Great stay, great hosts
So peaceful, quiet and rural. Lovely unspoilt and non touristy area, just as we like it. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Suggested places to visit and restaruants to try, all were perfectly judged for us. Many thanks.

Wonderful Gite
We had a wonderful stay at Le Gite Bernerie. It was exactly as described… a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy family time. There is so much space in the garden to enjoy badminton and other garden games, the pool was perfect and the games room was great for when it got too hot in the sun. There is so much space inside the gite too. The setting is so quiet and relaxing… perfect place for a break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Great break
We had an absolutely fantastic time at the Gite. Superb pool which our boys loved, the games room is great too. The place is perfectly position for great walks with our dog and loads of cycle rides with the boys - cycle to the water towers, the windmills and further afield all on really safe country lanes with next to no traffic The Gite also has a great garden big enough for a bit of football, badminton and generally just messing about in. The Gite is within a 10 minute cycle to the local baker for bread in the morning and a local mini super market for essentials and the nearest village is lovely for a wander about. There are a couple of slightly bigger towns with super markets, restaurants, etc. Vendee is beautiful and we intend to return to do some more exploring - however the Gite is great for a chill out if you don’t want to do that. The hosts Roland & Becs were super helpful throughout including organising our visit to the vets a couple of days before we travelled back home. I would highly recommend staying at the Gite. N

Family holiday
As a family of three generations we spent 6 days in this beautiful holiday home. The barn has been beautifully restored and has so many appliances that you want for nothing. The heated swimming pool was a real added bonus. The accommodation was rural and we really enjoyed the tranquility but equally it is really well placed in east reach of many major attractions. The games room was a real hit. Roland and Bex are ideal hosts. Always responsive both throughout the booking stage and our stay. Thank you Be. And Roland for all your helpfulness and kindness to us while we were there. A much enjoyed holiday everything was beautiful in every way.

A wonderful holiday in a peaceful location at a picture-perfect gîte. Missing the daily walk to buy baguettes, our family badmington competition and milky way nights. Thank you to wonderful hosts, Bex and Roland, and the tasty home-grown produce. I hope we return!

Superb property
A lovely gite in peaceful surroundings. Perfect for a relaxing stay. Used the pool every day - Roland made sure it was ready for use, including cleaning and topping up the water level during our stay. Lovely to either sit around the pool or under the shade of the walnut tree when it got a bit too hot for us! Roland and Becks were very welcoming and gave recommendations for the area (do try the O Clem restaurant in the nearby village and the Mouette Brewery restaurant), as well as a welcome pack of provisions when we checked in. They were there when we needed, but not intrusive in any way. The gite was incredibly well stocked and very comfortable. Our teenage boys (19 & 17) enjoyed the games room as well as the pool, and there was plenty of room in the garden to set up a badminton net. It was also useful to have wi-fi for the evenings. We would highly recommend this gite and hope to go back!

We had an amazing stay, hosts were really helpful and very friendly. The house was well equipped, clean and beautifully decorated. The pool was fab, our children appreciated the pool floats and games room as well. Our family had a fantastic stay here. Puy Du Fou was only half an hour away, and we enjoyed 2 days out there- really superb attraction. Would definitely recommend this stay!

Nothing short of amazing
I don't now where to start. The Gite is absolutely amazing, I have stayed in many, many properties in France, but this is hands down the best. The way the Gite is laid out is ingenius, the furnishings are excellent, everything works, the WiFi is strong, the pool is fantastic, the garden and surrounding area is perfection itself. Most of all, theres Roland and Becks, the most fantastic owners you could possibly hope for, incredibly welcoming, always on hand when needed, whilst giving guests total privacy when not, and of course, I couldn't forget the Red squirrels, who absolutely melted our hearts. Do not hesitate, if this Gite is available, book it, don't even consider others, and I can assure you, no matter how long you stay for, it won't be long enough. We will definitely be back

Lovely secluded getaway
My family and I were desperate to get away this summer (Pandemic Summer 2020!) and we couldn’t be happier with our stay. The cottage was spacious and well furnished, the private pool was wonderful - heated, cleaned every morning, gated and able to be locked when not in use. There was lots of garden space for running and the living area had plenty of space for my three small children (5.5, 2.5, 10m) to play. The views from the living area were gorgeous, as were the quiet walks around the local area. There is a bakery only 5 minutes drive away, and a huge local supermarket a short drive as well. Roland and his partner were wonderful hosts - very helpful and even shared fresh courgettes from their garden! We were very bervous about travelling during the pandemic, but the stay was perfectly private and secluded and we are so pleased we went!

A fantastic stay...
We stayed at La Bernerie at the beginning of August and counted ourselves lucky we were still able to make the trip despite the global situation. The time we spent there was fantastic! We visited nowhere, other than the local supermarkets, did nothing and had a wonderful, peaceful time with great weather and fabulous hosts. The pool is spot on, the games room a brilliant additon although the weather was so good we hardly used it. The gite is large, spacious and comfortable with all the necessary items you require. We took less clothes because we knew we could wash them there, bonus. All in all it was a fantastic stay and very welcome after what 2020 has thrown at us. Our hosts were gracious, very friendly and very informative. We will definitley return.

Peaceful hideaway in a great location
We visited La Bernerie for a week at the end of October and had the most wonderful week. After a long, wet and delayed journey we arrived to a lovely warm gite, Roland met us and explained how everything worked and then we explored. The kids absolutely loved the games room, which was a godsend, they got up early and played and went in there every evening whilst I was preparing dinner, with family competitions after - brilliant fun! Roland kept the pool heated for us too, it was much warmer in the water than outside and the kids loved it. I can imagine in summer it is an amazing place to relax. Whilst in the area we visited the Marais Poitevin, the Mervent Vouvant forest and Puy du Fou - all within an hours' drive maximum. The Grand Parc, Puy du Fou is something else! I know we were lucky because it was end of season and a cold wet day so we didn't have to queue and saw a lot, but the shows were extraordinary and if you are in the area it is a must. The gite is very rural, so peaceful is an understatement, it is pitch black at night so take a torch if you want to go outside. It is a fantastic place to escape from the hustle and bustle, there is everything you need, including good wifi and English satellite TV, a filter coffee machine etc, but it's not full of mod-cons, it's exactly what you should expect from a beautiful rural holiday home.

Relaxing rural retreat
The charming gite is located in peaceful French countryside, a pleasant 23 minute walk from the local village. Although, rural, the gite is not isolated and the owner lives nearby. The private pool is a wonderful place to escape the heat and the spacious, well-equipped, accommodation offers everything you need.

Wonderful comfortable hospitality in a beautiful setting.
This accommodation is in a beautifully renovated barn. The old beams and character of the place are just wonderful and the house has all the comforts and mod cons you would want. The swimming pool is a wonderful bonus and it has really made the place a destination. We of course visited the amazing Puy du Four for two days and this was a wonderful place to rest and recover afterwards. Our hosts generously left a lovely welcome pack with local goodies which we thouroughly enjoyed. The countryside surrounding the house is stunning. I would gladly return for a wonderful holiday again.

Lovely quiet rural retreat
Roland and Tracey were as friendly and as welcoming as always. We haven't been to the gite for 7 years and everything was as good as we remembered. The whole family had a fantastic time karting, horse riding , relaxing by the pool, and to top it off The Tour de France started from the nearby village which was a spectacle to see. The gite is clean and spacious with everything you could need. Highly recommended.

Lovely homely gite
Lovely gite in a very nice quiet countryside area. Facilities were superb even though it was March and obviously we didn’t use the swimming pool. All the garden chairs tables loungers were in the games room ready for use Roland and Tracey were super hosts. They left us a welcome pack of milk eggs and wine and during our stay brought us a jar of local honey Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone.

Relaxing countryside gite in peaceful setting
We had an excellent two week stay at La Bernerie. The pool was fantastic and was used everyday. Roland ensured it was clean and safe each day our stay. The range seating areas outside meant we could sit in the sunshine or the shade. This is a beautiful, clean, well maintained and well equipped gite in a quiet countryside setting. We found plenty of interesting local places to visit during our two week stay. Roland and Tracey were incredibly helpful both during the stay and before our visit - on hand and available if needed but also left us in peace to relax. We would certainly recommend this gite to anyone wanting to explore rural French life.

Fabulous accomodation ideal for families
We had a lovely stay in this very well equipped gite. The pool and garden area were great to enjoy in the sunshine, whilst in the evening the lounge area was comfy, with British TV and added bonus. Great location only 1/ 2 hour from puy du fou which was amazing. The owners are friendly and helpful and great correspondence. Highly recommended to families wanting to visit the area.

A wonderful family holiday here - again!
This was our second two week stay and once again we had a wonderful family holiday in this beautiful gite which feels like home (but much, much better!) Tracey and Roland are perfect hosts - discrete but there if needed and just a lovely couple who lead a fascinating and enviable life in this picturesque spot in the countryside. The gite is very clean and well equipped. Bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and downstairs are great. We enjoyed many memorable al fresco family meals at the dining table under the large tree in the garden - after hours of fun in the swimming pool and often late into the evening, enjoying the quiet sounds and smells of nature. Many highly competitive table tennis tournaments were had in the games room. The best bread and pastries ever tasted are a short cycle ride away. The beautiful Mervent forest and fabulous children's park are a short drive away. Getting to the beach for the day was no problem if we wanted to venture a bit further. We ate very well in plentiful nearby restaurants. We will return for sure, we just love it!

Prima vakantiehuis
We vonden het een zeer goed huisje. Ook voor onze kindjes was het ideaal. Alles was er voorzien. Goed uitgeruste keuken, ruime slaapkamers, verwarmd afgesloten privézwembad, proper... De eigenaars wonen vlakbij maar geven je alle privacy, wel praktisch als je hen iets wil vragen. Het huis is rustig gelegen, wie veel wil bezoeken moet wel bereid zijn om even onderweg te zijn. Voor wie de rust opzoekt is het ideaal.

Beautiful property with heated pool in the Vendee
A revisit, our first ever one anywhere after many years, this being nine years after we first stayed. It was everything we remembered, both the property itself and the welcome from Tracey and Roland. The gite is close to the owners so there is support if required or you can just be left to your own devices. Your privacy if you so wish is secure, but Tracey and Roland are on hand if so desired and they are great, both through the whole booking process to payment and to returning your deposit as well as being friendly, helpful and informative when you are actually there. The gite is spotless, the back bedrooms remain cool which is great for the kids and you have a welcome basket upon arrival. The upstairs lounge is roomy and there is free view TV and the master bedroom is spacious with an ensuite. Outside we particularly like the great walnut tree which provides shade over an outside table, there is a spacious lawned area for any games or just a simple kick about and the pool is lovely and heated. There is also a games room. Locally in the town there is a boulangerie, a small supermarket and on a Friday night a bar that works with a fish and chip van. The menu of the day in the local restaurant was also good as witnessed by all the people dining at lunch time - simple, hearty fair with wine included. There are good supermarkets in both directions. A must if you stay is a visit to the Puy du Fou - brilliant, bonkers in some ways, but excellent and great entertainment for all the family with spectacular shows. It is only half an hour or so away. Whilst this time we did not do too much you can get to the coast if you so wish, we just had great fun trying all the local little roads and working our way to and from the gite. All in all, highly recommended and if you stay we wish you a great holiday! Our thanks to Tracey and Roland for another great week.

Fabulous - heel tof, sfeervol en rustig
We've stayed 3d/4n at La Bernerie on half april and we've had a very good time there. The gite is wonderfull, cosy, well maintained and very well equiped and is situated in a calm rural town. Our children loved the games room. Easy reachable by car form Belgium and north of France by the A11/A87. We spend two days at Le Puy Du Fou and a day at the Vendée beaches. We thank Roland and Tracey for there warm welcome, we greatly appreciate the supplied tea, coffee, milk, orange juice and local wine, honey and eggs for a good start of the holiday. Een toffe, gezinsvriendelijke familiegite in een rustig landelijk gehuchtje. Netjes ingericht en volledig uitgerust. Goed bereikbaar met de wagen via de A11/A87. Bezoek Puy Du Fou en ook de stranden van de Vendée. Warm en vriendelijk onthaal en heel tof : een pakketje streekprodukten staat klaar op tafel. Ongezien.

Perfect for our family of 5. Great place to relax.
We all absolutely loved it. Our three children range from 17 to 22 and were very happy lounging by the lovely pool, playing table tennis, darts and badminton. They even loved playing Monopoly and chess in the evenings. The property was extremely clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Even a hairdryer. We really appreciated that as we had no room to pack ours. Roland and Tracy were absolutely lovely and so helpful. It was great that their house was behind the gite so we knew if we needed anything they were close by. All in all, we had a very happy holiday. Gorgeous weather and a lovely location - easy to drive to from Calais too.
