Peace and quiet but plenty to do

We spent a delightful week at l'Olivier. Catherine was a perfect host, and nothing was too much trouble. The gite is peaceful and homely, the gardens spacious and well-kept, and the lovely pool an added bonus. There is lots to do and see within a five mile radius of the house. We'd definitely recommend.

Shame about the weather

Unfortunately the weather wasn't very good and this attracted Mosquitos, so we never really used the outside facilities. I am sure given sunny dry weather the cottage would be delightful. Good location with pretty villages nearby and only an hour to Ile de Re (recommended) and only 40 mins to the coast.

Both gite and shady gardens fully met expectations. Gite was spotless, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The gardens are ideal with both sunny and shady areas. The main house and two gites each have complete independent privacy. The pool is large, clean and well equipped with sun loungers and brollies. Lots of useful local information left in the gite. The hosts, Catherine and Terry, were extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much bother. We even had help from Terry to repair my old classic car and we knew we could call on Catherine for anything. Gold star hosts. We would be delighted to return and would highly recommend this lovely property in this beautiful area.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to have you both stay with us. We're delighted that you enjoyed the gîte, the gardens and the pool, and that you found everything comfortable and well equipped. We always hope our guests can relax and feel at home, so it's lovely to know that's exactly how you felt. Terry was especially pleased that he could help get your classic car back on the road! It's certainly not a service we advertise, but he was more than happy to lend a hand. 😊 Thank you also for your kind words about our hospitality. It means a great deal to us that you felt so welcome during your stay. We really enjoyed meeting you both and would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to Gîtes de la Bergerie whenever you're ready for another visit. Best wishes Catherine and Terry

Trés beau cottage, dans un cadre magnifique et une belle localisation. Beaucoup de balades à faire dans les environs et d'endroits à découvrir. Seul point négatif, les moustiques, qui nous ont empêchés de profiter pleinement de l'extérieur. Le plus : la piscine 😊

Très propre literie impeccable environnement charmant mais une odeur de mouton dans cette ancienne bergerie. À retravailler pour aérer

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jun 2024
Nous sommes vraiment désolés pour l'odeur. Il est dommage que vous ne l'ayez pas mentionné lorsque nous vous avons demandé au début de votre séjour si tout allait bien. Nous aérons bien sûr le gîte entre tous nos clients. Cependant, lors d'une enquête suite à votre séjour, nous avons découvert qu'il y avait eu un visiteur indésirable dans le loft (mais certainement pas un mouton!). Nous avons résolu ce problème et résolu l'odeur. Encore une fois nos sincères excuses. Nous espérons, avec plaisir, vous accueillir à nouveau aux Gîtes de la Bergerie (pas de moutons ici depuis des décennies !).

A welcoming home from home.

We very much enjoyed our stay in L’Olivier which is the two bedroom gite. It was a home from home, very comfortable and well thought out space. Very clean on arrival and neat and tidy. The gite sits in a private space which is well shaded. The pool and pool area are perfect for a lounge and swim which was very welcome during this year’s heatwave. Catherine is a great host who was very welcoming and on hand if you needed anything. Communication prior to our stay and during our stay was excellent. She is a lovely lady. Some beautiful towns and villages nearby to visit and a convenient drive both to cities such as La Rochelle, Cognac and Bordeaux. We would definitely recommend a stay here.
