My wife and I have just had 6 nights at Le Pigeonnier. What a lovely place, location and hosts.The weather was very warm there but there is a beautiful large pool to cool off in which is fully enclosed by stone walls, so sheltered and private. Plenty of loungers too and a covered seating area at one end. Our hosts, Nigel and Suzanne keep it very clean and tidy.The gite is part of Nigel & Suzanne's home. They rent out the main house to large holidaying groups and live in a wing at the side. Le Pigeonnier is in a separate building to the other side sleeping 2 adults with room for two small children in a mezzanine area in the roof space. It is spacious, well equipped and nicely furnished, with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. The walls are thick stone, so the gite is pleasantly cool despite the hot weather outside.Nigel and Suzanne are always on hand should a problem arise and their local knowledge and advice for places to visit was invaluable. That said, they are very respectful of their guests privacy and do not go in for surprise inspections etc.I would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Excellent pool, charming small group of gites, lovely walk to nearby village but few facilities there (although bread available from dispenser next to Mairie). Good boulangerie at le Thou a short drive away. We enjoyed exploring La Rochelle and going to the nearest beaches. Owners live on-site and were very helpful.

All excellent. No complaints whatsoever.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2008
we made the most of our week and the gite is in a very quiet and rural area. A bit remote but a good beach is 15 mins away. The property is adequate but is very basic and too far away restaurants and bars and the nights can be long. It would benefit from more privacy and luxury for the price. We enjoy the area and property would suit a short stay.
