Fantastic location allowing easy access to the beaches of the Vendée, the Marais Poitevin, La Rochelle, Cognac, the town of Luçon, the lake of Chassenon and more. Moreilles is a small village with a bakery so a car is necessary! The bakery is not open on Sundays but there is a baguette machine. The house is a lovingly restored property with lots of space including a long garden, apart from the kitchen. We were a group of 6 adults and a baby and we found the kitchen a bit cramped and missing some essential items. Dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, filter coffee, fridge/freezer all fine. Small 'oven' didn't really work and we read the instructions. 2 large reception rooms and the sun room were all great. Downstairs bedroom, shower, toilet fine, but that was the only shower for upto 8 people? Upstairs the bedrooms, although a good size, became very warm at night. Bathroom and a separate toilet were fine. The pool lasted less than a week before it turned green, and we definitely followed instructions on running the filter system and putting in chlorine tablets. That took 3 days before being fixed and, then, the pool started throwing a pipe and was unusable once more. We did enjoy our stay but feel for the price we were charged that the problems mentioned should have been fixed or, at least worked on. Mr Bouard was always quick to answer e-mails prior to the visit and welcomed us on arrival and was prompt for our intended departure time. After our departure I sent him an e-mail thanking him for our stay and telling him of our concerns. I said that I hoped he took our comments as a positive incentive on how to improve an already good property and that we did not intend to offend him. He chose not to reply.
