maintenance in areas, e.g cracked pane of glass in front door, outdoor lights that don't work.
It's worth noting the glass conservatory at the front of the property, which there are no photos of. We put chairs infront of the doors to stop children walking straight into the full glass doors.
I think if you have small children I would have concerns about the security around the pool and plunge pool at the back of the barn.
The master bedroom downstairs with ensuite has no door! Just a voile curtain!
You are also required to clean bathrooms, fridge, vacuum, etc before you leave at 9.30am which we've never been asked to do before in gites or cottages home or abroad.
All being said we had a fantastic family holiday, great weather, and we could have easily stayed another week!

Lovely 'rustic' French gite. Hazel was very welcoming and great to deal with - her and her partner's recommendations were greatly appreciated! We were 3 families with children, the pool was well used and was a great size and warm! House was located well for trips to various picturesque places to see and do.
Oulmes itself is small with a restaurant come shop (on a main road so quite noisy outside) and a boulangerie. I'd say a car is essential but the house is within easy reach of supermarkets and markets in larger towns.
Overall we had a great stay in a lovely part of France. Thanks Hazel

We enjoyed a lovely week in the house, sharing with another family. Hazel and David were superb hosts with lots of information concerning activities and visits. The location is excellent, set in a small village with a bakery, cafe and take-away pizza restaurant. A good supermarket was only a five minute drive away and it was the same distance to access the A83 Autoroute. Highlights from the stay were the solar heated pools, the amount of outdoor space, canoeing in the marshes, visiting La Rochelle and Puy du Fou. We had a fantastic time and would recommend it to other families.

The property was of high standard and comfortable whilst still feeling homely. The fridge freezer was especially useful delivering ice on tap. The BBQ was big enough for the 10 of us and easy to clean. The added games supplied saved bringing your own. Table tennis and badminton net kept children amused when chores had to be done. Overall good area for facilities with a variety of interesting places to visit.
