This is a fantastic find. Marion and Jean-Marie are a lovely couple who gave us a wonderfully warm welcome and enabled our holiday to run so smoothly. A lovely welcome pack was a pleasant suprise and the beautiful white towels and linen was much appreciated. The house is lovely and quaint, set in beautiful orchard gardens overlooking a large field and countryside. You really do feel you are in an orchard in the middle of the country and yet the nearest beach is just a few minutes walk away. The kitchen and dining area was well equipped for our 14 people and we had enough beds and rooms to fit us really well. I should say the beds were all new, queen sized or single, made up with lovely bed linen and white towels that was really appreciated. The upstairs room is m querky and the teenagers loved it. Lovely eating area outside with electric canopy and the hot tub was an added bonus, enjoyed by all. We made great use of the bycles that are available using the beautiful cycle tracks along the coastline:there were more than enough for all who could ride them which meant we rarely used our cars. The area around Pornic is gorgeous, lots of lovely coves to explore but our party took three yatchs so mainly kept to the nearest beach, where they were able to park the boats as long as they were on a trailer and had a slipway. There are a couple of steps into the property and two to one of the bedrooms. Thank you Marion and Jean-Marie it was amazing, everyone loved it.
