We are surrounded by rolling countryside with fields of sunflowers & wheat, close to a pretty Charentaise village with local shop, bar, post office and a local restaurant specializing in local cuisine. Nearby there’s fishing, cycling, pony riding and lovely country walks.
WIFI is available in each of the properties.
Outside there's a seating area for each of the gites, bbq, large garden, children's play area and free use of cycles. There is a large 11x5 meter swimming pool secured by stone walls and a locked gate for safety reasons.
There is one off road parking space per gite in the courtyard of the farm.

Perfect charm and great host!
Second time staying here and I love it. Luckily I had time to spend with Nigel and Suzy this time and truly enjoyed our evening together. I have been coming to Charente-Maritime since the 80’s and love the laid back genuine character of the region and people. This area has grown to be a second home to me and my friends there my second family.

Chambre agréable
Suzanne a été très arrangeante et disponible concernant notre arrivée. Malheureusement nous n’avons pas pu profiter des lieux car seulement de passage dans la région. La chambre était très propre. Moins pratique avec un bébé d’un an car tout le monde était dans la même pièce. Mais cela était précisé dans l’annonce ! Merci à vous pour votre accueil !

Séjour en famille avec un bébé
Le cadre est magnifique, très calme. La piscine est très agréable. Nous avons logé dans le Pigeonnier. Les lieux sont propres, bien entretenus et équipés comme il faut. Etant avec un bébé de 1 an, le fait qu'il n'y ait pas de chambre a été légèrement problématique. Il s'agit plutôt d'un studio ouvert. Il n'y a donc pas de chambre séparée mais une petite mezzanine, contrairement à ce que nous avions compris dans l'annonce. A part ce petit point, nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances.

Lovely residence in the countryside
We have spent a week here with our 2 children (6 and 8). The room has been furnished and decorated with a lot of attention to detail. The hosts were very kind and welcoming. Overall a very pleasant stay in a beautiful countryside estate.

Wunderschön
Das Anwesen liegt außerhalb des kleinen Örtchens Landrais, nicht weit entfernt von La Rochelle und diversen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die alte Meierei ist zu drei schönen Ferienwohnungen/-häusern umgebaut und liebevoll hergerichtet. Die Vermieter wohnen mit auf dem Anwesen und stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Wir waren bestimmt nicht das letzte mal hier. Ausgezeichnet.

Excellent base to explore this area
Oct/Nov 2018 - 10 days Property is in a quiet isolated position and is the perfect base to explore the surrounding area. Small but very cosy it has lots of rustic charm and is ideal for 2 persons. Only downside was the intermittent internet connection, if this is no worry to you then I would recommend this property as a welcoming and relaxing place to stay.

Gemütlich
Wir haben ein sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, kleines,gemütliches Haus vorgefunden. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieter.In der Küche alles vorhanden was man braucht. Leicht verwirrt hat uns die Angabe der Bilder in der Anzeige. Es gehören nicht alle Fotos zu diesem Objekt, also genauer hinsehen als wir. Das Objekt hat keine Heizung, daher im Herbst alles leicht klamm, man hätte allerdings den Ofen anheizen können.

Excellent winter break
Would definitely recommend a stay in the wonderful Pigeonnier, everything you need for a relaxing break with lots of little added extras that made the stay even more special. Nigel, Suzanne and their family cannot do enough for you and have plenty of local knowledge and recommendations if needed. The gite is ideally situated for lots of different interests that are within easy reach. The weather for the time of year with being in the micro climate was fantastic. We were fortunate enough to be their when there was a car rally on which was an amazing experience. Thank you again for making our holiday one to remember.

Relaxing Holiday
The Farmhouse is a lovely place to relax and explore the local area. Nigel and Suzanne are terrific hosts and the local area has so much to offer. The gite is well equipped, incredibly quiet and peaceful and the pool puts the icing on the proverbial cake. Our 8 year old daughter had her first scuba diving lessons in the pool and is now hooked. A lovely gite in a lovely area of France. Couldn't ask for more.

Wonderful for winter house-hunting
Had a delightful stay in the Pigeonnier whilst house hunting during the winter. The gite was clean and comfortable with all the “mod cons” needed to ensure it was a home from home, and the wood burner was always a welcome sight after a day searching for our ideal home. Nigel and Suzie were very welcoming and helpful in their local knowledge of the area and gave us invaluable information on the best places to look at for potential properties. The gite was brilliantly located for reaching La Rochelle, Rochefort and all the delightful coastal resorts of the Charente-Maritime. Many thanks for such excellent off-season accommodation.

Beautiful Gite, Charming hosts, Relaxing holiday
The Pigeonnier is the perfect distance from the hustle and bustle of La Rochelle and the coastal towns, all easily accessible yet far enough away to experience the relaxing rural French countryside. Our interest in photography took us from the poppy filled fields surrounding the Gite to the brightly painted fisherman's huts by the sea and the small oyster eateries to sample fresh local produce. The Pigeonnier is perfect for 2 with a huge open plan interior filled with beautiful character filled furnishings and wood burning stove. Beautifully converted by our hosts Nigel and Suzanne the gite has retained it's wonderful old beams and charm while having all the mod cons. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in France. The only disappointment was the lack to sunflowers as the plants were still quite small... will have to return in July next time with the camera!

Le Pigeonnier
This was our first trip to France, we had a great time and would certainly return to the area and this property. We flew to La Rochelle airport, picked up a hire car & drove to our accommodation which only took 20 minutes. The property was charming, clean and well-maintained and well situated for visiting places ie. Isle de Rey, La Rochelle, Bordeaux and various beaches nearby. We were there 20th-27th June and the weather was fantastic - seven beautiful days. Suzie and Nigel were most helpful suggesting places to visit & directions, recommending restaurants and generally very friendly and welcoming. Liz & Ray

OurSecond Great Holiday
We have just returned from our second wondeful holiday in the Pigeonnier. It is the best gite we have stayed in in 15 years of holidaying in France with the best hosts. We can't rate this holiday too highly !! Situation is perfect for couples and families. It has got even better with the addition of the pool. We will certainly be returning for a third time soon.
