Le Pigeonnier

chipchase northumberland england
Review Submitted: July 13, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This was our first trip to France, we had a great time and would certainly return to the area and this property. We flew to La Rochelle airport, picked up a hire car & drove to our accommodation which only took 20 minutes. The property was charming, clean and well-maintained and well situated for visiting places ie. Isle de Rey, La Rochelle, Bordeaux and various beaches nearby. We were there 20th-27th June and the weather was fantastic - seven beautiful days. Suzie and Nigel were most helpful suggesting places to visit & directions, recommending restaurants and generally very friendly and welcoming. Liz & Ray

Review Submitted: July 13, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have just returned from our second wondeful holiday in the Pigeonnier. It is the best gite we have stayed in in 15 years of holidaying in France with the best hosts. We can't rate this holiday too highly !! Situation is perfect for couples and families. It has got even better with the addition of the pool. We will certainly be returning for a third time soon.

Le Pigeonnier nr Landrais is fabulous

Jane P London, UK
Review Submitted: June 23, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have just returned from a wonderful week at Le Pigeonnier. The cottage is fabulous and caters for your every need. The owners are the perfect hosts and have done an amazing job doing up this beautiful property. They are also a fountain of useful knowledge. The scenery is lovely, the weather was fantastic and with a villlage just walking distance away it was perfect for a week away to relax and unwind. You need a car to get around but there is so much to see and do nearby that it is hard to know whether to go out and about, or lie by the fabulous new pool that has been installed this year. We have already recommended it to friends and family and hope to return again next year! A great find!!

Second stay, better each visit!!

Paul and Robbin Southampton
Review Submitted: November 24, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
Another few days of peace and relaxation just heavenly. It was so good to visit again and be looked after by Nigel and Sue. We were treated like part of the family. We found the local restaurants excellent and the gite so cosy and comfortable, there's nothing that beats a wood burning stove. If there's one critism it is that it was hard to leave!! Hope to visit for the third time early next year. Thanks Nigel and Sue

Perfect hosts for a perfect holiday

warebloke Ware, Herts
Review Submitted: November 21, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Nigel and Susie were fantastic hosts, really made our holiday magical, offering us great advice on the region. We arrived during the afternoon and were so pleased to find ourselves surrounded by sunflowers and that complimentary bottle of chilled wine on arrival was the perfect start to our holiday.

This is our sixth year staying in gites and the pigeonnier was the best accomodation we've stayed in by far. It is finished to a high standard and was exactly as described on the website, perfect.

The location of the gites is perfect for instant access to La Rochelle and at the same time quiet to relax and sleep like a log at night. The local restaurant is just a short walk from the gites and is amazing, very good value and a gastronomic experience with over five local courses served with local wine.

Would we go back, you bet, we've already booked for 2009, especially with the new pool!
