Cafardeux
La présence de cafards (dans la salle à manger, dans les chambres, les salles d'eau, etc.) nous a obligés à rentrer chez nous 6 jours avant la fin de la période de location. Le propriétaire ne nous a pourtant proposé aucun remboursement, même partiel, ni aucune compensation. Pas un mot d'excuses non plus. Il était seulement soucieux de se plaindre de son sort et de prouver qu'il ne pouvait pas s'agir de cafards, pour ne pas avoir de mauvaise note sur Abritel, et cela malgré les cadavres de ces nuisibles que nous lui avons présentés. Cette mauvaise foi intolérable aura eu raison de notre indulgence à son égard. Nos vacances gâchées ne l'ont pas beaucoup ému, et nous avons vite compris que ce n'était pas son affaire : cette indifférence au sort d'autrui (malgré un accueil en apparence "chaleureux") est sans doute le point le plus désolant de ce séjour calamiteux. Le propriétaire fera sans doute suivre notre message d'une réponse qui sera interminable, qui dira qu'il se consacre nuit et jour au "bien-être de ses "clients", et qui justifiera l'injustifiable. Nous lui laissons donc un peu de place pour s'étendre, et nous ne parlerons pas de la propreté plus que douteuse de la maison (puisque "le ménage a été fait à fond", paraît-il), ni de l'inconfort des lits (l'un d'eux s'est effondré dès la première nuit), ni de la fuite de la piscine qu'il fallait chaque jour alimenter en eau froide, nous privant des baignades tant attendues. Bonne chance à nos successeurs.

Wonderful place to relax and switch off
It was really relaxing we had our two little dogs with us and they loved exploring the shaded areas. Loved having our lunch around the pool and dinner outside the kitchen door in the shade. Mike was very helpful and easy to get hold of. Only criticism the bedding, towels and mattress were aged and need to be replaced. Looking forward to returning next year.

dirty on arrival, exterior doors wouldnt lock, we weren't told
the owner would come almost every sunny day 4 or 5 days a week to do the pool chemicals and clean the pool, he was there for the best part of three hours, so we werent able to use the pool at this time and neither felt we could use the pool area. The house on arrival :- the hinges were half off the cupboard that housed the dishwasher, the door came of completely the first week. the patio door from the primary bedroom to the garden wouldn't close the first night, all windows and doors on arrival were open wide, the owner had to come back that first night to help close it. It remained locked for the whole of our time there. the double bed upstairs broke the first week and remained like that. The pool area - the outside kitchen hadn't been cleaned when we arrived ..fat and dirt on the tiled floor of the exterior kitchen was dirty and remained that way for three weeks. We didn't use it. Pool dirty - the pump wasn't working properly or at all pool leaked and was never at a good temperature MOST IMPORTANT Three days before our holiday ended, we found the exterior door from the kitchen didn't lock properly, on pushing the door once supposedly locked it opened very easily again. we'd been leaving all our laptops, ipads, passports -everything important - it was available for anyone to wander in and take our stuff The owner knew this and said it was why he'd put a little wooden block against the door. he failed to tell us however. a massive deep clean and high maintenance needed

Lovely house in the country
Lovely house in quiet location, surrounded by wildlife (we loved hearing all the nightingales) but very close to La Châtaigneraie for supermarket etc.

About the host

Hosted by Clare & Michael Wallace

Host profile image
Clare and Michael Wallace are owners of the Gite. They had the Gite as their main residence from July 2004 till 2010. During that time, they added 2 extensions; to increase the size of the main bedroom on the ground floor and to increase the size of the lounge. Furthermore, they completed majore works to the garden. When they first arrived, the garden was the old railway line with just the sleepers and rails taken away, leaving a garden with the gravel track and the diches on either side. Work continued in the garden, and in 2016 a swimming pool, enclosed in a wall with out door kitchen was added
Then they moved to Fontenay-le-Comte, just 25k, south. Here, at Longeves, they, with the help of their sons, Ian and Jason, built their own 4 bedroom house.
Starting this year, 2024, they are having the help of Melanie She will be responsible for the maintaining and improving the holiday experience of our guests. So far this year she has initiated the upgrade to the kitchen to add to the new flooring in the kitchen. She will be looking to refresh all aspects of the house and garden, with painting and with planting.

Why they chose this property

La Gare is ideally suited for many reasons:-
1. Good access to Channel ports and airports
2. Close to main roads giving great access to the Vendee and Coast (approx 1hr drive)
3. Good local town with main supermarkets, shops, restaurants, banks etc (5 min drive)
4. No close neighbours (except birds and other wildlife !)
5. Great views of local countryside (especially the viaduct for beautiful sunsets)
6. Places we have discovered - Maizaille Abbey, The Abbey of Nieul sur l'Autise, Poitiers and its great Cathedral. The Marais and its network of canals for canoeing and cycling, The Mervent Forest with its walks, cycle tracks, rivers which you can swim and canoe in and woodlands all around
7. Disabled / wheelchair / low mobility friendly property - both the house and the gardens, including access to the swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and upper garden.
8. Just 40 mn drive from the fabulous world famous Puy du Fou theme park - a fantastic day out. The Guardian "It’s showtime! France’s best-kept theme park secret: Puy du Fou Lavish family-friendly theatrical extravaganzas – plus a peaceful forest setting and an absence of tat – steal the spotlight at this rural theme park where history itself provides the roller coaster ride"
9. An hour and a half away from Futuroscope near Poitiers - Expect the unexpected ! « TripAdvisor® Travellers’ Choice award for 2016: one of the best Amusement Parks. »
10. 80 minutes from the historical port town of La Rochelle - a thriving café culture overlooking the port, the aquarium, walk the walls overlooking the Napoleonic port and Fort Boyard.
11. Owners live just 25 minutes away - close enough to be on hand whenever required. We have detailed local knowledge and can provide information and assistance to make your stay perfect.
12. Just 15 minutes drive there is the amazing fishing lakes of PESCALIS 150 hectares nature reserve for fishing

What makes this property unique

The house itself is situated in its own substantial split level gardens, secured from the road with lockable gates, giving sunshine, shade, breeze and shelter at all times of the day. The new large swimming pool gives another dimension to the grounds - a fabulous place to relax and unwind after a long day sightseeing, or to simply sit and watch the more energetic family members play ! Eating outside is taken to a whole new level with a dedicated luxurious fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area, adjacent to the new pool. The house itself has been designed and built to a high specification including the ground floor master bedroom with adjacent wet room, perfect for those who like a little seclusion from their children, or those who might find the stairs a problem. The kitchen/dining room is perfect for creating and enjoying feasts, with a large dining table easily seating everyone. There is also a log burner for winter bookings, or even for those slightly chillier spring and autumn evenings / early mornings !
