About this property

Historic Stone Four Bedroom Farmhouse - Walk To O'Gliss Water Park!

Beautifully restored with a blend of traditional French character and modern comfort, our spacious farmhouse offers a peaceful countryside escape for up to 10 guests.

Perfect for families, groups of friends or multi-generational holidays, the farmhouse offers generous living spaces, a large garden and plenty of room to relax both inside and out. It’s also brilliantly placed for days out, with O’Gliss Park – one of France’s best water parks.

Set within half an acre of private grounds in the heart of the Vendée countryside, the property is ideally located between La Roche-sur-Yon and La Tranche-sur-Mer, putting beautiful sandy beaches, family attractions and charming local villages within easy reach.

The farmhouse comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, with spacious bedrooms and plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their stay.

Two of the bedrooms benefit from their own private en-suite shower rooms, each with two showers, while there is also a separate family bathroom with a bath – ideal for larger groups and families with children.

All of the bedrooms have doors opening directly onto the patio areas, allowing you to step outside and enjoy the peaceful countryside surroundings from the moment you wake up.

At the heart of the house is a fully equipped modern kitchen with everything you need for preparing family breakfasts, leisurely lunches and evening meals. There is also a separate utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, particularly handy for longer stays.

Outside is where the farmhouse really comes into its own. Two large patio areas overlook the surrounding countryside and are furnished with sun loungers and wooden tables, providing plenty of space for al fresco dining, relaxing in the sunshine or enjoying an evening BBQ.

There is a further patio area beside the garden within the courtyard, as well as a large private garden with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the French sunshine.

A spacious private courtyard provides off-road parking for several cars.

Guests have exclusive use of the entire farmhouse and its grounds throughout their stay.

This includes the large private garden, courtyard, three patio areas and private parking, so you can settle in and make the property your own for the duration of your holiday.

Bed linen and towels are not included within the standard accommodation price.

If you would prefer us to provide linen for your stay, please get in touch before your arrival and let us know what you require. We will be happy to provide a quote for the linen charge.

Whether you’re planning lazy days at the farmhouse, trips to the Vendée’s golden sandy beaches, family adventures at O’Gliss and O’Fun, or days exploring the beautiful French countryside, the farmhouse makes a wonderful base for a relaxing group holiday.

Great property for family and friends

Wonderfully spacious property that easily catered for two families. The house and grounds are well presented with a lot of space for sunbathing, eating and playing outside and easy parking for multiple cars. The inventory was plentiful and everything we needed was found. Comfortable and spacious bedrooms complete with fans for those warmer days. A short drive finds boulangeries, supermarkets and beaches as well as o'Gliss water park which is a great family day out! Would definitely recommend this for a perfect holiday in the Vendee.

Assez satisfaisant

Maison avec beaucoup de charme et de cachet, sanitaires et sols propres, un peu plus aléatoire pour le reste... Certaines choses mériteraient d'être remplacées comme une partie des casseroles en mauvais état, des housses de couette boulochées pas très agréables, le manche de l'aspirateur cassé, un canapé et certains matelas qui ont déjà bien vécu,... La cuisine est sinon plutôt bien équipée, même si un lave vaisselle aurait été le bienvenu ! Les chambres sont assez grandes et claires (2 suites parentales) L'extérieur est très agréable et entretenu, un super barbecue sur une belle terrasse sans vis à vis, mais les tables de repas sont en très mauvais état avec des assises instables. Egalement une odeur désagréable de fioul dans l'une des chambre à chaque fois qu'on ouvre les fenêtres (cuve juste à coté). L'environnement est très calme, le séjour reste agréable dans l'ensemble.

C'est une belle maison mais nous avons très froid beaucoup d'humidité problème de chauffage impossible de l'allumer le ménage laisse à désirer. L'équipement de cette maison n'est pas conçu pour 10 personnes la table trop petite et manque de chaises dehors les tables en bois avec les bancs sont vétustes. Cuisine bien équipée mais il manque un lave vaisselles Dans la chambre du bas quand on ouvre les fenêtres, nous avons l'odeur de la cuve à fioul Il manque la WI FI non précisé dans l'annonce L'emplacement est très bien au calme, nous avons passé un agréable séjour

Le Bernard

Really enjoyed our holiday. There were 10 of us and we all fitted in well with minor adjustments. The kitchen was very well equipped which was important for ten hungry people! The location was good being just 25 minutes from the lovely town of La Tranche sur Mer and the lovely beaches. If you want to go to the nearby Waterpark in high season make sure you book ahead!

Large villa with spacious garden

Positive: - The size of the house and the garden. - Very quiet neighbourhood. You need transport but that's something we chose so we are ok with that. - Pet friendly, something that was very important to us. - Well equipped kitchen (without dishwasher) Negative: - It's a house for 10 people but there isn't a table for 10 people. Also the only table inside the house is for 6 people and we were 7 adults. A bit uncomfortable. - We had to pay an extra cleaning fee but the house was not clean on arrival. In fact I would dare to say that it wasn't cleaned at all. We made a complaint with the owner, we also sent a few pictures as proof. We had to wait 2 days for an answer. The owner promised us a compensation but we never received anything. - No Wifi - No dishwasher

Wunderschönes Haus in sehr ruhiger Lage

Das Haus ist wunderschön und geräumig. Viele Leute haben im Haus und auf dem gesamten Grundstück genug Platz um sich zu beschäftigen und zu entspannen. Es ist zwar gewöhnungsbedürftig, daß es kein WLAN gibt, aber so findet man mehr Ruhe für ein gutes Buch oder ausgibiges Sonnenbaden. Absolut Empfehlenswert!!! Man sollte bedenken, daß Frankreich an sich sehr weitläufig ist und daher einige KM zu fahren sind, wenn man größere Städte besuchen möchte. Aber es ist jedesmal wieder eine Freude in dieses Haus zurück zu kommen.

Pretty perfect!

We had a lovely week (helped by a week of extraordinarily gorgeous weather!) The property was great for our group and the nearby beaches were beautiful. We spent most of our time at La Terriere. One point - property sleeps 10 but there are only 6 dining chairs. We were a party of 8. A few extra chairs to use if needed would be great (perhaps simple folding ones stored in the utility room). Also here is no WiFi available, which I hadn’t picked up when booking. Wasn’t really a problem for us and understand the value of switching off when on holiday but there were times it would have been helpful for us to do local research without eating up data, and for a spot of work for one of our group. Highly recommend this house.

Fantastic house and location

We had a fantastic time here - the house is incredibly comfortable and spacious, well kitted out and clean. This is a great location for groups, especially if you have children, with a lot of outside space and very close to beaches and a whole host of other things to do (Chateau d' Adventure being a big hit, as was O'Gliss water park) The owners were very responsive during the booking and check-in process. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Très beau gîte, mais quelques retouches sont nécessaires

Très beau gîte, mais quelques retouches sont nécessaires. Le ménage pas fait! Pas assez de chaises pour huit personnes et la table un peu juste, pas de chaînes de télévision française surprenant en France, nous n'avons pas pu supporter notre équipe de France féminine pendant le mondial ! Manque de la vaisselle, verres et saladiers. Et le plus désagréable forte Odeur fioul! Si non très beau gîte et au calme

Agréable et calme

Propriété de plain-pied très bien équipée...sans doute un manque d'espaces de rangement si on est quatre dans la chambre dite familiale. Procédure d'arrivée et de départ particulière: aucun contact physique avec quiconque, mais tout est très bien expliqué dans un dossier par mail. Proprio anglais...pas de télé française ou de wi-fi...on se sent un peu loin du monde! Et il faudrait le savoir à l'avance... Grande surface et boulangerie à 4 petits kms. Calme garanti sur place et excellente situation pour explorer les Sables d'Olonne et la côte vendéenne, La Rochelle et l'Île de Ré, le Marais poitevin et le Puy du Fou. Nous n'avons pas regretté notre séjour. JP, Bruxelles

Erholung pur!

Sehr schönes geräumiges Haus mit kompletter Ausstattung, zwei tolle Terrassen mit Sitzgelegenheiten und Liegestühlen, Gasgrill, alles sauber und gepflegt. Die Kinder fanden den Garten und die bereit gestellten Spielsachen super. Dazu wirklich nette und hilfsbereite Hausverwalter, Kontakt auf Englisch und Französisch. Schöne Sandstrände, nicht überfüllt. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit dort. Kleine Minuspunkte: kein W-LAN und nächster Supermarkt 8 km entfernt. Zu Bedenken: bei selbst mitgebrachter Bettwäsche an die Übergröße der Bettdecke im Ehebett denken! Vielen Dank an die Eigentümer für das tolle Ferienhaus!

Thank you for your fantastic review Ursula, we're glad you enjoyed your stay at our house! We understand the Wifi situation isn't great, but the service to the house is so poor in our location that it wouldn't be worth paying for unfortunately. Hopefully it will improve in the future!

What a beautiful place to stay! It has been a privilege to have the chance to treat this place as home for a while. An amazing restoration that looks stunning and spacious but still feels homely and comfortable. The outside space is lovely too and we really appreciated the games and outdoor equipment for the kids. In a great location for the beaches, visiting towns and villages, the Ile de Re, water park, etc. Thank you, we've had a very memorable family holiday and would love to go back sometime.

About the host

Hosted by Kim

Host profile image
We live and work in a small town called Swanage on the south coast of the UK. We're both passionate about home restoration and renovation and have completed several projects of our own here in Dorset as well as in Cornwall and the French Alps. We have an appetite for an active outdoors lifestyle which is why we love everything the Vendee has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Having visited the west coast of France on surf trips and family holidays for many years we decided it was time to combine our passion for restoration and renovation with our love for this fantastic part of the world. We wanted a base for ourselves, friends and family to use to take in the French culture and enjoy the many activities on offer in the Vendee and we found this secluded farmhouse near Moutiers-les-Mauxfaits was the perfect location. The warm climate is also a huge draw as the Vendee is home to some of the sunniest weather in France – perfect for those lazy days at the beach!

What makes this property unique

Our farmhouse has been tastefully restored to a very high standard and is something that we are incredibly proud of , it's the perfect luxury retreat. But the real secret of this farmhouse is being surrounded by countryside and feeling like you're miles from civilisation, yet in reality you're only minutes from beautiful beaches, traditional French villages, busy tourist towns, family theme parks and much more.
