Résidence Pierre & Vacances Le Domaine de Bourgenay

Our property was some distance from the centre of the complex, which worked well as some nights sounded noisy. Property was great: clean and as described, lots of kit - sheets, crockery etc. Lots of things to do for both adults and kids - many free, but childcare did cost (doesn't it always!), though lots of groups for different ages

P&V Port Bourgenay is a well spread out series of holiday homes in the delightful holiday village of Port Bourgenay on the Vendee Coast. The accommodation was clean and comfortable although on the small side. We booked a 4/5 person house for 3 people which was about right. Although there was very little storage space in the kitchen there was lots of space upstairs. Having read the reviews, we did find the staff helpful and the WIFI better than expected and free. The resort is beautiful with so much to do. Lunch by the lake was a treat and unfortunately we did not have time to do the pedalos. There were many pools and not overly crowded and we did enjoy the waterslides. We saw some of the shows and took part in the football competition but did not pay extra for the kids clubs. I would say the holiday makers are mainly French and that is a disadvantage if you wish to take part in activities but the staff were helpful and did have some English for our long forgotten French. We did travel quite far for sight seeing, going to Puy Du Fou, Fontenay Le Comte and up towards St Gilles, but Chateau de Talmont did look good for an easy day trip. I would say this is one of the best P&V villages for the number of facilities and we had a great time and with great weather too.

Stayed in a townhouse with 2.5 bedrooms in the Bocage part of the development for a week in Aug 2013. Townhouse was a good size for a family of 4-6, with a decent kitchen, recently decorated and very clean. Plenty of facilities on site for families, and also lots of activities if you want organised things to do. A little like Centerparcs, but more relaxed. Nice area for sporting activities, with plenty of cycle paths and nice beaches.

Staff were brilliant, pool by reception was clean... accommodation was poor, scuffs etc very dated and basic, one flat pillow per person ans you have to make the beds yourself . Outdoor space .... birds nest in all alcoves in roof so poop on furniture and by the doors all the time.
